7. Kofi Kingston - 84
With Big E at 85 and Xavier Woods at 83 - bearing in mind that the bulk of the developmental work for WWE 2K16 was done in the early part of the year - you would have to admit that 2K had nailed the New Day. That is until you get to Kofi Kingston. Despite being a mainstay on the main roster for close to a decade now, Kingston's rating sees him fall short of the likes of Jack Swagger, Darren Young and Eric Rowan - all Superstars he is far superior than. You would have to put this down to a period of stagnation - and rocky start to the New Day's run - in Kofi's career. He played the role of a mid card babyface well without tearing up any trees. He would bag a couple of notable wins over the likes of Randy Orton, and bring something special out of his locker when the Royal Rumble came round, but that was about it for a long while. Then of course we had the confusion of what the New Day actually were at their inception before they came into their own as heels. We all knew how great Kofi was in the ring heading into this year, but I don't think any of us knew how great he was on the mic, "SUURRN." He, and the rest of the New Day for that matter, should be in for a huge increase in time for WWE 2K17.
