WWE 2K20 Roster Analysis

Chyna

WWE 2K20 features a large contingent of wrestlers making either returns to or debuts in a WWE video game, and Chyna falls into the former group.

The late WWE Hall of Famer hadn't been part of a WWE video game since 2000, but those who buy the Deluxe or Collector's edition can play as the Ninth Wonder of the World.

Chyna was one of the Attitude Era's biggest stars on a level similar to "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple H, Mankind and The Undertaker, and it is long overdue that gamers get a chance to utilize her in a WWE 2K game.

Hulk Hogan

It has been five years since Hulk Hogan was last featured in a WWE 2K video game, but The Immortal One will make his return in WWE 2K20.

Like Chyna, Hogan is available to those who buy the Deluxe or Collector's editions of the game, and he figures to be among the most widely used characters in WWE 2K20.

Since WWE 2K20 has a wide-ranging selection of new and old Superstars, Hogan is the perfect character to use in Legend vs. Legend matches, as well as dream matches against stars such as Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman.

'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt

Few characters in recent memory have captured the imagination of the WWE Universe as much as "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt.

The Fiend is part of the WWE 2K20 Originals: Bump in the Night pack, which can be secured either through pre-ordering WWE 2K20 or via a separate purchase for $14.99.

It can be argued that The Fiend already has one of the best entrances in WWE history, and fans will undoubtedly be eager to see how well WWE 2K20 has captured it. Also, The Fiend's involvement in the Bump in the Night story mode should add a layer of replayability to the game.

Matt Riddle

Among the Superstars making their video game debuts in WWE 2K20 is Matt Riddle, who has quickly developed into one of NXT's biggest stars.

The King of Bros has a cool, laid-back personality that shows in his entrance, but once the bell rings, there are few people in WWE who are more aggressive and lethal given his MMA background.

Riddle has often talked about his desire to face the like of Brock Lesnar and Goldberg in real life, and gamers can make it happen virtually in WWE 2K20.

Io Shirai

Io Shirai is also making her video game debut in WWE 2K20, which will give gamers the opportunity to test out The Genius of the Sky's aerial skill set.

Even though she has gone from a beloved babyface to a heel, Shirai still leaves fans in awe when she breaks out her patented moonsault in NXT.

In addition to having Shirai facing some of WWE's female Superstars, a dream match between Shirai and WWE Hall of Famer Lita could tear down the house in WWE 2K20.
