WWE 2K23 Fans Spot Fun Sami Zayn Easter Egg

gamerant.com:

A knowledgeable WWE 2K23 streamer recently noticed an amusing nod to superstar Sami Zayn’s pre-WWE days while playing through MyRise. While the standard version of WWE 2K23 isn’t set to release until Friday, players who pre-ordered the Deluxe and Icon versions of the game have been able to jump into 2K’s latest squared-circle simulator a few days early. In that short time, fans have lauded WWE 2K23 for building on the already solid framework of last year’s WWE 2K22 to deliver a fun, interactive celebration of WWE’s past and present.

One of the many wrestlers to be featured in WWE 2K23 is Sami Zayn, who is more popular than ever before thanks to his emotionally-charged feud with the villainous Bloodline faction. While Zayn recently came up short in his WWE Undisputed Championship Match against Bloodline leader Roman Reigns during last month’s Elimination Chamber event, many fans are pushing for him to take on a starring role in WWE going forward — and rumors suggest that he will team up with his longtime friend Kevin Owens against The Usos at the upcoming WrestleMania.

In the meantime, Sami Zayn has a supporting role in WWE 2K23’s MyRise storyline, and there is even a funny reference to the former Honorary Uce’s earlier career tucked away in one of the mode’s matches. WWE 2K streamer and Twitter user Smallafro recently livestreamed himself playing through the male-based “The Lock” campaign, particularly a match against a masked opponent named El Ordinario. While this wrestler’s name is funny on its own, Smallafro soon realizes that it is actually a shout-out to El Generico, the persona Sami Zayn wrestled under on the independent circuit
