WWE 2K19: 10 New Superstars Who Must Be Included
It's time to introduce the next generation of WWE video game superstars...
If everything sticks to the usual timeframe, there should just a few months to go before WWE 2K19 releases to the public. A new addition to WWE's long-running video game franchise is always exciting for wrestling and gaming fans alike.
2K pride themselves on each year having the "biggest roster ever". Since WWE 2K15, NXT stars have also been part of the package, which has allowed fans to create some dream matches between up and coming talent of today, and the legends of years past.
The NXT portion of the roster may seem overlooked when it comes to other sections of the game, with a handful of stars always finding themselves being left out. That said, WWE 2K17 featured the most NXT wrestlers to date, with even the most boring of characters being added. I'm looking at you Sawyer Fulton.
Between the time last year's game came out and today, NXT's roster has become a landfill for phenomenal independent talents. WWE have gone a little overboard in their signings this past year, snapping up everything in sight.
2K will have a job fitting them all in to their new release. These are the ones we're absolutely hoping they find room for.
10. Kairi Sane
Mae Young Classic winner Kairi Sane has made an impact since arriving in the NXT women's division, with additional appearances in the women's Royal Rumble Match and the WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal allowing casual fans to get a glimpse of her work. Many may have been annoyed with 2K for not including her in the DLC portion of WWE 2K18.
The Pirate Princess made her name known due to her work in the all-women Japanese promotion Stardom. Alongside Io Shirai and Mayu Iwatani, Sane was classed as one of the best wrestlers in the world. Her diving elbow drop, known today as The Insane Elbow, earned her fame worldwide, and resulted in her being signed for last summer's Mae Young Classic tournament.
Kairi has surely made the cut to be on-disc this year, right? The Mae Young Classic finals took place in September, giving 2K plenty of time to get her model scanned in preparation for her inclusion.
