Will ‘The Nature Boy’ Ric Flair Feature in the Eagerly Awaited WWE 2K22?

Published 01/21/2022, 1:23 PM EST

The letting go of nearly 60+ superstars has definitely made WWE’s roster smaller. The released wrestlers include some of the biggest names of the industry, which have shocked fans and wrestlers alike. The promotion together with 2K studio has once again worked out a brand new video game title in WWE 2K22.

However, with the recent releases of superstars like Aleister Black, aka Malakai Black, Braun Strowman, Bray Wyatt, Big Show, The Good Brothers, and more, fans continue to ponder how this will impact the next title with a dozen names and fan favorites missing from the active roster.

Veteran wrestler Ric Flair also saw his relationship become sour with the promotion. Last year in March, WWE confirmed Flair’s release, but it looks like the superstar will still remain in the next 2K game.

Ric Flair, Bray Wyatt, and More will be featured in WWE 2K22

WWE has made significant changes to its roster since the beginning of 2021, releasing many superstars, while some major names like Adam Cole, Daniel Bryan, and more parted ways with the promotion. It is being speculated that WWE tried to have the released superstars removed from the roster, but sadly, it was too late to make any changes.

According to a report by TheSportster, Bray Wyatt, Ruby Soho, and Adam Cole will still be featured in the game. With exception of Bray, the other two wrestlers have joined hands with the rival in AEW. Cole left the promotion on a positive note, while the same cannot be said for the other two. It is unlikely that fans will ever get to see them in future games, as they have signed a multi-year contract with the rival promotion.
