This year's upcoming instalment of the WWE 2K video game series has been impressing fans worldwide, with a host of incredible features to whet everyone's appetite, including the return of some favourite creation modes such as Create-A-Championship, a vastly upgraded MyCareer mode, improved gameplay, visuals and overall realism, and most intriguingly, a record-breaking 120+ unique playable characters on the roster.

The game's huge roster will do wonders for its re-playability value, giving fans the chance to put their favourite stars against the biggest names in WWE's past, present and future.

Speaking of the future, the popular NXT brand has gotten a lot more attention from 2K Devs this year, with the implementation of some of the roster's most well-known names. Despite the exclusion of the Four Horsewomen, there are some big NXT names at our disposal, and I can't wait to play as the likes of the Hideo Itami and Kevin Owens for the first time.

The great thing about these games is that you can play through matches that you otherwise may not be able to experience, and you have the chance to put some of the future's brightest stars against the current superstars and legends of WWE. Who doesn't want to see Finn Bálor take on John Cena, or Tyler Breeze go one-on-one with Dolph Ziggler?

Today we look at some of the most mouth-watering NXT vs. WWE matches we just have to get our hands on when the game release on October 30th.

7. The Vaudevillains Vs. The Prime Time Players

The Prime Time Players reunited earlier this year, and have been on an absolute roll ever since. They won the WWE Tag-Team Championship before dropping them at SummerSlam, and have been able to work around the return of the Dudley Boyz since their re-emergence a few weeks ago.

All in all, Darren Young and Titus O'Neil have gotten their careers back on the right track ever since reforming, to earn more "millions of dollars".

Simon Gotch and Aiden English recently came into some luck of their own. For a while, the two men were overlooked as members of the NXT roster, but at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn, they finally struck gold and won the NXT Tag-Team Championships.

In WWE 2K16, we have the opportunity to put one of NXT's most well-know duos up against one of WWE's, with The Vaudevillains and The Prime Time Players. When Gotch and English make their eventual debut, expect to see this match down the line, but for now you'll be able to experience it in virtual form.
