The WWE 2K24 roster expanded in October with a surprise new version of the wrestling sim. The Bray Wyatt Edition ofWWE 2K24adds two fresh guises for the Eater Of Worlds, alongside an updated Uncle Howdy – with a more realistic Bo Dallas likeness. Below we bring together every playable wrestler and faction in your comprehensive WWE 2K24 roster guide.
AJ Styles & Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows & Michin
Former LA Rams cheerleader Sydney Zmrzel has had an intriguing WWE run. She debuted as valet to Von Wagner under the name Sofia Cromwell. A change to Maxxine Dupri followed as she was paired with now-departed tag-team MNM, before a surprise face turn to join Alpha Academy.
The Mixed Match Challenge, pairing male and female wrestlers for tag bouts, may be long forgotten – but Bliss and Braun were a major highlight. Their ‘little-and-large’ chemistry was repeated in more traditional fashion as Strowman buddied up with Ricochet last year.
We got a tease of popular NXT faction Chase U when its leader, Andre Chase, arrived as WWE 2K23 DLC, but there was no such digital graduation for Thea Hail or Duke Hudson. After a prominent year on NXT that changes in WWE 2K24, with the male pair having claimed tag-team title gold.
Four yesteryear legends were confirmed in one hit ahead of this year’s Royal Rumble, before being joined by Race. They’re all familiar inclusions in the series, with a new twist for WWE 2K24: each plays a role in the new 40 Years of WrestleMania mode.
Santos Escobar made Legado del Fantasma the most watchable faction on NXT, which meant his turn on partners Cruz del Toro and Joaquin Wilde was all the more shocking. He’s now reformed the stable with the gents formerly known as Los Lotharios. Alas, valet Elektra Lopez doesn’t make the cut – instead grab her from ourWWE 2K24 CAWsguide.
It didn’t last long thanks to Karrion Kross, but the Street Profits' brief heel run alongside Bobby Lashley proved staggeringly entertaining. The shock turn saw both Dawkins and Ford get immaculate glows-up, and display nefarious sides we never knew they had. There’s plenty of scope for those personas to be revisited in WWE 2K24, should you wish.
WWE 2K23 DLC competitor Top Dolla may by gone, but his Hit Row band-mate Ashante Adonis is back, along with brief tag partner Alexander. His previous success came alongside MVP in Hurt Business – but Shelton Benjamin is sadly no longer with the company. You could, however, reform the troupe using MVP’s more recent client, Omos.
Asuka, Kairi Sane and Io Sky make for a strong Japanese contingent in current-day WWE, and there were hopes of seeing them joined by experienced campaigner Meiko Satomura. She held the NXT UK Championship for an astonishing 451 days, and astonishingly also made sporadic appearances for WCW back in the late 1990s! However, it wasn’t to be.
NXT’s pair of supreme high flyers are long overdue a main roster call-up. They’ve put on spectacular matches against one another, and also worked brilliantly as a duo against the likes of Chase U. WWE has been seeking a masked successor to Rey Mysterio for years. It’s time the brilliant Axiom was given a shot at the gig.
Stunner! Just when it looked like Bad Bunny and Logan Paul were going to be the biggest celebrity names in the game, 2K announced that boxing’s greatest of all time, Muhammad Ali, is a brand new addition to the series. Ali was special guest referee for the main event of the very first WrestleMania.
Evolution was the most powerful stable of the early 2000s, and WWE 2K24 enables you to unite three quarters of the faction, to add to their two tag titles and host of world championships. Alas, Ric Flair is not along for the ride.
Kairi Sane was last seen in WWE 2K20, which formed her second series appearance after 2K19. Following a two-year absence she returned at Crown Jewel to assist countrywoman Iyo Sky, which set her up for a WWE 2K24 appearance – although it turned out to be as DLC. Damage Control members Bayley and Dakota Kai are at least in.
Most fans expected Phoenix to be axed this year, after husband Edge departed for AEW – and exited the series as a result. But pleasingly she’s back, along with three-time Divas champ Torres, and groundbreaking high-flyer Lita – who famously also once dated The Rated R Superstar. Lita gets a long-overdue new model this year.
Three members of the expanded Hart Foundation feature in WWE 2K24, along with Jim Neidhart’s daughter Natalya. There’s hope for the future, too. With Brian Pillman’s son Lexis King now in NXT, we may see the Harts' wildest ally make a shock series appearance alongside his offspring come WWE 2K25.
Remember the NXT UK Tag-Team Championships? Gallus and Pretty Deadly are among the names to have held them, but it was the American pair of Briggs and Jensen who enjoyed the final reign. They’re now established members of the NXT’s Stateside roster, and deserve their videogame debut.
The Brawling Brutes may be over, but WWE 2K24 enables you to reunite them for one last hurrah – and add Butch’s ‘New Catch Republic’ tag partner Tyler Bate into the bargain. Fellow Brit veteran Wade Barrett is upgraded from DLC to the main roster, too.
Yessss! All three faces of Mick Foley are back in the series, after we were limited to Cactus Jack alone in WWE 2K23. Why have we paired him with Vader here? Because it was during a match contested between the two back in 1994 that Foley got caught up in the ropes, and lost half his ear.
A bunch of Raw superstars connected to Johnny Gargano here. Candice LeRae is his wife, while Dexter Lumis and Indi Hartwell combined with that pair to form celebrated NXT faction The Way. Ciampa, meanwhile, was recently reunited with the babyfaced one as fan-favourite tandem DIY.
