2K might've just changed how Royal Rumbles in WWE video games work forever.

2K has tweaked the AI logic in their upcoming WWE 2K23 video game, and it could change how Royal Rumble matches play out forever.

Users on Reddit shared some gameplay that showed Roman Reigns and Jimmy Uso refusing to attack one another even though they were the only two men involved in the Rumble match. Then, when Jey Uso came out as the next entrant in the match, all three characters decided to pose on the turnbuckles rather than fight.

This little change has a lot of folks excited for the new game, because it shows that 2K is paying attention to even the smallest of details. Roman and The Usos are allies in The Bloodline, so why would they scrap when they don't have to?

Apparently, the AI switches a bit later in the Rumble. So, for example, if Jimmy and Jey were the only two men left in the match, they'd lock horns and try to win. However, earlier in the bout, they'll actively work together to eliminate other wrestlers.

AI has needed some attention for a while now, so it's great to see 2K get on top of things ahead of 2K23's release next week.
