5 wrestling games you should try until WWE 2K22 is released

#2. Wait for WWE 2K22 by playing the first WWE 2k game

The reason the recent entries in the series were not well received by the fans was because of the standards set by 2K14. It was the first game to be released under the 2K banner.

It was a feature-packed wrestling game, including 30 years of WrestleMania, The Streak and loads more. Moreover, it was The Rock who was the cover superstar of the game.

One must play this game as it is where it all started for the association of WWE with 2K. Furthermore, the game in itself was quite spectacular.

#1. SmackDown: Here comes the pain

What's better than a trip down memory lane? SmackDown: Here comes the pain was released years before the introduction of the PG Era. It is specifically mentioned because the game is renowned for its ruthless aggression.

Players can ride on helicopters, perform a diving clothesline from above, a bloodbath was extremely common in the game as well. Not only was it the first to feature the Elimination Chamber, but it also was the first to include former WWE Superstars as playable characters.

It has a legit claim alongside WWF No Mercy and WWE 2K games to be called the best wrestling games ever. It is no doubt worth a shot before the release of WWE 2K22.
