WWE 2K23: Five options for the game's cover star

WWE 2K23 has been officially confirmed and it will likely be released next year, but who could be the cover star of the latest iteration of the franchise? The company has a number of huge names to choose from, with Brock Lesnar, AJ Styles, Roman Reigns and Becky Lynch all being featured in prior years.

The game’s existence was revealed in a recent earnings call from Take-Two, the publisher of the 2K series.

It will follow hot on the heels of WWE 2K22, which was a real success, both in terms of sales and critical reception from fans and reviewers alike.

2K22 was a marked step up from WWE 2K20, and we’re hoping that the new game will continue that trajectory.

With that in mind, we’ve taken a look at five superstars who could grace the cover of the new game, after 2K22 was headlined by Rey Mysterio or the NWO with Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, depending on which edition you purchased.

This is the obvious one.

He’s made the move from AEW and was even involved in the company’s first five-star match since CM Punk wrestled John Cena, against Seth Rollins.

It would be a statement to put him on the cover, especially after WWE managed to convince him to return from their biggest rival.

He’s likely to be one of the highest-rated wrestlers in the game, so it wouldn’t surprise us at all to see Cody’s face on the cover.

The Tribal Chief.

2K could choose to acknowledge Roman by getting him on the front cover, potentially flanked by his Bloodline partners the Usos, and even Paul Heyman.

Roman is the top guy in WWE, so making him the cover star would be a sensible choice.

He was on the cover of 2K20 alongside Becky Lynch, but it’s best not to remember that title!
