This week's reveal has mixed a number of legends, semi-active stars like Triple H, and current wrestlers. Speculations have emerged that former UFC champ, Brock "Beast Incarnate" Lesnar, will be making his way to the roster soon.

Owing to controversial racist language he was heard to have said in tapes that surfaced recently, wrestling legend Hulk Hogan has been omitted from the 2K16 roster. However, Arnold Schwarzenegger will be making an appearance as The Terminator.
To make up for the limited modes featured in last year's title due to the game's engine upgrade, "WWE 2K16" will be bringing back My Career and the 2K Showcase. The developers have also expanded the Creation Suite.
"WWE 2K16" is expected to launch for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Xbox 360 on October 27 in North America, and on October 30 for the rest of the world. Players who pre-order the game will also receive two playable versions of The Terminator, as played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie franchise.
