15 Wrestlers We Can't Believe Were In WWE 2K Video Games

15. Damian Lillard

Featured games: WWE 2K Battlegrounds.

It'll be three years this September since the ill-fated WWE All Stars ripoff 2K Battlegrounds was released - and still to this day, no one has a single clue as to why Damian Lillard was added to the roster.

Lillard, the iconic point guard of the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers, was added to the roster - alongside Rhea Ripley, the Boogeyman, and a Halloween circus-themed arena - as 'Laheem Lillard' for reasons that were never explained outside of his love of sports entertainment. In-game, the seven-time NBA All Star wore a white and gold variant of the Adidas Dame 7 Ric Flair sneakers; he sadly did not sport any official Trail Blazers gear.

Celebrities in WWE video games isn't a new thing. The likes of Mike Tyson and Arnold Schwarzenegger have been pre-order bonuses, being joined by Bad Bunny as the WWE 2K23 pre-order exclusive - but never to the level where the player is left questioning why they were included or, worse off, wondering who it is. WWE's roster was changing by the month in 2020, so it was possible that the player simply missed a two-week NXT call-up for Damian Lillard's second-removed cousin Laheem.
