WWE 2K20 comes out in November this year and we've been taking an early look at the game in the last few weeks.
Today, we take a look at some Superstars who will most likely not be a part of the WWE roster becuase they have parted ways with the company since the last game in the series was released. If we get an All Elite Wrestling game in the future, we could see some of these names feature on it.
#6 Tye Dillinger

We start off our list with the 'Perfect 10' Tye Dillinger. Dillinger's second run with WWE started so well with him gaining traction in NXT. He then made his made roster debut at the #10 slot in the 2017 Royal Rumble but it all went wrong after he was called up full-time on SmackDown Live.
Dillinger stopped getting any television time soon after his call-up, and even when he did, it was to stare at the lights. Dillinger reprotedly even asked to be sent back to NXT but his request was refused. He was finally released by WWE earlier this year in February.
#5 Goldust
Goldust may be a WWE legend but there is almost no chance that he will be in WWE 2K20. The man behind Goldust, Dustin Runnels, was released from WWE earlier this year after Triple H pushed Vince McMahon to do it. Goldust had recently returned from injury but with WWE's sizeable roster, it was unlikely that he would get any television time.
Runnels has now signed with WWE's arch-rivals, All Elite Wrestling, and looks set to face his half-brother Cody at All In 2: Double or Nothing. With Runnels now with AEW, it's highly unlikely that he will be in the WWE 2K20 roster.
#4 TJ Perkins
TJ Perkins won the inaugural WWE Cruiserweight Classic and was crowned the first WWE Cruiserweight Champion of the current era. However, his run as champion flustered and he soon lost his title. His heel turn didn't go off that well either and WWE saw fit to release TJP earlier this year.
The release means that TJP will not be returning in WWE 2K20 which will definitely come as a disappointment to his fans.
#3 Nick Miller
Nick Miller signed with WWE along with tag-team partner Shane Thorne. The duo had made their name in Japan as The Mighty Don't Kneel and debuted in NXT under the name TM-61. After they had to take time off due to a injury to Shane Thorne, it was finally starting to click for the duo.
However, Miller decided he wanted to stay closer to his family after recenlty becoming a father and WWE granted his release. Miller is now signed with New Japan Pro Wrestling which means that he's another Superstar who won't return in WWE 2K20.
#2 Harper
Harper also looks to be on his way out of WWE at the time of writing, meaning that he may not be returning in WWE 2K20 which is definitely going to be a disappointment. Harper returned from injury recently and then asked for his release from the company, reportedly unhappy at his position and what creative had for him.
WWE has reportedly frozer Harper's contract now and he looks to be on his way out.
#1 Chris Jericho
The biggest name of our list has to be Chris Jericho. There's no way that Jericho will be on WWE 2K20 with the Aytollah of Rock'n'rolla being one of All Elite Wrestling's marquee signings.
Jericho will easily be the biggest miss from the WWE 2K20 roster as far as fans of the franchise are concerned.
