WWE 2K22: 49 Playable Wrestlers Who WON'T Return
10. Matt Hardy
Anyone dreaming of reuniting The Hardy Boyz in 2K22 will have to rely on CAWS, because there's no way Matt is joining brother Jeff on the roster later this year. So, get used to the typically-excellent Community Creations suite if you need some 'Broken/Woken' goodness in your life.
That's as good as it's going to get.
Having one Hardy on the video game books just doesn't seem right, does it? It's sort of like 2K putting Bubba Ray Dudley back in without including D-Von, or maybe even akin to them spotlighting Big E and Kofi Kingston without including Xavier Woods (to use a modern/current example).
It's unavoidable, in fairness. Matt is under contract to AEW, and that means there's no way Vinnie Mac wants to give him one of those well-known bumper gaming payoffs again. The WWE boss couldn't give a sh*t whether or not that means fans will have to download some potentially-crummy CAW model.
