Some gamers also tried to fight the 16-time world champion to brutal in-game consequences. With many rating the feature high, there’s a chance that WWE’s “Greatest of All Time” could make a comeback in GTA VI.

Relive iconic WrestleMania rivalry?

In modern times, one of the growing rivalries belongs to Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes. The American Nightmare is hell-bent on winning the WWE Champion, a belt that is currently worn by Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Reigns.

The two have already locked horns at WrestleMania 39 at the SoFi Stadium on April 2 of this year. An encore is heavily rumored at this moment. There are speculations that Rhodes will challenge Reigns to a rematch at WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia in the coming April.

Interestingly, GTA V allowed gamers to enjoy the rivalry. This could continue and find a place in the upcoming installment.

Execute special moves!

Nothing spells WWE and pro wrestling like a special move. Be it an RKO, an F5, or a Spine Buster, these signature maneuvers are linked to wrestlers and instantly connect the fans with the superstars.

Several of these moves are also available as part of the gameplay in the fifth series of Grand Theft Auto.

Such a cool feature is bound to be an integral part of the upcoming version. At least fans would hope so!

Spoilt for choice

Yes, this is what gamers felt as GTA V allowed them to play as several iconic WWE superstars, including Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. But The Brahma Bull wasn’t the only big-ticket pro wrestler to make the cut.

Gamers could also play as Brock Lesnar, John Cena, and Stone Cold Steve Austin in various mods. Cena, who looked realistic, also comes packed with his ‘Hustle, Loyalty, Respect’ t-shirt, which is bound to bring the smile back to the fans’ faces.

GTA Rumble

GTA V stepped up its game when it allowed gamers to play the Royal Rumble match. Yes, the developers added the cool feature with more wrestlers, such as Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins, Finn Balor, Roman Reigns, Braun Strowman, Kofi Kingston, and others.

Arguably, this would have made the dream come true for many WWE fans who also have a penchant for GTA. This feature is likely to be included in the mod of the next version. Fortunately, did you know the next version’s trailer is already out?
