While the newWWE 2K22screenshots for Becky Lynch, Rey Mysterio, and Sasha Banks feature them doing their entrances, the one withJohn Cenaand The Rock shows the two facing off in the ring. This is a likely callback to the rivalry that the two had over the course of WrestleMania 27, 28, and 29, where The Rock cost John Cena his match with The Miz at WrestleMania 27, The Rock defeated Cena at WrestleMania 28, and then Cena managed to beat The Rock at WrestleMania 29.
Besides showing off how the WWE superstars will look inWWE 2K22, the developers also released a screenshot of theMyGM modein action. For the uninitiated, MyGM is the long-awaited return of General Manager mode, a popular feature that has been missing from WWE video games for well over a decade now. In this mode, players will have to play matchmaker, putting together cards and having to take into account the cost of matches and more.
Now thatWWE 2K22fans have new screenshots to look at, the reveal of the Deluxe Edition andnWo 4-Life Edition, Rey Mysterio confirmed as the cover star, and the release date, the only thing to wait for now is a full rundown of the roster. There’s still a couple of months between now and whenWWE 2K22launches, so fans shouldn’t have to wait all that much longer to find out about everyone that will be featured on the final roster.
It’s also quite likely that moreWWE 2K22gameplay footagewill be shown between now and launch, but fans will have to stay tuned on that front.
