WWE 2K24 Confirms Mick Foley Alter Ego for the Roster

The WWE 2K24 roster gets another confirmation as it gives fans the first in-game look at a returning alter ego of Mick Foley.

2K revealed that Post Malone has both worked on the game's soundtrack, which it also unveiled, and signed up to be a playable character in a future DLC update. The full playlist showcases both Malone's music and his hardcore and rap influences which include Busta Rhymes, Grimes, and Turnstile, to name a few. He says he chose these to help hype the player as they get ready to wrestle as their favorite WWE Superstars or their own custom creations. "The secret to a great video game soundtrack is a little something for everyone and for every mood. It gets you excited and it gets you pumped up to play," Malone said.

What's On the Full Post Malone-Crafted WWE 2K24 Soundtrack

  • Post Malone - "Chemical," "Laugh It Off"
  • 100 gecs - "Hand Crushed By A Mallet"
  • Busta Rhymes - "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See"
  • Colter Wall - "Motorcycle"
  • Grimes - "Genesis"
  • Militarie Gun - "Do It Faster"
  • Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs - "Big Rig"
  • Speed - "Not That Nice"
  • Turnstile - "Mystery"
  • Tyler Childers - "House Fire"
  • Yeat - "Bëttr 0ff"

The game's roster is shaping up to be one that fans will love. Aside from Malone, boxing legend Muhammad Ali is also slated to join WWE 2K24. Despite being an iconic boxer, Ali was a key figure in pro wrestling, first establishing the concept of mixed martial arts with his classic bout versus legendary Japanese wrestler Antonio Inoki, then being part of the very first WrestleMania as the special guest referee in the main event.

Another major inclusion in WWE 2K24 is The Fiend, the demonic alter-ego of fan-favorite wrestler Bray Wyatt who died in August 2023. WWE fans were concerned that his death may have resulted in his absence from the game, but 2K made sure to appease them by keeping him in. The Fiend is also getting a spot in the annual Showcase Mode, which will feature his outstanding Firefly Fun House match against John Cena from WrestleMania 36.

2K is pulling out all the stops this year, and it shows as early feedback of WWE 2K24 is pretty positive. New match types have been added, while developers have touted several quality-of-life improvements. Wrestling fans will have a lot to look forward to when the game drops on March 8.
