Changes have arrived in this year’s superstar wrestling series as WWE 2K20 sees a big shift in the standard playable roster.
This is the first time the series will allow women in the MyCareer mode, and this year sees both a man and a woman as co-cover stars.
In keeping with that theme, the single-player 2K Showcase campaign now revolves around the rise of the Four Horsewomen, with documentary vignettes and objective-based gameplay for cover superstar Becky Lynch.
Aside from female wrestlers in the story mode, the full game will include a cross-section of legends, Hall of Famers, and the return of Hulk Hogan, who has been noticeably missing from the series since 2015.
Wondering who else will be available to play at launch in the standard or deluxe editions? We’ve got all the details on every playable character for WWE 2K20 below.
Confirmed WWE 2K20 Roster
Only 18 wrestlers have been confirmed by 2K Games so far, so the table below may look a little sparse for the next few weeks.
Including DLC, the last game had a whopping 200 wrestlers, so many more playable characters are expected to be revealed through the game’s October release. Make sure to check back often as we update this list with new names!
Note that the number of total playable characters is boosted by variations for some wrestlers, like the Rock ‘N Sock version of Mankind. Only a small handful of these variants have been announced as of this writing, but we’ll get that part of the table updated as gameplay footage comes online showing off different character versions.
