WWE 2K15: 10 Superstars That Are Criminally Under-Rated

6. Sami Zayn - 85

When 2K15 was released back in back in October, it could be argued that an 85 for Zayn was just about right. However, it could also be argued that it was severely low when you look at other members of the game's roster. Zayn's best buddy and fellow NXT superstar Adrian Neville was awarded an 87 despite never having made an appearance on WWE mainstream TV while an 85 has him rated lower than a number of wrestlers that can't lace his boots, from a pure wrestling standpoint. Sami, who took the NXT Championship from Neville last month, proved he is just as good, if not better than his Geordie counterpart which begs the question: Why is there two rating points between them? They have both been wrestling for well over 10 years, they both signed for WWE at roughly the same time too. You'd have to put Zayn's comparatively lesser rating down to the fact he's been wrestling in WWE, and to their style guide, for less time. This is also reflected when you see the obvious passing of the torch that happened between the two at NXT R-Evolution in December. When they pair of them are battling for the Intercontinental Championship on a pay per view, it will be interesting to see how 2K Sports rates them.
