Highlights

  • The WWE 2K24 roster reveal has been chaotic due to the Vince McMahon lawsuit and missing wrestlers.
  • Drew McIntyre's absence from WWE 2K24 roster list has caused confusion, but reports indicate he will still be featured in the game.
  • Other important wrestlers, like Kurt Angle and CM Punk, are missing from the WWE 2K24 roster.

Most years, the roster reveal for a WWE game is an exciting time, but the WWE 2K24 roster reveal has been chaotic and controversial. Details of a lawsuit accusing ex-WWE boss Vince McMahon of sex trafficking and abuse went public mere days before WWE 2K24 was announced, casting this year's wrestling game in a dark shadow that has already had an impact on the game's content.

WWE 2K24 did not address the Vince McMahon situation in ithe immediate aftermath, but when Brock Lesnar was implicated in the same lawsuit, it did scrub the former WWE Champion from the cover of the game's 40 Years of WrestleMania Edition. Since then, fans have been waiting to hear if Lesnar would be removed from the roster, as he was from the WWE SuperCard mobile game. The official WWE 2K24 full roster reveal seemingly confirmed Lesnar's absence from the game.

This year's WWE 2K instalment celebrates 40 years of Wrestlemania. Here are all the editions and pre-order bonuses available to purchase.

It was later confirmed that neither Brock Lesnar nor Vince McMahon would be featured as playable characters in WWE 2K24, though that wording leaves the door open for them to still appear in the game in another capacity. Many have assumed that Lesnar was supposed to be featured in some of WWE 2K24's Showcase matches, and as it stands, three of those still have yet to be announced. Vince McMahon, meanwhile, played a major role in the conclusion of the Steve Austin vs. The Rock match from WrestleMania 17 that has already been announced for the Showcase. It's possible the ending will be tweaked to remove mention of McMahon, but that has yet to be clarified. Regardless if Lesnar or McMahon are featured in Showcase, neither will be actually playable in the game.

The Brock Lesnar/Vince McMahon situation is one reason why the WWE 2K24 roster reveal has been chaotic, but there have been other issues as well. The WWE 2K24 full roster list is currently missing WWE superstar and former world champion Drew McIntyre, even though he's been presented as one of the company's top performers for years.

Drew McIntyre already has a rating in WWE 2K24, with an announced 89 overall. McIntyre's 89 overall rating was revealed shortly before the full roster list was sent out, making his absence from it all the more confusing. However, it's been said the roster list will be updated and McIntyre will be in the game.

McIntyre isn't the only head-scratching exclusion when it comes to the WWE 2K24 roster list. Even though the WrestleMania 20 match between Eddie Guerrero and Kurt Angle is in the WWE 2K24 Showcase mode, Angle himself is apparently not part of the roster. Add in the fact that CM Punk is nowhere to be seen despite the fact that he's been back with the company since November of last year, and it seems that one of WWE 2K24's biggest roadblocks is its own roster. Hopefully WWE fans get more clarification about the missing wrestlers before the game's early access launch on March 5.
