WWE 2K23: 10 Rumours You Need To Know

5. The Cover Star

Rey Mysterio was a surprising choice to grace the cover on WWE 2K22's sleeve, but devs clearly wanted to highlight his Showcase Mode as a major selling point for the game. They also probably wanted to honour a legend by giving him the box art, but it makes sense to believe someone else will get it next year.

Most fans out there have cherry-picked three candidates.

Roman Reigns tops most lists, mainly because of his star power and lengthy Undisputed Title reign. Then, there's Cody Rhodes. He'd grab some headlines due to AEW's Fight Forever game also being on the market, but Cody is unlikely if he's going to be used as a pre-order bonus that some won't be able to play as immediately.

The final guess is one Bianca Belair. WWE's 'EST' has caught fire to become one of the best female workers on the planet, and she's a great ambassador for the company outside the ring too. It'd be cool to see 2K reward that with a cover spot.
