'WWE 2K17' Roster News, Rumors: Character Selections, Debuting Superstars, Chyna to Be Honored in Event

With its reported arrival later this year, the "WWE 2K17" revamped roster has become the subject of rumors. Character selections are said to include Brie Bella, who had been retired from WWE Entertainment in the last WrestleMania 32. Others reportedly making the roster are Bray Wyatt and Alundra Blayze. Fans can also expect Sasha Banks, Charlotte, Becky Lynch, as well as Bayley.

Bella had been scanned by the 2K developers because, as Sandeep Girl, the WWE 2K developer, pointed out, the Total Divas for the WWE 2K17 game had not been changed. Bella will continue to figure in the WWE events until her career is officially declared over, which means that the Divas are still expecting to arrange an event that would declare Bella's official retirement, complete with photo ops and a Q&A panel, as things are done on the WWE.

Superstars will also be making the roster for the upcoming WWE event. One of those will be a Wyatt family member, Braun Strowman. He is reportedly not the best as he is still learning the ropes, but he had recently made his debut in RAW by going for Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns in August. He had not made it to the WWE 2K18 because his attack on Ambrose and Reigns came after the roster had already been made out. He is thought to make a useful set of muscles for tag or the royal rumble.
