WWE 2K19 Ratings: 10 Superstar Ratings That Make No Sense

10. Adam Cole

Rating: 81

Why It Makes No Sense: When Adam Cole debuted leading The Undisputed Era in August 2017, WWE 2K18 was immediately flooded with CAWs that allowed the user to take on the role of the former Bullet Club member, and the prospect of his 2K19 video game debut left fans frothing at the mouth with anticipation. Then… he was rated 81.

Since his first appearance at TakeOver: Brooklyn 3, Cole has done more in his debut year than most NXT superstars have completed in their whole career. Winning the first War Games match in nearly two decades with the Undisputed Era, he then exhibited a strong showing in the 2018 Royal Rumble (a rare occurrence for an NXT superstar) as well as winning the 2018 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. He capped off his list of NXT accomplishments by winning a 6-man ladder match to become the inaugural NXT North American Champion as well as winning the NXT Tag Titles with Kyle O’Reilly.

Sure, it could be argued that he’s been made to look arrogant and cowardly due to his heel booking, or that NXT superstars should generally be rated lower than their main roster counterparts, but to reduce a debut year as explosive as Cole’s to a mere 81 is an injustice.

To rate him amongst his equally successful NXT comrades such as Aleister Black (84) would undisputedly (get it?) be a better choice.
