WWE 2K16 First Screenshot Is JBL's Hat

Not quite what fans expected to see in WWE 2K16's first image.

The first screenshot of WWE 2K16 is JBL's hat on the Raw announce table. The image was released by the @wwe2kdev Instagram account, with the caption "Look what we found in The Cabinet." It isn't exactly the awesome screenshot that fans had expected to be released first, but it is a fun nod to the fact that JBL will be calling commentary on this year's game. Presumably he'll also be featured as a playable character. The choice of quote "Look what we found in The Cabinet" is a reference to his WWE Championship days when he headed up The Cabinet faction. The actual wrestling screenshots should be coming in the next few weeks. August has traditionally been 2K's month to let loose the roster, the screenshots, and video footage. The hype machine has already started up, with the Stone Cold Steve Austin commercial and this past week the Arnold Schwarzenegger commercial. Schwarzenegger will be a playable character in the game, under the guise of his Terminator character. Fans who pre-order will be able to play as The Terminator straight away. The game is just three short months away, with a late October release on both next generation consoles and last generation consoles.
