WWE’s video game has always been of prime interest to its hardcore fans as they get a chance to play as their favorite superstars. With WWE 2k23 right around the corner, fans are gearing up for getting a more fun and fulfilling edition this time. The ratings for various superstars have been revealed over the last few days and Brock Lesnar was added to that list today. Fans didn’t take long to come up with their reactions and opinions on Twitter regarding ‘The Beast’s’ number.

The Beast Incarnate has been given a 97 rating in WWE 2k23. Though he was not as incredible in the ring as he once was, still he is considered the final boss of the WWE in many ways. In WWE 2k22, Lesnar got an overall rating of 94. Considering his rating hike this year, some fans still think he didn’t get his deserved place while some criticized The Next Big Thing for being overrated.

Though many were dissatisfied as the defeat was because Brock Lesnar ended up causing a disqualification for himself, it was still a defeat nevertheless. Referring to that part, some fans think Lashley deserves a higher rating than Brock.

A fan thought the whole ranking system is a mess.

One of the users even specifies which rank exactly the Beast Incarnate deserves.

As the ratings have already been revealed earlier, some are seemingly unhappy at the repetition and want something new.

But as there is always another side of the story, some fans think the Beast Incarnate deserves a much higher rating than this.

Some of them compare his rating to that of Roman Reigns and firmly believe that he deserves a higher rating than Roman.

Bobby Lashley came up with a cold reaction to Brock Lesnar’s higher rating

However, taking only negative opinions into consideration, it’s safe to say that the fans are not alone in expressing dissatisfaction about Lesnar’s higher rating than Lashley. It didn’t even sit well with the arch nemesis himself. Bobby Lashley, with an overall rating of 92, was seemingly unhappy with Lesnar’s rating as he came up with a bitter reply to Greg Miller of UpUpDownDown, ‘Thank you for your time.” and left immediately after giving a thumbs up when he saw the ratings for his and Lesnar’s characters.

While the annual rating of wrestlers for the WWE 2k series doesn’t wholly decide the fighters’ strength, ability, and skill at all, still it is an important parameter for the fans to know about their favorite star’s progress, current status, etc. within the company.

However, keeping the rating war aside, fans are currently gearing up for March 17, for WWE 2k23’s grand release.
