The game also features notable crossover talent from other promotions like TNA Wrestling. Joe Hendry and Jordynne Grace are playable characters in the base game.
The developers also made sure to include key figures who operate outside of the ropes. Managers like Paul Heyman, Miss Elizabeth, Paul Bearer, and Bobby Heenan are available to accompany talent to the ring.
The game even features playable announcer models for Booker T and Wade Barrett. Key referees like Charles Robinson, Jessika Carr, and Dan Engler are present to officiate the contests.

That show is set for February 28 at the United Center in Chicago. The event features CM Punk defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Balor, while AJ Lee challenges Becky Lynch for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship.
