WWE 2K24 Confirms Fan-Favorite Character Is Joining The Roster

WWE 2K24 has officially confirmed the return of Bray Wyatt's The Fiend to the game. While Bray Wyatt was part of WWE 2K23's DLC roster, The Fiend had only made appearances in two games, the universally panned WWE 2K20 and WWE Battlegrounds.

A few negative comments asked whether other mask variations for the character were available, but positive reactions were mostly thanking 2K for the inclusion.
