New WWE 2K19 Entrances Released, Superstar Ratings For Asuka And More
Over this past weekend, there have been new WWE 2K19 entrances and superstar ratings revealed. Fans are getting an early look at some of the numbers their favorite superstars will have in the game. Four more were shown as of Sunday night. In addition, a few new entrance videos were posted online with one of them drawing some early criticism for lacking some a key detail.
There have already been over 100 playable superstars announced for the upcoming WWE 2K19 game. However, 2K hasn’t released all of the superstar ratings yet. They’ve revealed ratings for a handful of stars including AJ Styles, Finn Balor, Braun Strowman and The Undisputed Era. On Saturday (Sept. 9), fans saw Asuka’s rating among others.
WWE 2K19 Rating for Asuka & Other Superstars
“The Empress of Tomorrow” will be a part of the new 2K19 game on the main roster. For the game, she’s been awarded an 84 overall rating. Some may find that number questionable, though. Asuka was the longest-reigning WWE NXT Women’s Champion in history so far. While she’s failed to capture any gold on the SmackDown Live roster, she has shown how dominant she can be. Her winning streak within WWE is unmatched so far, as it even surpassed Goldberg’s streak back in WCW.

2K released the ratings for Asuka’s fellow SmackDown Live roster superstars The Bludgeon Brothers. Luke Harper will have an 84 rating, while his tag team partner Erick Rowan gets an 80. These guys are former SmackDown Live tag team champions. In addition, Harper has held the Intercontinental Championship before during a solo run.
The 2K19 ratings for Sonya Deville were posted late on Sunday evening. Deville, who is set to take on SmackDown Live Women’s Champion Charlotte this week, earned an 84 for the game. She hasn’t complained about her rating just yet and so far hers look pretty good based on other women’s superstars’ ratings. Her 84 is higher than all three members of the Riott Squad and just a bit below Asuka’s rating.

One other superstar had their ratings shown. 205 Live’s Mustafa Ali has an 84 for the new game. Fans are commenting about how his character look for the game is very close to accurate. They’re hoping he’ll have the light up effects he uses on the way to the ring, so that remains to be seen.
WWE 2K19 Entrances Bring Early Criticism
In addition to the four superstar ratings, there were new WWE 2K19 entrances revealed. They were for NXT roster members Velveteen Dream and The Undisputed Era (below). The trio consisting of Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly, and Bobby Fish look great. However, the NXT stable’s entrance has drawn some criticism.
One of the major trademarks of Undisputed Era’s entrance has been Kyle O’Reilly’s “strumming the belt” like it’s a guitar. That’s noticeably missing from the entrance video above. Fans have been letting 2K know it on their Twitter and YouTube posts.
In addition, there have been some complaints about Cole’s “Adam Cole Bay-Bay” taunt and the fact that Roderick Strong isn’t included in the stable. In fairness, Roderick joined Undisputed Era in what may have been late for game development. It’s possible they’ll add him as DLC at a later time.
Fans will eagerly await more of these WWE 2K19 entrances and player ratings in the coming days and weeks. The game itself arrives on October 5th or 9th, depending on which version was pre-ordered.
