There's no danger of Bryan's thrilling WrestleMania 34 comeback three years later being left on the cutting room floor. His tag-team return (alongside Shane McMahon) to face Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn will forever be etched in WWE history as a tear-jerking visual.

Just think of what 2K have on their hands here. Fans will bawl their way through Bryan's retirement speech, punch the air and f*ck yeah along with his return announcement, and then get to wrestle as their hero in New Orleans. This Showcase is going to kick ass.

With moments like this one, it surely can't fail.

Although Bryan wasn't quite at the peak of his powers at 'Mania, fan emotion and his own excitement over being back in the ring again carried him through. The match isn't going to go down in history as a mat classic or anything, but it's part of an affecting tale.
