WWE 2K22: 49 Playable Wrestlers Who WON'T Return
11. Luke Harper
Rest in peace, Brodie Lee.
The all-too-brief AEW run of Mr. Lee came to an end on 26 December 2020 when he sadly passed away from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. His death shocked the wrestling world, and it's a bit upsetting to think that Lee would never get that proper run he deserved outside WWE.
Brodie, as Luke Harper, was featured in 2K20. That will go down in history as the man's final video game appearance too (unless, of course, AEW stick him in one of their upcoming titles as a tribute to his memory - that's possible). For now though, it's 2K20 or bust for Lee's fanbase.
WWE probably won't pop Harper back in for 2K22. It'd be nice to see them run a tribute of their own, but Vince McMahon may elect to steer clear of this entirely and get 2K to shove somebody else onto the playable roster instead of the ex-Wyatt Family (and real life family) man.
