2K completed their roster reveal for the upcoming WWE 2K19 video game today. One notable omission was NXT Champion, Tommaso Ciampa. While the game’s downloadable content (DLC) has yet to be announced, Ciampa has seemingly been left off the game. Ciampa himself commented on the matter:
In a since-deleted tweet, Ciampa wrote, “@WWEGames had their final roster reveal for WWE2k19,” Ciampa Tweeted. “A lot of people are wondering why The Champ is not in the game. Well, it’s quite simple. I’m The Champ for a reason. I don’t lose. Not in real life. Sure as hell not in your fantasy world.”

It is entirely possible this is a marketing/troll job orchestrated to get more attention for the game. Ciampa has been mocking many things online as of late. He mocked star-based match ratings after his NXT title match with Aleister Black:

He also released his own version of the PWI Top 500 list:

Ciampa even mocked the great NXT tradition of taking pictures with Triple H.

It seems unlikely that Ciampa would actually have been left off the 2K roster this year. He was in the game last year and his character model would only need a little updating.
