In addition to the above tweet, some of the WWE superstars included in the pack have tweeted their reactions or comments about it. That includes “The Man of the Hour” Lio Rush who tweeted out (in all caps): “YOU CAN NOW PLAY AS THE MAN OF THE HOUR ON #WWE2K19 @WWEgames GO DOWNLOAD THAT NOW! #MOTH #DLC”
Mike Kanellis has been appreciative of the fan support over his inclusion in the game. He posted the following tweet as the new DLC arrived on Thursday. That tweet comes days after there were WWE rumors suggesting he and his wife asked for a release from the company. So far, nothing materialized on that front. As of right now, these two stars are still part of the company and the game.
Having never been in a video game before, not gonna lie, it’s really cool to see all the pictures and videos of you guys playing as @MariaLKanellis and myself. You guys kick ass. Thank you 🙏🏻 #wwe #WWE2K19DLC @wwe @WWEgames pic.twitter.com/ThDL0vTs3z
