WWE 2K19: 10 Wrestlers 2K Should Showcase Next

9. The Shield

Now this is a tasty one.

2K would be brave to tackle the individual careers of Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose into the bargain. Instead, they'd have to pick out specific points when their careers intertwined, and focus mainly on their first run from 2012-2014 as a threatening collective who dominated WWE.

Other moments, like the Ambrose vs. Rollins feud and matches involving all three as singles stars, would fit, and so would the current reunion that's been a bit stop-start since last summer. If 2K wish, they could also explore the impact The Shield have had on WWE culture by including guest appearances by the likes of Kurt Angle and Triple H (though the latter happened on house shows, it'd still be cool to discuss).

There'd be even more ground to cover with this mode than The Miz one. That's fine, because 2K proved during the Austin collection in 2K16 that they're more than capable of handling a ton of source material. They're not intimidated by a challenge.
