The bulk of the roster for the upcoming WWE 2K14 game has been released, and as expected the roster reflects the new 30 Years of Wrestlemania mode. The roster is a good mix of classic wrestlers, retro outfits for current wrestlers, and the current generation of grapplers who populate the WWE.
An important note on the roster, however, is that the roster released here reflects wrestlers who appear in the single-player experience according to IGN, so more wrestlers could be confirmed for the game as extras or DLC. The full list of confirmed wrestlers appearing in the game can be seen on the game's official website.
Several WWE Legends will be appearing in the game, including some of the best and most iconic men and women who laced up their boots in the company. Andre the Giant, Big John Studd, Bret Hart, Diesel (aka Kevin Nash), Goldberg, Hulk Hogan (both in Hulkamania and Hollywood personas), King Kong Bundy, Mick Foley (no word on which personas Foley will have), Macho Man Randy Savage, Razor Ramon, Ricky Steamboat, Sergeant Slaughter. Stone Cold Steve Austin, Ted DiBiase, Ultimate Warrior, and Yokozuna are all confirmed for the game so far.
Some other legendary wrestlers, as well as some of the veteran wrestlers still active on the roster, will appear in both their current and retro outfits. Big Show, Brock Lesnar, Chris Jericho, John Cena, Kane, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, The Rock, Triple H, and The Undertaker will have multiple character skins for use in the game to reflect that point in their careers.
The final list of wrestlers confirmed for the game are wrestlers who are either active wrestlers on the roster who do not have a retro outfit available, or recently retired wrestlers who nevertheless are a big part of modern wrestling. Alberto Del Rio, Batista, Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, Darren Young, Dolph Ziggler, Edge, JBL, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, and Ryback fills this group of wrestlers who will be apart of the game's single-player mode.
While this list is full of big names, the current WWE roster is not very well represented here. The roster page on the WWE 2K14 website has eight slots still available to be filled, so gamers should expect more news about either current or former WWE wrestlers appearing in the game in the near future. Most notably, there's very little news on current or former WWE Divas appearing in the game, and many undercard wrestlers have been left out thus far. Some wrestlers currently unannounced for the game include Darren Young's tag-team partner Titus O'Neil, Money in the Bank winner Damien Sandow, and Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel.
