All Elite Wrestling is WWE's biggest competition right now and it looks like even Vince McMahon has taken notice. Today, we take a look at WWE video games and in particular, All Elite Wrestling stars who have been in WWE video games.

#5. Shawn Spears aka Tye Dillinger

Shawn Spears aka Tye Dillinger made his WWE 2K debut as part of the future stars pack in WWE 2K17. He went on to be a part of the WWE 2K18 and also the WWE 2K19 rosters.

Spears was released from WWE earlier this year and soon signed with All Elite Wrestling, making his debut in the Casino Battle Royale at Double or Nothing. Spears also appeared in a controversial segment at Fyter Fest last week where he came into the ring following Cody's match with Darby Allin, before hitting Cody in the head with a steel chair. The chairshot heard around the world left Cody bleeding and needing 12 stitches. It looks like he'll be feuding with Cody going forward, which is a great spot to be in.

#4. Dustin Rhodes aka Goldust

Dustin Rhodes has appeared in a number of WWE video games over his storied career. His first appearance in a WWE game came way back in 1996, as part of the roster for WWF In Your House which came out for the original Playstation, MS-DOS and the SEGA Saturn.

Rhodes also left WWE earlier this year and faced his brother Cody at Double or Nothing in a match that left both men bloody. After the match, came the unforgettable moment where Cody asked his older brother to be his partner at Fight For The Fallen. Cody and Dustin Rhodes will face The Young Bucks at Fight For The Fallen later this month.

#3. Cody

Cody Rhodes' first appearance in a WWE video game came in SmackDown vs RAW 2009. The last WWE video game Cody appeared in was on WWE 2K16 in his Stardust persona.

Cody was one of the brains behind All Elite Wrestling and is currently an executive VP. His next appearance will be at Fight For The Fallen along with older brother Dustin Rhodes as they face The Young Bucks.

#2. Jon Moxley aka Dean Ambrose

Jox Moxley made his WWE video game debut in WWE 2k14 along with his Shield brothers - Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. He's been a part of every game in the WWE 2K series including the last installment WWE 2K19 which could be his last for a while.

Moxley recently made his in-ring debut for All Elite Wrestling at Fyter Fest where he beat Joey Janela in the brutal main-event. He was laid out by Kenny Omega after the match.

#1. Chris Jericho

Chris Jericho was a part of a number of WCW video games before appearing in WWE games after signing with the company during the Attitude Era. Jericho made his video game debut in WCW Nitro which came out for the original PlayStation in 1998. The game was later ported over to other systems.

After signing with the WWE, he made his first appearance in a WWE video game on WWF WrestleMania 2000 which was released on the Nintendo 64 in October 1999. Jericho has appeared in almost every WWE video game since then and was also a part of the WWE 2K19 roster which could be his last for at least a while.

Jericho signed with All Elite Wrestling soon after the company was officially announced. He made his debut at Double or Nothing where he beat Kenny Omega. Jericho will face Hangman Page to determine who will be the first AEW World Champion.
