Today has seen 2K Games officially announce the complete roster for the hotly anticipated WWE 2K23 that is now just one month away from release.

With John Cena adorning the WWE 2K23 cover, the game will feature 100 wrestlers at its launch point. As is usually the case, it's likely that more names of today and yesteryear will be added as downloadable content in the weeks and months after 2K23 is released.

The full list of the 178 superstars - if our tallying-up is correct - available to take control of when WWE 2K23 launches are as follows:

In addition to those names, the Ruthless Aggression Pack will give players access to Brock Lesnar '01, Randy Orton '02 and Leviathan (the OVW gimmick for Batista), whereas the Bad Bunny Bonus Pack will give access to, well, Bad Bunny.

Interestingly, Johnny Gargano is not listed on the official WWE 2K23 website, though Johnny Wrestling and 2K Games have used Twitter to confirm his involvement in the game.

Of course, given the nature of video games and the ever-changing landscape of WWE, a few of the stars included in the game have undergone gimmick changes since the game was being developed, though WWE 2K23 certainly has quite the stacked roster to get to grips with. Likewise, there are several notable absences where wrestlers clearly weren't in the WWE fold in time to make the cut - with names such as Bray Wyatt, the Good Brothers, Mia Yim, Candice LeRae, Tegan Nox, and Hit Row falling under that category.

Available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Steam, WWE 2K23 is on general release from 17 March... though those who pre-order the Icon Edition will get early access from 14 March.
