WWE 2K17: 10 DLC Characters We Most Want

10. TJ Perkins

According to 2K Sports themselves, it takes several months for an individual wrestler to be added to WWE 2K. While the process of scanning their image takes a mere 5-10 minutes, it takes the developer a further two months to complete the modelling process from start to finish. Their moves, taunts, mannerisms, and attire all need to be imported after that, making each new addition a significant undertaking.

This is why WWE games are usually missing the company’s newest roster addition: it simply takes too much time to implement them before release, and with Raw’s Cruiserweight Division having only debuted this week, there’s little chance of seeing any of its participants in 2K17 any time soon.

2K16 received DLC updates all the way through to February this year, however, so there’s every chance we’ll see them added before the end of 2K17’s lifespan. It’d be a shame not to see Raw’s Cruiserweight Division represented in-game, particularly after the outstanding work they contributed in the Cruiserweight Classic, and who better to stand as the division’s first addition than TJ Perkins?

The current Cruiserweight Champion is a fluid and dynamic wrestler capable of adapting to any situation, and his trademark dab taunt would surely become a favourite of CAW-makers everywhere.
