Meanwhile, there is the added edition of 1976’s Dusty Rhodes and Billy Graham. 

Furthermore, the Deluxe Edition will feature a cover of Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley. With this edition, players will get the preorder bonus of the standard edition along with a season pass to all five post-launch DLC packs. Additionally, you’ll find some alternate attires for the likes of Bianca and Rhea. 

Lastly, there is the Forty Years of Wrestlemania Edition. With this edition, you’ll gain the content from the previous two editions mentioned, alternate attires for a variety of wrestlers from past WrestleMania matches, and the instant unlocking of all playable Showcase characters.
