WWE 2K17 Roster: 10 Superstars Who Could Make Their Franchise Debut
The face of WWE is changing...
Getting yourself onto a WWE video game is the dream for every WWE fan, right?
I know that's possible by the Create A Superstar feature, but having yourself showcased as a bonafide member of the game's roster is just one of those bucket list items that each of the current crop in WWE aim to cross off.
The majority of the current roster have realised this dream over the past few years, but given the turnover of talent that is going on at the moment, there are some that are still to make their bow under the WWE and 2K banner - a banner that has been through a topsy turvy start in life...
WWE's relationship with 2K started with the release of 2K14, a game that coupled great in-ring action with a bumper roster. We then had the debacle that was 2K15 before 2K16 restored most of our faith in wrestling video games.
2K17 promises much, and hopefully another bumper roster of over 120 Superstars is included. Hopefully it will be a more relevant roster than what we got in last year's game - Savio Vega but no Four Horsewomen?
Here are 10 Superstars who could make their franchise debut when WWE 2K17 hits the shelves in the Autumn...
10. Braun Strowman
Yeah, we'll get the ugly one out of the way first. Sorry, I don't mean that from a looks perspective, I'm getting at his severe lack of in-ring ability here.
Braun Strowman's moveset will be the most limited on WWE 2K17, and that's a game that will include Eva Marie... let that one settle in.
Strowman made his main roster debut in August of last year when he attacked Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns on RAW. While he was booked into a far from prominent role on television in NXT, his inclusion in WWE 2K16 was never even a consideration due to the timing of his RAW bow - with the scans talking place in and around WrestleMania 31.
Nevertheless, there's no doubt the Wyatt is learning on the job and doing the best he can in what is a difficult role to get over. He's the muscle in a group of giant, muscular men led by arguably the most underutilized guy on the roster right now.
Expect big things from him and The Wyatts this year once Bray gets over that niggling calf injury picked up in Milan.
