DLC is usually planned out in advance. Think the last time they did DLC for anyone who debuted after Mania was the Nexus.

Yeah, I doubt we get Drew. Really anybody who debuted after Mania is pushing it.
I think DLC will shape up something like this: Future Stars Pack Aleister Black Elias Samson Kassius Ohno No Way Jose Ruby Riot (sub out other pre-Mania NXT characters for any of these that get revealed next week) 205 Live Pack Ariya Daivari Drew Gulak Mustafa Ali Noam Dar Tony Nese (205 Live arena is confirmed and I'm banking on Swann, Kendrick, and Gallagher being revealed next week...if they're not though they'd be here instead of some of the ones listed) UK Pack Mark Andrews Pete Dunne Trent Seven Tyler Bate Wolfgang Supposedly there won't be a HOF Showcase pack this year because Angle's already the pre-order bonus and DDP/Rude are in the game. Maybe Beth and the Rock 'n Roll Express get revealed next week, if not maybe there's an extra pack with them and a couple other legends. Oh and I fully expect the Hardys to be DLC too, maybe as standalone guys. No real reason they couldn't be on disc but it'd be a total 2k thing to make them DLC. |

Hardys being in a Tag Team DLC pack with the Rock and Roll Express is a possibility. Maybe throw Heavy Machinery in there too.

To me the two biggest "surprise" omissions were Andrade Almas and James Ellsworth, and even with the latter I kinda understand not putting him in since he's really a manager more than he is a wrestler.
Almas though is a head-scratcher. On a game that has such a heavy NXT presence to not have a guy who's been on pretty much every Takeover is a surprise. Guessing the Future Stars pack they do every year will be: Almas, Black, Ruby, Elias, and maybe Heavy Machinery. Probably no Drew though since he signed later on. |

Ellsworth should 100% be in. Why would they exclude certain people? Fuck then. That is like Madden being like, new we don't want to put Adrian Peterson in this year.

I'm guessing including Brian Pillman in a game that already has The Brian Kendrick in it wouldve been too big of a logic bomb for the system.
Oh well |

The cruisers that missed out were ones that I expected to miss out - but even still it's like 5 dudes (Nese, Gulak, Daivari, Ali, Dorado). Wish they could've made it. They may wind up being a DLC pack but still...I'm sure they could've squeezed them in.
Rumor has it Almas specifically asked to not be in the game. Seems odd to me but it would explain the one glaring omission to the roster. |

Knowing 2k that's why they got saved for DLC. Get a shitload of new moves by downloading them.

Honestly, the only reason I still bought these games was because of the great presentation and all the moves that weren't in Fire Pro Returns.
With Spike constantly adding more moves to World, and mods providing enough authentic presentation to satisfy me, I may not buy this or any other 2k game until they make some drastic changes. Which probably won't happen because so many people buy this game regardless. |

Surprised they didn't bother to include a couple of notable guys from WWE's UK division. Tournament happened well before the usual Mania cut-off date.

Career mode details. Well, the entire mode has been a dull slog every year since they introduced it, but they promised it would be more refined and have a multiplayer endgame, so let's see what they've done.

Sounds like more iteration that revolution AGAIN. I just hope it doesn't have the same stupid milestones like holding a belt for a year or whatever. |

In Fan Favorite mode, Kevin Dunn kills your push halfway through and ships you off to 205 Live for the rest of your career.

And as a Company Man, you constantly get upstaged by Triple H as he slowly but surely makes everything you do irrelevant, until at last he unifies the WWE and Universal Championships and reigns for all the rest of eternity, having pushed you, his one remaining opponent out of WWE and into the arms of another company which immediately lets you win their laughable piece of metal and leather they call a "world championship" in your debut match your first night with the company.

Looks cool.
I'm not following it super close but what'll swing it for me is what they have from pre-2005 in terms or wrestlers and arenas and what the creation modes are like. If both those things are good, I'll pick it up. What I saw in the video leaves me optimistic for the pre-2005 stuff. I still can't find any videos of any off the games creation modes so I'm guessing they haven't shown anything. |

I dunno, I'm fully expecting the Switch version to look like that because it's still supporting 8 people in the ring.
That said, it looks so off. Like the textures haven't loaded in yet. |
