WWE 2K22: 10 Wrestlers Who Could Make Their Franchise Debut

10. Pat McAfee

Okay, so having a headline saying ten wrestlers and announcers doesn't really make for great SEO, but Pat McAfee did wrestle in WWE. Twice, in fact.

Both his TakeOver: XXX outing vs. Adam Cole and War Games match alongside Pete Dunne, Oney Lorcan, and Danny Burch against the entirety of the Undisputed Era were corkers. No one was expecting the performances from McAfee that we received, which is precisely why he must be included in WWE's next video game instalment.

What's interesting here is that Pat could realistically be included in one of two roles - or both; he could be entered as a SmackDown commentator if 2K decide to have multiple commentary teams in the game this year, or, the far more likely option, as a playable wrestler.

McAfee's inclusion would provide numerous cross-promotional opportunities between the two parties. McAfee is himself a huge name online away from WWE, having built up a reputation that initially resulted in his current WWE involvement. Should he be included as a playable wrestler, he'd no doubt be a hoot to play as. Recreating that dive off the War Games cage in video game form speaks for itself.
