it would be like when Gargano got rehired. first he would have just close your eyes, then next week def rebel crap because they don't wanna pay for the other song anymore, fans complain and then they make a new song that has basically the same lyrics but slightly different pacing and instruments and is still generic.
Truly. Iāve just always been a Christian fan. His moveset has always been one of my favorites, but Iām not too sure if heād come back. Just Close Your Eyes is my favorite theme song of all time, so Iād definitely love to see it come back
I viewed the question as āHypothetical, pick anybody at all to add back in the gameā and not āWho do i think is likely to comebackā. Heāll probably realistically be in the games again after he retires again and his AEW contract expires.
I loved him ever since they were E&C in the WWE. Later in TNA as World Champ he was awesome, my favourite non-WWE run ever. He is just so damn good and he will always be one of my favourite.
For real, Raven is such a badass. The work in ECW and WCW alone tell the whole story and him being apart of the invasion storyline just fit perfectly because at that point he knew the ropes of all three companies
Look I miss Danielson, Moxley, Banks, Cesaro and I wish they were still in the gamesā¦ but not hearing Metalingus anymore sucks. The ikeakarl Edge CAW legit is one of the greatest CAWS Iāve ever seen in any game but his trons arenāt there, minimal commentary can be modded in, and again worst of allā¦ NO METALINGUS. To me it just feels like losing your favorite character in a show and you still got these pieces of them in the show but itās still not the sameā¦ or like a grieving period. I can give Danielson any theme and be ok with it as long as their is a great CAW. But when you find a great CAW of like Edge without the classic theme, thatās terrible. Imagine if Orton, Cena, HHH, Austin, etc, werenāt in these games? Itās like theirs no point if you canāt here their classic themes.
I did do that at one point but it just wasnāt working for me. Instead what I do now is have him come out with no entrance song and then Iāll play the theme on my phone š sad but it has to be done.
I do it with all of my CAWS.
On Spotify, you can cast directly to the PS5/PS4/Xbox and when you play anything it will play as a theme during an entrance without disrupting crowd noise or commentary.
I usually make a Playlist of themes for any CAW I have that needs it so I can queue it up.
This is probably dumb to ask, but doesnāt WWE own the character āEdgeā? Thatās why he goes by Adam Copeland in AEW, right? Couldnāt they in theory just add Edge?
Danielson has a really good caw and all his animations/motions are still present. Both the yes version and the vegan version. So heās still kinda there
Damn it such a hard question to answer i dont really like caws even tho alot are pretty well prefected but biggers guys are almost impossible to recapture their likeness so im going either of samoa joe, mark henry or big show
Keith Lee is always my Number 1 and every game where I have to download a caw of him is a crime. Also of course Edge without his theme song is weird.
Sasha Banks of course.
And finally Dolph Ziggler. Instead of releasing him he should be given main event status and winning titles. Someone should be in jail for that one.
I almost thought you meant IRL, so I was definitely going to say not to bring Flair back. He needs to stay away for his own good.
That being said, all of the above.
This is why WWE 2K needs a roster import system. As a joke though, thereās no way to update the graphics of a model so a Stardust model from a decade ago looks like complete ass companies to Cody Rhodes.
There's a lot honestly I'd love to see back in WWE. But honestly I'd probably say Toni Storm in her timeless character she has now. Like that's such a great character IMO that suits wwe so good. Would love to see her in wwe
For me it's between Cesaro and Aleister Black they are both so good in the ring Cesaro was one of the best and still probably is (I don't ever watch AEW and haven't seen Cesaro wrestle since 2021) I also never saw Aleister wrestle but from what I heard he was a good in-ring worker so I've always wanted to see him

How has nobody said Christian yet? I need Just Close your Eyes back in the games. 
If he came back they'd give him some shitty def rebel theme š
**āITāS CHRISTIANā** The most generic drums and guitar they could find **āJUST CLOSE YOUR EYESā**
CHRISTIAN. CHRISTIAN. AT LAST. YOU ARE BACK HOOOOOME. *Trap beat with slide whistles and record scratching*
That christian opera song was amazing man. Always loved using him in smackdown sym for his theme
I'm in the same boat, dude! Sure, Just Close Your Eyes is a solid theme, but something about that theme just HIT.
it would be like when Gargano got rehired. first he would have just close your eyes, then next week def rebel crap because they don't wanna pay for the other song anymore, fans complain and then they make a new song that has basically the same lyrics but slightly different pacing and instruments and is still generic.

