2K Sports have yet to released the official WWE 2K15 roster, but GameFAQs reportedly obtained a leaked roster, showing 92 wrestling stars who are expected to be in the upcoming video game.
And the good news to those who are eagerly anticipating the release of the upcoming wrestling game, superstar CM Punk will allegedly be a playable character along with WWE legend Mick Foley, who will appear as Mankind in the next iteration of the series.
CM Punk's inclusion in WWE 2K15 was in serious doubt after his contract expired, but WhatCulture noted that there is still a possibility that the superstar will indeed appear in the game similar to what happened in 1998 when the game WWF Warzone was released.
"There was a situation in 1998′s WWF Warzone video game where Bret Hart was on the roster, despite having debuted in WCW sixth months previous. Perhaps Punk will be retained in a similar way, offering a final opportunity for 2K and WWE to exploit his star power," WhatCulture noted.
Mankind's inclusion was a huge surprise, considering the fact that Mick Foley previously blasted WWE for their unreasonable offer and refused to accept the WWE legends deal. A deal may have been reached just for this year's game, but analysts are convinced that it is highly unlikely based on Foley's refusal earlier this year.
The leaked roster also include classic versions of superstars like Randy Orton, Big Show, Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Kane, The Rock, Triple H, and Undertaker.
Several NXT wrestlers are also in the game, confirming previous reports. Surprisingly, Ryback, who is still appearing on television weekly, was not on the list.
