WWE 2K17 Roster - 22 New Names Revealed Along With Finn Balor's Entrance
Good news for Billy Gunn fans, bad news for those who hate the sound of chainsaws.
IGN has released more than 20 new members of WWE 2K17's ever-growing roster. In addition, a full preview video of Finn Balor's elaborate entrance in the game has also been released.
The video for the Demon King's entrance is a take on Balor's arrival at NXT TakeOver: Dallas ahead of his battle with the current (then challenger) NXT Champion Samoa Joe. On that night, Balor approached the ring channeling his inner Chainsaw Charlie, swinging a chainsaw maniacally around him create a truly intimidating aesthetic.
You can see that in full below;
Everyone will have their own opinion of that entrance, but the intensity of real life version seems to be lost somewhat on the game. The noise of the chainsaw is far too high, and the mannerisms are way too close to those of the aforementioned Chainsaw Charlie, making one think for a moment that this is a Create A Wrestler mixing Balor's aesthetics with Funk's mannerisms.
22 roster members were also announced. Most were expected to be in the game, but a couple may raise some eyebrows. Let's take a look.
22. Alicia Fox
The first name announced from the latest batch of competitors confirmed for WWE 2K17 is none other than my favourite, your favourite, everyone's favourite, it is Alicia Fox!
The woman with the best bridge in the business is in the game, with many heel and face turns to come.
