One of the biggest issues with WWE’s annual video game is that it’s often already outdated by the time it gets released. For example: last year’s game was released three months after the brand split, however, the game didn’t have the new Raw and SmackDown logos, or the new championship belts.
Unfortunately, this year’s WWE game is no different, as several top stars have been left off of the roster. Of course, they could be added later as part of a DLC package, but the fact that a team like the Hardys, who returned back in April, won’t be in this year’s game on its release date — October 17 — is pretty absurd. But, that’s what everyone has come to expect with every WWE 2K game.
So, here are all the current Raw, SmackDown, 205 Live, and NXT stars who won’t be in WWE 2K18 upon release:
Raw:

As previously mentioned, some of these names like Shelton Benjamin and the Hardys will probably be added later in a DLC package.
