What the fuck? Tyler Black is in WWE? I haven't seen WWE in centuries, and just found this out. He fucking kicked ass in Ring of Honor.

I wondered if Roman would be on the cover this year, but I'm guessing they decided to avoid the possibility of people not buying the game simply because Roman's on the cover.
He's been on WWE TV since 2012, so a century is at least 5 years.

Yeah man, a lot of other Ring of Honor folks are/were in WWE. The talent is definitely there but the booking/storyline decisions are, well, spotty.

I'm all for Seth being on the cover but what the fuck is this shit?
They're making the covers look so similar. It'll be like having huge trading cards on your shelf. Is there anyone out there that owns all WWE games and prove my point?
There's no creativity which instantly puts a downer on the game for me. Nothing will beat Just bring it

Haha, well I hadn't seen WWE since....2008 or maybe 2009 I think the last match I saw was Shane vs Orton. Happened around that time, I think.
So, is Tyler being used right or what?

Rollins is a great wrestler, but why? WWE haven't used him in a meaninful way since he was forced to relinquish the world title due to a knee injury. Yeah, but this is WWE alright. They have the best roster of all time and still manages to make the worse shows they've ever produced. It became so cringy, non-sensical and disappointing that I stopped watching everything but NXT.

Where's the check box for "receive an actually good game" ?

If this was Seth Rollins from any other year I would have been down for it. But post injury guy is mainly a bore with the occasional great match.

Check back Wednesday for the Fire Pro release date.
I wonder if they feel they need to keep him a baby face for the release of this now. Dude desperately needs to go back to being heel.

I guess Switch has to prove itself in selling well in order to get a yearly WWE game....
I hope Nintendo gets Syn Sophia together and create a wrestling game.
Isn't Seth Rollins a ROH guy?

I skipped the last few games, I hate when they move to new gen and remove features from the older games. Hopefully this one will be feature packed again and worth the cash.
I like the box, at least it's not Roman on the cover.

Seth Rollins was a pretty big star on the indy circuit before coming to WWE. Brock Lesnar is, technically, more of a "created by WWE" guy than Seth is
You mean current WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar? He's the champion on Raw. The champion. The most important person. Ignore that he finally showed up after two months of disappearing with no reasons given.A big part of the problem is that WWE still relies way too much on the household names from over a decade ago instead of making new stars. Case in point, this guy was the cover guy for last year's game
If this blows your mind, just google who is on the WWE roster. Even two years ago I wouldn't believe who is in it now.
If you want a sample of how they book Seth Rollins, his most recent storyline involves him coming back from a legit injury that put him out for months... as a heel. He wins the championship about a month later, but loses it in about five minutes. He gets a rematch for a different championship, loses, though luckily he injured the person who won. He gets another championship shot, but is BETRAYED by his once trusted mentor, HHH. He literally doesn't think about this for months until one day he remembers and decides he wants revenge. Keep in mind HHH never gives a solid reason why he betrayed him. Rollins beats HHH at Wrestlemania, which should be a big deal, but they've done nothing with it at all. I have no idea what Rollins' storyline even is right now, or even if he has one.

Is it me or can you already smell shit from this game?
Oh man! That's just ruthless.
There's a video, feels more like a promo package for Orton then Seth.

The only cover injury-prone Seth Rollins can get.

He is feuding with bray Wyatt now
Here's some of the former indie darlings in WWE right now...
Kevin Steen (now Kevin Owens)
El Generico (Sami Zayn)
Tyler Black (Seth Rollins)
Jon Moxley (Dean Ambrose)
AJ Styles
Samoa Joe
Shinsuka Nakamura (he's from NJPW, but still..)
I'm glad they actually have a current, active member of the roster on the cover this time.

This game hasn't changed its features in three years. I wish for a Day of Reckoning 3.
Gameplay footage of Seth's super:
Yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
And some more:
PAC now Adrian Neville
Claudio Castagnoli (Cesaro)
Prince Devitt (Finn Balor)
Luke Gallows and Ken Anderson
Samurai Del Sol (Kalisto)
Uhaa Nation (Apollo Crews)
Pretty much the entire cruiserweight roster and half of NXT at this point.
Some amazing talent with some the worst writers.

Turn the 15 to an 18 on your cover and you already own it.
Why would you take the balaclava off after committing the crime/alarm sounds...

Should've been AJ Styles, Nakamura, and Samoa Joe.
Also, it should've been a non-Yukes developer.
