There would've been a problem had 2K tried to pass off Ronda Rousey's series debut as befitting of post-release DLC. Though she's technically still hidden behind a pay wall as a pre-order bonus, WWE's biggest acquisition of 2018 and the current Raw Women's Champion had to be on the main roster somehow.

She is, and all is well. Oh wait, no it's not.

There are other characters fans were looking forward to playing as who won't be gracing this year's game, perhaps at all. Some (the Legends, mainly), may well be included in forthcoming downloadable packs, but it's still shocking that they haven't been made available out-of-the-box, and the same goes for those who have been removed since 2K18.