What do this unlikely quintet have in common? They’re all former 24/7 Championship holders – yes, even Kane, who held the belt under his real-life alias of Mayor Glenn Jacobs. Scrypts, meanwhile, was known as Reggie. R-Truth scored the most overall reigns, with 53.
The tandem known as The Family claimed NXT’s tag-team championships last July, but you couldn’t emulate this feat in WWE 2K23. Tony D’Angelo made that game as DLC, but there was no spot for his tag partner Stacks. Instead they’re finally paired together in WWE 2K24.
We’ve covered Triple H as part of Evolution, and his DX bandmates Chyna, Shawn Michaels and X-Pac are also part of the WWE 2K24 roster. Sadly they won’t be joined by Billy Gunn, as these days he’s contracted to rival company AEW.
Rhodes is the WWE 2K24 cover star, and those who pre-order get playable version of three of his alternative gimmicks: ‘Undashing’ Cody, ‘Mattel’ Cody, and Stardust. Dad Dasty and legend Superstar Billy Graham come as part of the same DLC.
The NXT women’s roster is always intriguing, as it teases those ladies who may be called up to Raw or Smackdown in the year ahead. Jade and Dolin were the first two revealed, and former partners Roxanne Perez and Jacy Jayne are back for more too.
The Judgment Day faction got its own entrance in WWE 2K23, and expanded to include Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh following the game’s release. Three members were confirmed ahead of the Royal Rumble, and we now know they’re all in. Although these days Ripley and Priest are at war with their former friends…
The Olympic gold medallist most definitely does not suck, but even after two decades it’s fun to hear live audiences proclaiming otherwise. This pair have their brilliant match from WrestleMania 20 recreated in Showcase of the Immortals mode.
Smackdown heels Pretty Deadly and Stratton debuted together as theWWE 2K23 DLCPretty Sweet Pack, and they’re on the roster from the outset this year. Sadly, not all last year’s add-ons return, however, with no place for Zeus or Top Dolla.
The NWO is back for another year, giving you to chance to establish feuds with DX or Evolution, or simply run roughshod over the roster just as they did with late-‘90s WCW. This is icon Hogan’s ninth appearance in the WWE Smackdown/2K series.
In a word: Damn. Oh, you need more? Fair enough. As the APA, these two powered through the tag ranks in the early noughties, enjoying three different title reigns. The former Bradshaw then reinvented himself as money obsessed JBL, and famously dethroned Eddie Guerrero for a shock WWE Championship run.
With Vinci and Kaiser both showing plenty of individual talent, 2K24 is Imperium’s last hurrah as a trio. They’re going out on a high – the pair played a key role in Gunther’s dominant Intercontinental Championship reign, which was finally ended by Sami Zayn after 666 days.
As well as earning a pinfall victory over The Rock, Shane ‘Hurricane’ Helms expanded his spoof super-hero act over the years with two ace female partners: ‘Mighty’ Molly Holly and ‘Super’ Stacy Keibler. 2K24 sees both standard Holly and her Mighty persona included. While we only get Keibler’s normal gimmick, you can bet there’ll be a ‘Super’ alternate attire on Community Creations soon enough.
There was no place on theWWE 2K23 tag team entranceslist for Indus Sher, although two of its members – Jinder Mahal and Veer Mahaan – could be grouped together manually. WWE 2K24 finally provides the chance to complete the trio with series newcomer Sanga.
What do you do when you sign Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s daughter? Promote her in a way that mostly ignores that illustrious heritage, apparently. Despite that curious decision, Ava gradually made a name for herself in NXT alongside Joe Gacy – although weirdly she misses out on the on-disc roster. Shame.
Scottish wrestler Noam Dar returned for WWE 2K23 after a curious absence from 2K22, and had a big year on NXT – forming his own Meta-Four faction with Jackson, Legend and Mensah. It’s therefore a shock that his team members miss out, even asWWE 2K24 DLC. Jackson offers great potential, while Legend has been on our screens for two years
The second batch of matches confirmed for Showcase mode include Steamboat’s classic tilt with Randy Savage at WrestleMania 3, and Rick Rude’s contest with Ultimate Warrior from WrestleMania 5 – one of the few bouts Warrior lost during his WWF career.
RVD! RVD! The longstanding ECW favourite scores another series appearance despite recently wrestling Swerve Strickland and Jack Perry in rival organisation AEW. Rumour has it that this is the last of a three-year deal with 2K, so make the most of his Five-Star Frog Splash while you can.
With controversy brewing around former owner Vince McMahon, this will be the first series entry since WWE 2K16 in which he won’t feature as a playable character. That leaves son Shane and daughter Stephanie – real-life wife of company CCO Triple H – to represent the family name.
Austin has three bouts in 40 Years of WrestleMania mode, beginning with his submission match with Bret Hart at WrestleMania 13. Once you’re done with those, feel free to enact dream ‘greatest of all time’ contests with Hulk Hogan or John Cena.
‘Million Dollar Man’ Ted DiBiase is a series mainstay these days, and rightly so given his past as one of WWE’s greatest heels. Money Inc tag partner IRS, however, has never appeared in a 2K console game. His inclusion in WWE Supercard suggests that may change in any upcoming entry.
The Samoan Bulldozer passed away in 2009, at just 36 years old – and wrestling lost one of its most underrated monster heels. There’s a strong family connection here. Umaga was uncle to The Usos and Solo Sikoa, and cousin of Yokozuna and Roman Reigns.
After making WWE 2K23 as DLC, Choo makes the step up to main-disc roster status for 2K24 – but there are some glaring omissions among her NXT friends and foes. Lola Vice, Kelani Jordan and Sol Ruca can all feel a little hard done by to miss out.
