Names Reportedly Set To Be Cover Star And Pre-Order Bonus Character For WWE 2K19

The cover star and pre-order bonus character have been revealed for WWE 2K19.

WWE 2K19 is set to be released later this year (likely in October) on Xbox One and PS4. Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet has released a report that has details on who will be on the cover of the game as well as pre-order bonus character based on a commercial that was filmed this week.

According to the report, WWE Champion AJ Styles, who is slated to defend the title against Shinsuke Nakamura in a Last Man Standing Match at this Sunday’s Money in the Bank pay-per-view event, will be the cover star.

On the flip side, former UFC Women’s Bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, who is set to challenge Nia Jax for the RAW Women’s Title at MITB, will be the pre-order bonus character.

Both Styles and Rousey were in Memphis this week for the cover reveal shoot. It should also be noted that Rey Mysterio was on-set for the trailer and appears to be playing a big part in the advertisement.

Despite his recent appearances for the sports entertainment company this year, (competing in the Royal Rumble Match at the pay-per-view event in January and wrestling in the 50-Man Royal Rumble Match at the Greatest Royal Rumble PPV) Mysterio has yet to agree to terms for a new WWE contract.

Jeff Hardy is also in the commercial, as well as a few other Superstars.

2K Game has already announced that it will host a virtual press conference on Monday, June 18 to unveil the cover Superstar for WWE 2K19.
