5 WWE Superstars who appeared in non-wrestling games

Tomorrow, the collectors WOO! Edition of WWE 2K19 will be released, allowing fans to live their dream matches, whilst celebrating the life and career of the Nature Boy Ric Flair.

Whilst the regular version of the game comes out on the 9th, the latest entry into the WWE 2K series promises to be bigger and better than ever.

As well as a new storyline in My Career mode, and tweaked graphics, the game boasts a more up-to-date roster, with stars like Ronda Rousey making her first appearance in a WWE game, after being the cover star for UFC 2.

But Rousey isn't the only wrestlers to be in a non-WWE game, and here are 5 more superstars, and the games they appeared in.

#5 Brock Lesnar - Madden '06

When Brock Lesnar left the WWE in 2004, it was under the most unceremonious of circumstances.

Entering in a feud with Goldberg, both men made their intentions to leave after WrestleMania 20 clear and were booed heavily during their lacklustre match in MSG.

After leaving wrestling, Lesnar tried his hand at NFL Football, with the Beast appearing as a playable character in the 2006 edition of the annual Madden game.

Brock would later leave the NFL, becoming a major success in UFC, before returning to WWE in April 2012.

#4 Macho Man Randy Savage - Cars: Race-O-Rama

Describing himself in the game as "bigger than big and badder than bad", it is appropriate that the villainous El Machismo is voiced by none other than Randy Savage.

Savage leant his instantly recognizable voice to the game, released in 2009.

Machismo is originally the protege of the main antagonist Chick Hicks (voiced by Batman star Michael Keaton), a car hellbent on ending the career of Lightning McQueen.

Machismo later has a change of heart, and sides with McQueen by the end of the game.

#3 Roddy Piper - Saints Row IV

One of the most iconic stars of the WWF Golden Era, Rowdy Roddy Piper is known for his sharp tongue, bad attitude and love of tartan.

Appearing in the fourth instalment in the Saints Row franchise, Piper plays himself, in a nightmare of Keith David, legendary voice actor turned US Vice President.

Wearing his iconic white shirt and kilt, the Hot Rod busts out several moves from his repertoire, including a sleeper hold, clothesline and backbreaker.

The story he appears in during the game is also not too different from his classic film They Live when a drifter (Piper) discovers aliens have secretly taken over the earth.

#2 Stone Cold Steve Austin - Family Guy: The Quest For Stuff

Whilst Austin did not voice the video game version of himself, the Bionic redneck does appear in this made-for-mobile game, based on the adventures of Family Guy.

Similar to Simpsons: Tapped Out, this game allows players to build a whole world with some of the iconic sights and characters of Seth McFarlane's iconic show.

In the game, Austin is able to earn points for the player by stunning a variety of jobbers but does admit he is haunted by his fitness tracker.

#1 The Rock - The Scorpion King: Rise of the Akkadian

Not only a huge star in WWE, but The Rock is a huge star in movies, some of which have been converted into Video Games.

In 2002, The Rock appeared in the Scorpion King, playing the titular warrior, who aims to free Gomorrah from the evil clutches of its ruler.

The game follows the film to a tee, though adds some extra missions where you get to test the powers of Dwayne Johnson.

Also, whilst the Rock's likeness in the game isn't exactly perfect, it's not much better when the Great One appears as a half-man-half-scorpion Hybrid in the Mummy Returns.
