The weekly roster reveals may be over, but that doesn’t mean new WWE 2K16 info has dried up, as folks tinkering with the pre-release version of the game have leaked some interesting tidbits. First up, we have the overall rankings for a number of the game’s wrestlers.
John Cena: 95, Brock Lesnar: 94, Daniel Bryan: 92, Seth Rollins: 92, Kevin Owens: 91, Sheamus: 90, Cesaro: 88, Rusev: 88, Finn Balor: 88, Sami Zayn: 87, Neville: 86, Dolph Ziggler: 86, Bad News Barrett: 86, Stardust: 86, Ryback: 86, Luke Harper: 86, Hideo Itami: 85, The Miz: 84, Damien Mizdow: 84, Sin Cara: 84, Tyson Kidd: 84, Curtis Axel: 83, Kalisto: 83, Colin Cassady: 82, Baron Corbin: 81, Enzo Amore: 80, Simon Gotch: 80, Aiden English: 80
Gotta love how seemingly nobody is allowed to be lower than an 80. Just the for the hell of it, they should make Zack Ryder, like, a 20. Speaking of which, LOL at Bad News Barrett with an 86. Also, Miz and Damien Sandow are tied at 84, so obviously these rankings were decided on a few months ago. Still, it’s nice to see that the NXT guys have fairly competitive rankings for the most part.
Also leaked are most of the matches you’ll play through as part of the Stone Cold 2K Showcase mode.
1) vs. Pillman – Clash of the Champions XXV
2) vs. Steamboat – Bash at the Beach ’94
3) vs. Whipwreck – November to Remember ’95
4) vs. Savio Vega – WrestleMania XII or In Your House: Beware of Dog
5) vs. Roberts – King of the Ring ’96
6) vs. Hart – Survivor Series ’96 (Bret’s attire)
7) vs. Vader vs. Hart vs. Undertaker – In Your House: Final Four
8) vs. Hart – WrestleMania 13 (likely reason for Shamrock’s inclusion)
9) vs. Rock – D-Generation X: In Your House
10) vs. Michaels – WrestleMania XIV
11) vs. Undertaker – Rock Bottom ’98
12) vs. McMahon – St. Valentine’s Day Massacre ’99
13) vs. Rock – WrestleMania 15
14) vs. Rock – Backlash ’99
15) vs. Undertaker – Fully Loaded ’99
16) Royal Rumble 2001
17) vs. Triple H – No Way Out 2001
18) vs. Rock – WrestleMania X-SEVEN
This isn’t all the matches, but it’s most of ’em. Things get unavoidably a little Rock-heavy in the back end, but I kind of love that we’re getting faithfully recreated Brian Pillman and Mikey Whipwreck matches in a 2015 video game.
While we’re at it, here’s a couple more 2K16 gameplay videos. We have a Dean Ambrose vs. Bray Wyatt match, and look at some of the sneaky things managers can get up to in the game.
WWE 2K16 comes out in less than a month on October 27.
