WWE 2K19: 10 Worst Looking Characters

5. Shayna Baszler

It's great to see the former NXT Women's Champion making her 2K debut. A finalist in last year's Mae Young Classic, she hit developmental like a tonne of bricks, fast establishing herself as the brand's alpha female before wresting the coveted belt from Ember Moon's clutches. She'd then embark on a successful reign on top, with stellar character work and her ability to project menace and meanness establishing her as a compelling franchise player.

This Shayna Baszler, though? It's not good. At all.

A dull, soft-featured approach robs the computerised 'Queen Of Spades' of the sheer badassery permeating her real-life work. Granted, recreating such traits is never easy for an engine this sterile, but the 2K19 version of Baszler looks like it was put together with children's plasticine. It's a shame the team weren't as able to do as strong a job with Shayna as they did for her friend, Ronda Rousey, who looks tremendous.
