WWE 2K24 Superstar Ratings: 10 Biggest Surprises & Snubs

10. Surprise - Austin Theory (72)

Austin Theory beat John Cena in the opening match of WrestleMania last year.

Austin Theory is only worth 72 points this year.

The fact that these two sentences can co-exist without causing wrestling fans' brains to collapse from cognitive dissonance shows just how far the former office favourite has fallen from grace. And it that phrase - "office favourite" - that sums up why Theory's brutally honest rating is such a surprise.

Generally speaking, wrestlers that WWE higher-ups are keen on pushing tend to get higher ratings than they perhaps deserve. Take Karrion Kross, for example - last year he scored an 85, despite having done not much of anything since returning to the WWE. This year, Theory and Kross have seen their scores drop by a whopping ten points, but Theory's fall from grace is the more surprising when you consider how hard WWE were pushing him last year.

Austin Theory's bang-average 72 points feels like a rare admission of failure from WWE, and proof that the wheels have fallen off the Theory project to a stunning degree.
