WWE 2K19: 10 Entrances They Must Get Right

9. Seth Rollins

There's nothing particularly flashy or complex about the way Seth Rollins makes his way to the ring. The music hits, runs through its first few bars, then erupts with "BURN IT DOWN!", prompting 'The Kingslayer' to stomp out from the back, firing himself and the crowd up on the stage before swaggering down the ramp. Simple, right?

Yes, in theory, but the developers always seem to fall short with entrances like this. Capturing fire, passion, and intensity isn't easy. These things often come off robotic in 2K games, with the characters moving at least 10% slower than they would in real life, and with such traits defining Rollins' character and entrance, it's easy to see 2K making a meal of his walk-down.

Getting it right is vital. Rollins' entrance always generates great noise inside the building, with thousands of voices screaming his three-word battle cry back at him. It's natural, organic, and explosive - the antithesis of the 2K series as a whole, but if the developers get it wrong, they'll have transformed one of WWE's most popular babyfaces into a pre-personality chipped android.
