Seth Rollins will grace the cover of the upcoming WWE 2K18 video game. WWE 2K18 will be released on October 18th for Playstation 4 and Xbox One. You can check out the first trailer for the game below:
Rollins appeared on ESPN SportsCenter on Monday morning to make the big announcement.

Rollins told ESPN, “It was an honor for me. You look at some of the previous names who have graced the cover of WWE video games over the years and to be amongst those is truly an honor and I’m humbled by it.”
He continued, “I’m also just excited for our generation of guys, the new generation of up-and-coming guys, to be the first of us to be on the cover. It’s cool and not just exciting for me but our entire locker room.”
Rollins is in good company. Since the first WWE 2K game back in 2014, WWE has featured just one Superstar on the box cover. In 2014 it was The Rock, followed by John Cena, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Brock Lesnar last year.
It should also be interesting to see who the special downloadable character will be this year. In recent years, we’ve seen Ultimate Warrior, Sting and Goldberg featured as pre-order bonus characters. Each of them went on to make WWE television appearances following the video game cameos, with Sting and Goldberg actually getting in the ring and wrestling for WWE years after most people thought they’d ever see that occur. With a certain Olympic Gold Medalist back in the fold and hinting at lacing up the boots once again, Kurt Angle seems like a natural fit for this year’s installment.
Here’s the first-look at the WWE 2K18 cover:
