As the launch of WWE 2K22 grows near, the studio behind the game is slowly revealing who will be on the roster and what their ratings will be. A hot topic of conversation for those planning to play the game that we haven't been able to have for more than two years. There's a roster page on WWE 2K's site, and some of the Superstars confirmed now have ratings attached.
An Extra Point For Brock Lesnar
Brock Lesnar hasn't made it onto the official roster page yet, but it has been revealed on Twitter that The Beast will be in the game. In fairness, it would have been a little odd if he didn't make the cut. 2K has also decided Lesnar is a little better than he was in 2019. His rating has been increased from 93 to 94.
With a score of 93, Lesnar was the highest-rated wrestler in WWE 2K20. Even though the entire roster hasn't been revealed yet, it has already been confirmed that won't be the case in WWE 2K22 despite Lesnar's extra point. Roman Reigns has also been confirmed as a playable character in the game launching next month, and he has been awarded an incredibly impressive 95 rating.
The Big Dog's Big Rating
In fairness, the last time Reigns and Lesnar clashed, The Big Dog won. It was a close-run thing so it makes sense that he has a slightly higher rating. Perhaps if this year's game has live ratings that are updated depending on real life performances in the ring, Lesnar can match Reigns's rating if he manages to beat him for the Universal Title at WrestleMania.
There are a few wrestlers nipping at the heels of Lesnar and Reigns' ratings, but no one has managed to match them yet. Hulk Hogan with a 92, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre are 91-rated, and a handful of wrestlers past and present have been slapped with 90 ratings. The reveals will continue, and there's a chance someone else breathes the rarified air Lesnar and Reigns are currently inhaling. Stone Cold, John Cena, and perhaps even Ronda Rousey are among the contenders.
