WWE 2k16

**Evil Vito** · 08-31-2015, 11:35 PM

Doing a quick overview of the entire roster announced to this point to try to see who else might make it in. Right now it's up to 79 that have been confirmed (spoilered for length):

SPOILER: show

Of that group, only 14 weren't in last year. It seems pretty clear by now that anybody from 2k15 who is still on good terms with WWE is being ported over. That's part of the reason they were able to make the roster so big.

We can safely rule out Hogan, Punk, Del Rio, Mysterio, and Gabriel. AJ Lee is still a possibility as she wrestled at WM 31 and didn't really leave WWE on bad terms, but given that she's Mrs. Punk I'll leave her out. That leaves the following yet to be announced from last year's game:

Big E
Bray Wyatt
Christian
Corey Graves
Damien Sandow
Honky Tonk Man
Jey Uso
Jimmy Uso
Kofi Kingston
Konnor
Mark Henry
Rob Van Dam
Rusev
Shawn Michaels
The Great Khali
Viktor
Xavier Woods

If they're all in, that brings the roster to 96 and includes the entire active male roster as of WM except for Los Matadores. I can't really think of a good reason why they'd be the only current guys left out when even Slater and Ryder made it in, so let's figure they're in to bump it to 98.

We're probably not through with NXT inclusions. Charlotte, Corbin, and Enzo/Cass have their shirts spotted in the NXT crowd. Sasha supposedly confirmed she was scanned for the game.

I've seen people speculate that 2k were using February's NXT Takeover Rival as their basis for who to put in the game. I don't know if it's true, but so far all of the NXT reveals have matched up with people who were on that show and it's a fun thought, so screw it...let's put them all in:

Baron Corbin
Bayley
Becky Lynch
Blake
Bull Dempsey
Charlotte
Colin Cassady
Enzo Amore
Murphy
Sasha Banks

And that brings the roster up to 108. The remaining spots to get to 120 unique characters would be for Austin's Showcase mode. Vince, Bret, LOD, Pillman, and probably at least 2 Foley personas would be in to go along with Austin, Roberts, and different alts for guys like Rock, Taker, HBK, HHH, Kane, etc. No idea who else they'll put into that mode since it's not clear how in-depth it will be.

Can't rule out some of those extra NXT inclusions actually being DLC to make way for more Austin Showcase characters. Still think Samoa Joe will be the headliner for a NXT-focused DLC pack. We'll see.
