E3 2016: Sasha Banks, Ultimate Warrior and… JOHN CENA Are Confirmed For ‘WWE 2K17’

Immediately righting one of the biggest wrongs of last year’s WWE 2K16, Sasha Banks has been confirmed as being part of the roster in the upcoming WWE 2K17 via painting!

After a slew of criticism was leveled at the previous game for not including the fan favorite “Four Horsewomen,” including Sasha, Becky Lynch, Charlotte and Bayley, despite having the biggest NXT roster of developmental Superstars to date, being in the midst of the company’s “Diva’s Revolution” reboot of their floundering women’s division didn’t help matters much. After the controversy of inconcequential characters like Blake and Murphy getting in ahead of the most popular women in the company,  it’s good to see that the developers are quick to ease any leftover concerns their fans might have. Plus, if Sasha is confirmed, it won’t be long before the other three girls are too.

While not as surprising, The Ultimate Warrior and John Cena were both confirmed at the 2K booth as well, with longtime WWE artist, Rob Schamberger, painting their images live as what has to be one of the most creative reveals we’ve ever seen. Not bad at all considering you’re working while surrounded by tens of thousands of people!

Who else do you hope makes the cut in the upcoming wrestling title? With legends like Goldberg on their way, it doesn’t look like anyone is off the table.
