Do you smell what The Rock is cooking?
WWE 2K23 is laying the smackdown this March, and with all the excitement comes news about the roster for this year’s game. 2K has announced a ringful of WWE Superstars headed to WWE 2K23 through its marketing drive of in-game screenshots and trailers.
2K will let you have dream matches between modern and classic stars from WWE history. For example, you can have Roman Reigns take on Macho Man Randy Savage in his prime. The 2K Showcase will see John Cena face off once again against all of his career rivals. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like his first major title opportunity, against JBL, might not be included. Fans are also expecting Bray Wyatt to arrive at some point in the future, perhaps through DLC.

If you’re interested in watching some of the entrances from the game, you can check out this latest footage, which sees Cody Rhodes‘ and Seth Rollins‘ making their way to the squared circle.
How To Unlock Bad Bunny
Unfortunately, Bad Bunny isn’t available to everyone who purchases WWE 2K23. You can unlock him by preordering the game, making him one of the harder WWE 2K23 wrestlers to unlock. Hopefully, the surprisingly talented celebrity is available for individual purchase after the launch of the game.
Additionally, there are various special editions of the game to consider if you want all of the WWE 2K23 wrestlers. The Deluxe Edition of the game will include five DLC-appointed wrestlers in the season pass, in addition to three days of early access and various MYFACTION cards. There is also the Ruthless Aggression content to consider in the Icon Edition, which has the Leviathan Batista, Throwback Randy Orton, and Throwback Brock Lesnar.
Regardless of what edition you’ll purchase, WWE 2K23 will be available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on March 17.
