As it relates to the female superstars, a glaring omission from WWE 2K games is the Ninth Wonder of the World, Chyna. While WWE has proved it has double standards when it comes to wrestlers' outside-the-ring activities (see: Sean Waltman), Chyna is still persona non grata as it relates to WWE merchandise. If a Chyna appearance were to happen, it could lead to bigger and better things for the memory of Joanie Laurer.

Even before Chyna's passing in 2016, fans speculated about a WWE Hall Of Fame induction with Steve Austin even broaching the topic with Triple H on the WWE Network's Stone Cold Podcast. For all intents and purposes, the notion was shot down (this was prior to Joanie Laurer's death in April 2016), but as they say, "time heals all wounds."

A 2K roster spot could be the first step towards WWE recognizing Chyna's rightful place in sports-entertainment history. At the same time, given Chyna's work in the adult entertainment business, a digital recreation for a product aimed largely at children may not be the smartest move, politically.

Were it not for Chyna's post-WWE career, she might rank higher on the list. As it is, several other legends are a bit more likely to appear in 2K18...
