WWE 2K19: 6 Most Shocking Roster Omissions

And thus we come to the most baffling roster omission of the lot: NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa.

The man Ciampa succeeded, Aleister Black, is there, and so are fellow NXT stars Velveteen Dream and the entire Undisputed Era. Then, there's room for newcomers such as Angelo Dawkins, Montez Ford, Heavy Machinery, Oney Lorcan, Pete Dunne, Tyler Bate and more.

Seriously? Nobody once stopped to say, 'hey, we better put the reigning NXT Champ in there too'? Ciampa is a huge oversight, and it's not cool at all that he's been left cracking jokes on Twitter about being shockingly left off the 2K19 roster. Even Ciampa's ex-tag partner-turned-mortal-enemy Johnny Gargano made the cut!

Although Community Creations will throw up some fine-looking CAWs, that's besides the point. Thousands would have been looking forward to playing their own Ciampa vs. Gargano epics in the game. Now, they can't, at least with officially rendered characters, and there's no good reason why not.
