The last set of names from IGN’s WWE 2K17 roster reveal series are out now, pushing the total number of confirmed wrestlers to more than 100. Big names from years past joined some of the top performers currently signed to WWE in this week’s WWE 2K17 roster reveal.
There really aren’t any big surprises to discuss in the latest batch of names for the WWE 2K17 roster. Anyone who’s been watching professional wrestling for more than a couple of years will already be familiar with the vast majority of names from this week’s list, despite the presence of more WWE Legends than we typically tend to see in one week. But even the retired performers, which include current Raw general manager Mick Foley (as Cactus Jack, Dude Love and Mankind) and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, should be familiar to anyone following the roster this closely.
Of course, a lack of surprises doesn’t mean we aren’t excited about several names confirmed for WWE 2K17 this week. Asuka and Bayley are welcome additions to the game, especially after the latter’s exclusion from WWE 2K16 , and we’re excited to finally see 2K confirm newly-crowned WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens will be handing out Pop-Up Powerbombs in the latest addition to the WWE 2K series. And is anyone really surprised to see former Shield members Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins join the WWE 2K17 roster?
