On Friday, 2K Sports started to reveal WWE 2K19 ratings for superstars in the upcoming wrestling game. There have been seven superstars with ratings revealed, so far. Among the major stars who have ratings so far are current WWE Champion AJ Styles, “The Demon” Finn Balor, and “The Monster Among Men” Braun Strowman.
Ratings started trickling in from the WWE 2K19 (@WWEgames) Twitter account as of Friday (Aug. 31). Just like other popular sports games, professional wrestlers in the game are rated from 0 to 100, with 100 being the highest. The first official superstar that 2K revealed a rating for in the upcoming game was AJ Styles. The reigning WWE Champion and this year’s cover athlete was awarded a 91 rating. As of this report, it’s the highest rating for the seven superstars revealed so far.

Shortly after Styles’ rating hit Twitter, 2K announced the ratings for each of the members of the Riott Squad. Stable leader Ruby Riott has the highest rating of the trio with an 80. Liv Morgan is at 71 which is slightly better than stablemate Sarah Logan’s 70.
Braun Strowman has been wreaking havoc ever since he arrived onto the main roster. He’s the current “Money in the Bank” briefcase holder and has shown he can plow through competitors due to his imposing size and impressive strength. The guy has flipped over ambulances and other heavy objects on WWE Raw. However, his rating sits at 89 which is slightly lower than Styles.

The WWE 2K19 ratings for Velveteen Dream and Finn Balor are also out. The NXT superstar Dream has an 80 rating for the new game, while “The Demon” has an 85 overall rating. That seems decent for a former one-day Universal Champion who has without a championship ever since returning from injury.

The new game ratings seem to be arriving every so often on the WWE 2K19 Twitter account, so there should be more on the way in the coming days. They also arrive shortly after the first reveal of WWE 2K19 superstars on the roster. 2K revealed a total of 80 superstars with more to come soon.
Ratings are always a hot topic with sports games, and the WWE 2K19 ratings are no different. With Styles’ rating at 91, there are already fans who believe his rating is too low. Some Twitter commenters believe it should be about a 93 or 94.
Some disappointed fans are already anticipating that Roman Reigns will receive a higher rating than Styles. However, other fans are pointing out that it’s possible to adjust superstar ratings with the use of an extra add-on which costs $4.99 to purchase.
The new WWE 2K19 game arrives for PS4, Xbox One, and PCs on October 5 for deluxe or collector’s edition. The standard edition of the game releases on October 9, 2018.
