10 Wrestlers P*ssed At Their WWE 2K23 Rating

2. Rhea Ripley

WWE Elimination Chamber 2023 Rhea Ripley

Rating: 87 (increased to 90)

Fans online were shocked when the host of 2K's 'Ratings Reveal' told Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio the entire Judgment Day faction's overall scores. No-one was stunned that Dom came in as the lowest-ranked of the members, but everyone raised an eyebrow when Rhea's number popped up.

2K handed the Royal Rumble winner and surefire future SmackDown Women's Champ a measly 87 rating initially. That wasn't going to fly with the gamer base, and people let the developers know it. The backlash was so severe that 2K eventually decided to increase Ripley's rating to 90.

Someone got a tap on the shoulder at 2K HQ about that one. You couldn't have Rhea ranking below a lot of the women she's going to be joining atop the women's division very soon. Besides, she's been the standout member of JD, and deserved to be rewarded for that with the best score of the lot.

At least they fixed it once people (including Ripley) got annoyed.
