7. Shelton Benjamin

I know Shelton only returned to WWE programming two weeks ago but it's still shocking not to see his name on the roster list. Why... here's why!

Last year it was well publicised that Shelton was all set to return to WWE with an episode of SmackDown last July even announcing his imminent re-debut. However, all this happened before a torn rotator cuff scuppered his and WWE's plans.

Now colour me confused, but it was also reported that while Shelton's debut had been postponed, he was still going to sign with the company once he was fully fit again. So in that knowledge, why didn't WWE and 2K get his character model ready during his recuperation? They knew he was going to be back in a WWE ring at some stage, so why didn't they just do his scan if he was destined to return at some point during 2K18's lifespan and have it ready just incase, you know?

While Benjamin isn't perhaps as big a star, or draw, as The Hardy Boyz, his presence is certainly going to be missed in 2K18 especially when we see him flying around a SmackDown ring every week with Chad Gable.
