Technically, Carmelo Hayes will be tied to the NXT roster when 2K23 launches, but that could quickly change. Most critics believe he'll be promoted to WWE's main roster shortly after WrestleMania 39 concludes. Shawn Michaels has been hyping him up to the media, after all.

Good times await Hayes, but what about his mate Trick Williams? He's not included on 2K23's roster, which means Carmelo will be going it alone during his matches. That's a bit of an annoying oversight from 2K, being honest. They can't have everybody, but yes.

Hayes being involved is likely the most important thing here though.
