The Warrior is not scheduled to appear on WWE television any time soon, though that may change over the coming months. Warrior hasn't appeared on WWE TV since his short-lived return in the mid 90s, when his squash victory over Triple H at WrestleMania 12 failed to reignite interest in a comeback of a former star and he was burnt out several months later.
WWE 2K14 will be Warriors first appearance in a WWE video-game since 2011s WWE All-Stars. 2K14 will be released in North America on October 29 and in Europe on November 1. The game will be available for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
