5 WWE 2K18 characters who won't be in WWE 2K19

WWE 2K19's release is just around the corner. WWE 2K19 is set to release on October 9 and four days early for pre-order of Deluxe Edition, October 5.

While 2K hasn't still confirmed all details of the game, we know that some former WWE stars who were a part of WWE 2K18 roster might not be a part of WWE 2K19 roster.

Let us talk about superstars who were a part of WWE 2K18 roster but won't be a part of WWE 2K19.

#5. Summer Rae

Summer Rae

Summer Rae was finally released from her WWE contract in October 2017 after being on the injured list for more than a year. However, Rae never showed much improvement in the ring. She didn't hold much sway with fans as a character either. WWE 2K fans may expect WWE 2K18 as her last WWE video game appearance for the foreseeable future.

At the age of 34, Summer is unlikely to have another shot at becoming a top-level female star in WWE. Although she might return to WWE in future, it does mean she's on the outside looking in this year. That means no 2K19 roster slot and no cushy royalty check from 2K.

Anyone interested in playing Summer Rae as a playable character might surely switch to WWE 2K18 or past 3 games.

#4. Rich Swann

Former WWE Cruiserweight Champion, Rich Swann

Rich Swann was released from WWE contract on his birthday, 15 February this year. WWE wasn't willing to tolerate any allegations of domestic violence, something Swann was detained in December and even when Rich was cleared of any wrongdoing he was still canned.

This is a clear indication that WWE 2K18 will be the first and last WWE game Rich Swann was part of.

Things have been weird for Swann since departing WWE. He announced plans to retire from pro wrestling after getting released and then changed his mind in less than a month.

#3. Enzo Amore & Big Cass

.....and you can't teach that

One of the most popular tag teams a year ago, Enzo Amore and Big Cass will definitely not be a part of WWE 2K19.

After misconduct allegations at the turn of the year, Amore was stripped of the WWE Cruiserweight Title and released from his contract on the same day RAW celebrated its 25th anniversary and six days before he was set to appear at January's Royal Rumble show.

Much like him, his former WWE partner Big Cass is not going to be a part of the game. Big Cass was released after an average storyline with Daniel Bryan in June after he went off-script on SmackDown in May.

If you think the duo might be a part of WWE 2K19, there's only one word to describe you and I am going to spell it out for you -'S...A...W...F...T'.

#2. Emma

It's not all about her

Emma might be one of a few female superstars who many WWE fans think shouldn't have been treated like she was.

Emma was one of the female stars with a huge amount of potential who were never pushed. Emma was mostly underused and after a return her main roster in 2016, all her NXT momentum was killed from which she was unable to recover.

After her rivalry with debuting Asuka, Emma was released from her WWE contract just after 12 days WWE 2K18 was released. She now works as Tenille Dashwood(her real name) on Ring Of Honor and shows her potential there. The final stretch of her WWE career was miserable, and it's perhaps a slight surprise she was even included in 2K18, never mind this year's game.

After all, it was not all about her.

#1. Neville

The man that WWE forgot

Neville was one of the best wrestlers to be a part of the WWE roster and the WWE 2K18 roster.

After knowing he was going to lose to Enzo Amore on an episode of Raw, Neville decided to walk out of WWE and wait until his WWE contract expires.

Neville might have got his wish come true: He is released from his WWE contract this week. The former King of The Cruiserweights might very well not be seen in WWE 2K19 after his release.

The former Cruiserweight and NXT Champion single-handedly revived 205 Live was never given an opportunity on the main roster. I wish him good luck for his future endeavours, but sadly WWE 2K18 was the last WWE game we might see him.

Neville will surely become a man 2K and WWE forgets in WWE 2K19.
