For years, fans of wrestling video games have been left consistently disappointed with the quality of online modes. Terrible playability has always plagued the 2K WWE games with reports of lag, disconnections and even de-syncing resulting in people in the same match experiencing different gameplay. This has ensured that playing these games online has been the last thing on the minds of the generally loyal fanbase of the series.

In an era where so many people love playing games online with both friends and strangers, it seems silly that there isn't a robust wrestling offering. There are endless possibilities. How about a ranked mode in which you play through an elimination tournament to earn the right to play in an online pay-per-view? And higher ranked players get to face off against each other for championship titles?

In a world in which battle royale modes are all the rage, isn't it odd that the sport synonymous with the stipulation hasn't put its hat in the ring?!
