WWE 2K16 Leaked Video Shows Commentary & Reveals Some Roster Additions

Shawn Michaels seemingly confirmed and more details on the Austin era mode.

Leaked video footage appears to show Jerry 'The King' Lawler and Jim Ross recording commentary for the new Stone Cold Steve Austin mode that is set to feature in WWE 2K16. The video, uploaded by WWE Series Videos, is recorded from outside one of the recorded booths and appears to show the back of King and JR as they recite their lines for the new game.

Ross said: €œIn talks with 2K Sports to do some work on their next video game for WWE. Love the process and from what I€™m told the new game will be extremely provocative and certainly has my attention already. Stay tuned.€ If those two matches were 2/15ths of the mode, then describing it as provocative will certainly be more than appropriate...