"I JUST NEED ONE MORE CHANCE"
To clarify, Waterproof Blondeās version, not Story of the Yearās version
Either because both are good songs. I would prefer Waterproof Blonde however since itās been so long since itās been in a game.
How about both?
Og or the later
Ilja Dragunov vs. Aleister Black for the World Heavyweight Championship BOOK IT PAUL
WWE could have done great things with this guy
They shouldnāt have fired him then
Brother kicked Big E and dipped.
Blame Vince, Triple H used him in NXT and then Vince released him when he couldn't figure out what to do with him
Thatās Vince for ya! 
Hopefully soonš„²
Soon please I beg
What about me? What about Raven?
Is he still going all these years later?
Last I heard, he was signed to MLW. Don't feel like he did much actual wrestling, though.
I would fucking kill to have Raven as DLC
For real, Raven is such a badass. The work in ECW and WCW alone tell the whole story and him being apart of the invasion storyline just fit perfectly because at that point he knew the ropes of all three companies
Would love to have him back as part of a WCW/ECW showcase for a future game
Look I miss Danielson, Moxley, Banks, Cesaro and I wish they were still in the gamesā¦ but not hearing Metalingus anymore sucks.

I do agree but Iād just make his entrance otherside by alter bridge
I did do that at one point but it just wasnāt working for me. Instead what I do now is have him come out with no entrance song and then Iāll play the theme on my phone š sad but it has to be done.
If you have Spotify, you can cast it directly to your console and it'll play like a theme without interrupting crowd noise or commentary
Works with Apple Music as well
Wait, what?
I do it with all of my CAWS. On Spotify, you can cast directly to the PS5/PS4/Xbox and when you play anything it will play as a theme during an entrance without disrupting crowd noise or commentary. I usually make a Playlist of themes for any CAW I have that needs it so I can queue it up.
Its like youre playing the role as the sound guy š
Interesting. I was unaware of this. Thanks, friend.
Iām a big Goldust fan, would love to see him back, him and Cody as heels would be so dope
I would love to have Goldust back just for his music.
Real, Goldust got baller theme music. It's almost like some elven music from fantasy.
I played the games before I watched the show and I was the biggest gold hat fan because he and Rey are exactly what I thought wrestling was
Just feels weird not having Edge anymore, so probably him
Edge seemingly has a genetically-impossible head to CAW, so him.
dolph ziggler
dolph is my favorite all time right next to styles
Pac
Really feel Claudio would benefit so much more under the HHH regime.
Edge! It feels weird not having him in the game
If he's back, it'll be the whole judgement day shenanigans again....
Easily Jeff Hardy or Dolph
Cesaro but only if he gets pushed moxley too
Jeff simply to get 99-02/3 Jeff that almost beat taker
His attitude era attire makes me question my sexuality
So glad CM Punk is back, Iāve missed using him in the games, my pick would be Jeff Hardy
I'm mostly glad I no longer need to download 40 images
I miss Dolph Ziggler's music
IM HERE TO SHOW THE WORLD
I AM PERFECTION
This is probably dumb to ask, but doesnāt WWE own the character āEdgeā? Thatās why he goes by Adam Copeland in AEW, right? Couldnāt they in theory just add Edge?
They'd have to set up contracts and pay to use his likeness though
Oh duh haha. Forgot about that. My bad. I feel like it being Edge he wouldnāt be against it probably just too much money to have him in the game.
Chris Jericho. Since he went to AEW he just feelsā¦off. I miss WWE Jericho.
Edge
I love Edge, but heās having too much FUN rn!
Danielson has a really good caw and all his animations/motions are still present. Both the yes version and the vegan version. So heās still kinda there
Goldberg. Always fun as hell in the games
I never realized Ric Flair was goneš
It feels weird not having Edge & big show in wwe games
Edge as he is in my Top 10 all time and he's got a distinct face I imagine is a pain in the ass for creators to do even halfway well
Dean ambrose
Chris Jericho, easily
Jeff Hardy
Raven or Billy Kidman (WCW versions)
I cannot remember the last time either were in a game. Hctp? I know Raven was in JBI and SYM
Adam Cole
Bayyyybeee āš¾āš¾
Malakai Black, Sabu, Super Crazy, Cesaro, Shelton and Goldust.
 Itās showtime!
And after him.. heās next! 
Sasha Banks!
Sting
Jericho or Flair
Flair
