AJ Styles on his WWE 2K22 involvement

Former WWE Champion AJ Styles spoke about his involvement in WWE & 2K's latest videogame WWE 2K22.

Styles was the cover star for WWE 2K19, the last outing in the WWE 2K series to receive a positive reaction from fans, given the critical and technical failure of WWE 2K20. The reaction to the previous outing was so poor that 2K had to resort to pulling the next installment of the game, WWE 2K21, from their schedule. An arcade-style game, WWE 2K Battlegrounds was released in its place.

This year, however, the 2K series returns to its normal release schedule, with the honor of the cover being given to Rey Mysterio. With the release of the new game on the horizon, former cover star Styles has talked about his involvement with the project in a recent interview with Fightful.

Unlike WWE 2K19, Styles confirmed that his involvement with the new game was minimal, and that it amounted to little more than being scanned for motion capture.

AJ Styles is set to compete for the WWE Championship against Bobby Lashley, Brock Lesnar, Austin Theory, Seth Rollins, and Riddle at the Elimination Chamber on Saturday, February 19.
