WWE 2K17: Every Confirmed Wrestler on the Roster

[Updated on September 21: Click here to jump ahead to the latest additions]

Including DLC, WWE 2K16 boasted a roster of over 150 different playable wrestlers. DLC aside, it contained over 120 original characters, without duplicates in different skins. Considering that 2K Sports continues to raise the bar since taking over the WWE license, WWE 2K17 should have a massive roster.

While the full roster has yet to be revealed, we will continue to update you with reveals up until the October 11 release of the game. There are a few reports and assumptions of who will be in the game, but we're only delivering characters who have been confirmed. Here's who is in the game, in the order of which they were announced.

The first character revealed for this year's installment of the game was WCW legend, Goldberg. The only way to get him at launch is to pre-order the game. There will be two versions of the character, based on his WCW and WWE appearances.

Available at launch through pre-order.

During a phone conference, Paul Heyman revealed that "The Beast Incarnate," Brock Lesnar, would be on the cover of this year's game, which means he's also a playable character as well.
