This is the first in a series of weekly roster reveals, with Samoa Joe (who hasn't been confirmed for the game yet) set to appear in next week's video. There's no word on what the final character count will be, but 2K have promised "the biggest WWE roster ever," with speculation suggesting that 2K18 may include as many as 200 superstars.

The previously announced Brock Lesnar, John Cena, and cover star Seth Rollins are not included in the list. Neither are Kurt Angle, who will feature as a pre-order bonus, or Rob Van Dam and Batista, who'll come bundled with the Deluxe and Collector's editions.
