This one’s a no-brainer, really. There are a number of current Raw and SmackDown superstars that are still missing from the 2K17 roster, but let’s be honest, is anyone really clamouring to play as Jinder Mahal or Curt Hawkins? Likewise, The Shining Stars are represented as Los Matadores again this year, but is there any real need to include their updated identities?

One man stands-out among these faces. Rhyno is currently one half of SmackDown’s tag team champions and currently finds himself at the centre of Heath Slater’s shockingly entertaining “free agent” storyline. He’s playing an important role on WWE’s most compelling television show, and as a current champion, it’d be a huge surprise to see him not included in a future DLC pack.

Though Rhyno has only just returned to WWE television in the past couple of months, he’s been moonlighting in NXT for a while now, and there’s a strong chance his character is already in development. The prospect of being able to digitally Gore hapless opponents into another realm is just too great to ignore at this point.