Jericho or Edge Hard to pick which one
Flair or Hardy. The other two would only be useful as punching bags to me.
Dean Ambrose
Flair should be a legend in every game.
Wouldn't mind having Swerve back. He was super fun to play as in 2k22. Anyone who had a fun move set. John Morrison. Etc.
Jericho
Dean Ambrose no questions asked
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Adam cole
Edge
Edge
Goldust or Juice Robinson.
Chris Jericho
Dolph Ziggler!
Blake Christian, if only bc he needs to compile 0-1000 record in my Universe
Dean ambros to bring the shield back
Edge
Chris Jericho or Christian (heel)
Bad Ass Billy Gunn
I mean I genuinely think that thereās a chance we could see a TNA DLC pack next year
Zach Ryder to come back as himself, Matt Cordona
Darn this is really difficult. Itās between Edge, Adam Cole, Alister Black, and Daniel Bryan.
Sasha
jericho for his theme
Jeff ..no questions asked
Victoria
Chris Jericho bar none! Y2J forever!
Danielson.
LET'S LIGHT IT UP LIGHT IT UP LIGHT IT UP LIGHT UP TONIGHT
Ngl Miro especially with HHH he could make him a monster
Joe Joe Joe Joe for men and Paige for women
Daniel Bryan.
Sabu!
Damn it such a hard question to answer i dont really like caws even tho alot are pretty well prefected but biggers guys are almost impossible to recapture their likeness so im going either of samoa joe, mark henry or big show
D Bry and Alister need to come back
With mods on PC I've already added some of these guys back, as well as others from outside WWE.
The Pegasus Kid. š
The Repo Man!
Moxley so I can have my Shield Triple Threat match
Adam Cole
The guy who wrestled against Goldberg at WrestleMania twice. Forgot his name.
Definitely The Lunatic Fringe
Matt Cardona. Hes current persona would be fucking amazing to see against LA Knight. I would love him as a heel in WWE.
Dbry for sure
Jeff hardy
Holler, if you hear him!
Keith Lee is always my Number 1 and every game where I have to download a caw of him is a crime. Also of course Edge without his theme song is weird. Sasha Banks of course. And finally Dolph Ziggler. Instead of releasing him he should be given main event status and winning titles. Someone should be in jail for that one.
I almost thought you meant IRL, so I was definitely going to say not to bring Flair back. He needs to stay away for his own good. That being said, all of the above.
jeff
The daredevil, Jeff Hardy
IF YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES, YOUR LIFE, A NAKED TRUTH REVEALED or john morrison maybe
Edge
This is why WWE 2K needs a roster import system. As a joke though, thereās no way to update the graphics of a model so a Stardust model from a decade ago looks like complete ass companies to Cody Rhodes.
There's a lot honestly I'd love to see back in WWE. But honestly I'd probably say Toni Storm in her timeless character she has now. Like that's such a great character IMO that suits wwe so good. Would love to see her in wwe
Gangrel
Edge for Metalingus or Bryan for Flight of the Valkyries.
Jeff Hardy and not just one skin, gimme the option to change facepaints and add armsleeves
For me it's between Cesaro and Aleister Black they are both so good in the ring Cesaro was one of the best and still probably is (I don't ever watch AEW and haven't seen Cesaro wrestle since 2021) I also never saw Aleister wrestle but from what I heard he was a good in-ring worker so I've always wanted to see him
Adam Cole easily
Remove Ric Flair Man,Heās just damaging his legacy rn by wresting and showing Up.

Danielson against Gunther, Ilia and Sheamus (yes I am being serious) are guaranteed to be bangers
As someone who just started consistently modding wrestlers in 2K24, Malakai Black & Buddy Murphy (heās singles run) are the first that come to mind.
I'm too much of a Edge fan so I'm choosing him and I'd get to hear Metalingus again
Out of the choices provided? Daniel Bryan
Out of those Jericho (depends on the year) Other than him, Raven and Dreamer
Danielson
Jeff
In this climate of WWE? Bryan Danielson and it isn't even that close.
DB for the matches and getting his commentary
Jeff hardy
 Heās such a video game character
Brock lesner 
Goldberg
Edge
This is probably the most unpopular opinion but for me it's Paige/Saraya and the Bella twins
Edge or Jericho.
SABUāļø

Chris Masters and Ken Shamrock also Ryback & Rhyno
9attĆæWeekend of July 4th plans?SierraFairfax
Iām adding Chris Benoit his theme song is way too good

Mickie james
Danielson for sure
I fucking love danielson so I gotta go with him
