WWE 2K22's Cover Star Is Rey Mysterio, NWO Edition Revealed
Future WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio was revealed to be the cover star of 2K Games' upcoming WWE 2K22. In addition, various editions for the upcoming game have been revealed--including an nWo-focused one--and they will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on March 11.
Mysterio has been wrestling since 1989, but truly made a name for himself during the '90s as a member of WCW's cruiserweight division. Highlights from his career will be a part of this year's Showcase Mode. During a press conference, Mysterio's matches with Eddie Guerrero were mentioned--including their Wrestlemania 21 bout and the infamous «custody of Dominik» ladder match from Summerslam 2005. Nothing was confirmed for WWE 2K22, but with landmark moments like those and the battle between the two men at 1997's Halloween Havoc in WCW, we’re sure to see some classic bouts in Showcase Mode.
