10. NXT To Main Roster Mode

How cool would it be to take Samoa Joe on a journey from NXT to the main roster? The big Samoan had blistering battles with Finn Bálor on NXT TakeOver shows and was one of the main players on the developmental brand from the summer of 2015 right through until his Raw debut in January, 2017.

Joe wouldn't be an isolated case should 2K produce an NXT Showcase either, because playing as Bálor, Bayley and even tag-teams like Enzo Amore and Big Cass would also have to feature. NXT has shown up in WWE video games, but aside from it being a focal point of the last-gen releases in 2K15, it hasn't had much love.

Taking one of the NXT success stories from 'Developmental Hell' to the heights of Raw and SmackDown seems like a no-brainer. Fans shower WWE's third brand with love regularly, and they'd like to do so in digital form. Let loose, 2K.
