WWE 2K24 Superstar Ratings: 10 Biggest Surprises & Snubs
2. Surprise - Rhea Ripley (96)
Let's move on to more pleasant things! If "pleasant" is indeed the right word to describe WWE's most intimidating star.
Rhea's phenomenal rating is a surprise not because she doesn't deserve it - she most certainly does - but because, as alluded to in the R-Truth entry, WWE2k23 did her dirty. Fortunately, this time round common sense prevailed and Dom's Mami has received a rating that accurately reflects her megastar status.
Rhea's rating is also a tad surprising in that it's higher than Ripley's fellow cover star Bianca Belair (95), but on reflection it's an accurate indication of their current status. Belair was unquestionably the biggest star in the WWE's women division at the start of 2023, but as the year progressed the EST's shine faded a little. Ripley, meanwhile, underwent a meteoric ascent after dethroning Charlotte Flair in a match for the ages at WrestleMania.
Having said that, there's no doubt that Rhea and Bianca both deserve their astronomically high ratings. It's nice to see 2K Games giving due respect to two of WWE2K24's cover stars...
