WWE 2K17: Predicting The 25 Highest Rated Superstars
15. Rusev
Last Year: 88
Prediction: 90
Were this still the League Of Nations Rusev, he might reasonably have been expected to receive a downgrade on his 88 rating from WWE 2K16, but that ship has sailed and RuRu is back.
The company are still booking Rusev incredibly strong - just as it should be - and the precedent of Big Show being a 91 last year suggests that the developers love an imposing guy in the ring. Sure, he might not be all that popular, but the game needs people to hate just as much as WWE itself, and having a few monstrous ringers suits the agenda.
