WWE 2K18: Predicting All 130 Superstars Who Will Be Included
110. Goldust
Reborn with the shackles of R Truth unapologetically removed in recent times it's going to be an interesting time for Goldust as he appears to be getting one last singles push before hanging up the golden globes...
'The old Goldust' has been seen on RAW in recent times and while WWE won't be able to push the boundaries they did in 1996, it's a gimmick that certainly still has legs as a heel in this day and age. Oh, and of course, his is an entrance that 2K always get pitch perfect each and every year.
109. Heath Slater
Heath has kids and that's just about it. Sadly, because it's clear for all to see that Heath is a hoot that should be doing a hell of a lot more with the talents at his disposal, he's been relegated to nothing more than a pointless jobber that's seen once every blue moon once again.

108. Jeff Hardy
Jeff Hardy will be in WWE 2K18 unless the powers that be at WWE let the powers that be at 2K know that Broken Matt and Brother Nero would be a part of RAW's roster by the time the game was due to hit the shelves. We'd all rather seen Broken Matt and Brother Nero, wouldn't we? We might have to wait a while though.
107. Kalisto
Who cares?
106. Karl Anderson
The Good Brother has had a topsy turvy time as part of RAW so far. He's been a tag team champion and he's been defeated by teams thrown together at the last minute as was seen on the most recent episode of RAW at the time of writing as Big Show and Enzo somehow managed to defeat The Club.
Who knows what's coming over the next year while 2K18 is the most must have game in the wrestling world, such is the state of the booking that goes on in the company today. It reminds me of The Desert Rose Band's hit 'One Step Forward Two Steps Back,' and as we all know, nobody gets too far like that.
105. Kurt Angle
In recent times when other outlets have divided a WWE game's roster into RAW and SmackDown ranks they've always included the on-screen authority figures so I'm going to do the same.
Kurt Angle will be in WWE 2K18, some even say he'll be cover star and might even have a featured game mode made in his honour. Either way, expect both Kurt Angle 'General Manager' and Kurt Angle 'Wrestling Machine' to be included in the new game.
104. Luke Gallows
Listeners of Talk Is Jericho's Talking Shop and viewers of Southpaw Regional Wrestling will be wondering where the Bantersaurus himself Luke Gallows goes whenever The Club appear on television. The man you see on TV compared to the man backstage appear to be night and day. You'd think with so much humour and NATURAL charisma pouring out of his veins the company would allow him to express himself more on television. Hey, maybe you could do a Plumpy and book him better in your Universe Modes...
103. Mark Henry
Like The Big Show, the end does appear to be nigh for Mark Henry in terms of his in-ring WWE career. Reduced to sporadic appearances garnered to register cheap pops in his name, this could well be the last time we see the World's Strongest Man as an active roster member in a WWE game.
He's been in a fair few down the years, hasn't he?
102. Maryse
Maryse should be in WWE 2K18 second only to Paul Heyman in the manager stakes. She's arguably the main reason behind the change in perception The Miz has gone through over the last year. The act is classic, time-honoured and just works. Her cunningness should absolutely be available to be exploited in MyCareer and the like should you so wish.
101. Matt Hardy
The un-broken traditional Hardy Boy version of Matt will be the one you get in this year's game, unfortunately. It's still good, it's just not the one we wanted... we're all brats aren't we?
Maybe 2K19 will be the year Broken Matt's Broken Brilliance is unleashed on WWE's virtual universe?
