The WWE 2K22 roster is now complete as of the game’s March 11th release date. So far it’s looking like an impressive showing, and with new DLC characters on the way, the sky’s the limit with this new revolution to the series. WWE 2K22’s roster will feature a large number of male and female superstars from Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and NXT UK, in addition to WWE Legends and other notable characters.
It’s that time of year again, as WWE 2K is returning from sabbatical for WWE 2K22. This year’s game includes an odd lineup, especially considering several wrestlers in the game are not even with the business anymore. Still, the roster is stocked with current WWE performers, as well as previous ones and some legends.
How to unlock all wrestlers in WWE 2K22
Not all of the wrestlers in WWE 2K22 will be available right off the bat. Some need to be unlocked, and here’s how you can obtain them all:

- 2K Showcase – WWE 2K22 Showcase mode is a game mode that focuses on the career of a particular WWE superstar. Rey Mysterio is this year’s 2k Showcase WWE superstar.

Xavier Woods
A dynamic Superstar with plenty of brains Woods is far more intelligent than his off-key trombone bleating may let on. He’s damn good in the ring, too, snatching multiple WWE Tag Team Championships alongside his New Day crew of Big E and Kofi Kingston. In between earning degrees and titles, Woods has also found the time to host his own YouTube gaming channel, UpUpDownDown, which has more than two million subscribers.
At WWE Crown Jewel, Woods made history when he overcame Finn Balor to become the 2021 King of the Ring Tournament winner! All hail King Woods!
