While I appreciate that some of these stars are still in the game like Braun Strowman, Jeff Hardy, Karrion Kross, Keith Lee, and various other favorites, I’m very disappointed that some favorites didn’t make it like Bray Wyatt or Kurt Angle as I was really looking forward to more unique dream matches and play as the Fiend in a polished simulation game, unlike 2K20 and battlegrounds doesn’t count. Such a shame what could’ve been, didn’t happen.😔

WWE 2K22 was aimed at the 2021 year.

Cool info

The game has half of the current roster.. With the rest fired, released, or left.. It's ok because wwe uses less than half of the roster across all their shows all year anyway.

Its not the first time superstars have been in a game when they arent with the company anymore (Not including Legends) since it happened in the Raw vs Smackdown games but not like 30 people it was always one or two. It really does feel like this game is very outdated already and i understand a lot of the game was done before a majority of the releases it honestly just seems like a game in a very hard place.

You forgot to mention announcer Greg Hamilton. His voice is still in but he is never referred to by name or has his face shown.

Can you do Mia Yim vs Reckoning and Dominik Dijakovic vs T-Bar?

🤘

50% of the roster. At least thats what it feels like. I love this game and I'm glad they are in or it wouldn't be much of a launch roster

Oh boy, 2k23 May hit different as well😬

2k22 is the rosters of 2020-2021 and I am sad we cant play as the fiend or many more people

Dude they can show up at any major Promotion such as pay per views. Company like Impact allow that. It gets a buzz going.

Ah yes keep Shane but don't give us the fiend

I am surprised these wrestlers are still in the game

that’s so crazy

It's ok as long as the company gives them the profit out of the video games sales to be fair. Not just using their image and then that fired superstars got nothing of it 👍👍👍👍

Why would it be “too late” to remove from the game? Hell they can release a patch anytime to remove them. Some of these were gone for ages I think this more that they were all contracted to appear in the game

Looks like they might try UFC MMA as an alternative.

“Budgetary reasons?” Yeah WWE wanted to pocket more money.

Do you have to buy the nwo version to get the nwo or will there be sold as dlc at a later date ? Anyone know ?

I still can't get used to him saying the squared-circle

The only reason they have the fired wrestlers in it is because some of them got released in 2021 and since the game is based in 2021 they had to add them to the game so the game want be boring or something like if one of them got released in December or something they might of not be added

Wow I had no idea how many of these superstars were released but still made it in. I wouldn't have bought the game if they dropped Joe, Braun, and Cesaro. If they would've removed all those NXT stars from the game, the NXT roster would be so weak.

That's like half the roster on the game RIGHT NOW !

God, I hope they still include Mickie in the next game.
