One can learn a lot from looking at the promotional pics 2K have used to announce the 2K19 roster. In the first part, for example, Dean Ambrose didn't have his new haircut or muscle mass, and even Baron Corbin had his old hairdo. Hopefully, they don't look like that in-game, but why else would those pics be used?

The same goes for some of the stars in part two.

Instead of being shown in her General Manager outfits, Paige proudly shows off some studded ring gear, suggesting that she'll be part of the active roster. Similarly, Maryse isn't named as a manager, and that means she'll be a playable wrestler again. Good, because it's nice to play as everyone on the character selection screen.

In other image news, Chris Jericho appears to have short hair (odd considering it was long the last time he was on TV) and Killian Dain of SAnitY isn't shown wearing his new singlet. This is a byproduct of 2K's annual release cycle. They simply can't keep on top of every little aesthetic change that happens.
