WWE 2K19: 10 Playable Wrestlers Who WON’T Return

1. Neville

Neville is by far the strangest case examined here, because he's technically still part of the WWE roster and his importance to the Cruiserweight division would have made him a certainty for 2K19's lineup before things went sour behind the scenes.

Currently embroiled in a lengthy contractual dispute with WWE, the Englishman looks set to miss out on a spot in the new game. Only he and company officials really know what's going on here, and it seems unlikely WWE will reward someone so unsure whether he wants to stay there with a lucrative video game appearance.

Besides, Neville isn't on television and there's no timescale for his return. If he does make a comeback, it may well be too late for 2K to start work on his character model. It looks like the "King of the Cruiserweights", a man who single-handedly revived the flagging division, will be missing out this year.

Just like Enzo Amore, Neville was used to show off the new lighting rig and graphical upgrade in last year's game. That will not be happening this time around unless something dramatically changes, and quickly.
