WWE 2K23: 45 REMOVED Superstars That Appeared In WWE 2K22! (Plus The Reasons Why!)

Рет қаралды 295,762

Күн бұрын

Following the full WWE 2K23 roster reveal, today we're taking a look at every Superstar who appeared in WWE 2K22, but didn't make the cut for 2K23.
This list includes all of the Superstars that were removed and the reasons why.
A lot of the removals are down to Superstars being released, however there's several Superstars that have been removed from the roster that are still under contract to WWE such as Sarray, Roderick Strong, Road Dogg and Naomi.
While none of the stars featured in the video are currently set to appear in WWE 2K23, there is the chance that some stars who recently returned to the company may appear as DLC.
For example, Candice LeRae, Nia Jax and Tegan Nox returned too late to be included on disc, however they may still be announced as DLC.
Other surprise absences from the WWE 2K23 roster include WWE Hall of Famers Ric Flair, Papa Shango, Road Dogg, and Mr. T.
What do you think of this years roster?

Not surprised by most of them being removed especially the ones released and wrestle for other companies and legends.

My caws are gonna be a lot different this year because most of the intros are gone and probably some moves.

It's clear to me so many of those who were already gone from WWE prior to 2k22 were left in because there were so many that their roster would've been gutted and way too small had they removed them for 2k22. Now it's too far removed and they have more new under contract people to fill those roster spots so they're gone. Also the Godfather wasn't REALLY in 2k22. He was officially locked into the Myfaction mode along with those other models that were, you couldn't access or use him in Universe or Exhibition. I know whatsthestatus put those out for use on CC for all modes but that wasn't official and is still a bit glitched as I downloaded his Godfather but could never access the 2nd attire.
