The WWE 2K23 roster is here! The complete roster has finally been unveiled, so here is a list of all of the wrestlers, superstars, and performers appearing in WWE 2K23.
WWE 2K23 Roster: Full List of Confirmed Wrestlers and Performers
WWE 2K23 has officially been revealed with WWE 2K23 release date with the John Cena cover athlete reveal. But aside from John Cena, who else is going to be part of the WWE 2K23 roster? According to Visual Concepts, WWE 2K23 will be having more wrestlers on its roster compared to WWE 2K22, which had a final roster count of 222 playable characters. According to them as well, if they continue their work rate, then the eventual WWE 2K24, especially since WWE keeps on signing new talent, and thus many wrestlers are debuting in WWE 2K23. This includes DLC wrestlers, which we'll be discussing as well below.
Of course, it's expected that the entire current locker room will be appearing in some capacity in the game, but there have been instances in the past when some wrestlers didn't make the cut, just like in the WWE 2K22 roster. So, we have this list readied to let you know who has actually been confirmed to be part of the WWE 2K23 roster. Meanwhile, while some wrestlers might be part of the current roster and are expected to be part of the WWE 2K23 roster, Visual Concepts asks fans to hold their thoughts for a moment and wait for the announcement of DLC content, as some wrestlers might feature there instead of at launch. We also have a full list of notable wrestlers missing from the WWE 2K23 roster.

MyRISE Mode WWE2K23 Unlockables
Some wrestlers have been confirmed to be unlocked through WWE 2K23's MyRISE mode. With two different storyline paths available this year, there will be unlockables from each of the storyline paths. The ones that we know as of the writing of this article are as follows:
The Legacy (Female Superstar)
- Mighty Molly
- Molly Holly 02
- Molly Holly
The Lock (Male Superstar)
- Jean-Paul Lavesque
- Ezekiel
And that's all of the confirmed WWE 2K23 roster cast of characters, managers, perfomers, and wrestlers who will be appearing in the game so far. Take note that there are wrestlers that you will have to unlock using VC, unlocked through MyRISE, alternate versions of wrestlers, as well as wrestlers unlocked through the Showcase Mode. Be sure to play MyRISE and Showcase Mode first to immediately have the complete roster. Then, the DLC will enhance the current launch lineup, bringing the grand total of all wrestlers part of the WWE 2K23 roster, including unlockables, DLCs, and alternate versions, to over 236. That's quite a big number, and yet we still expect more to be revealed upon launch!
Unfortunately, Visual Concepts has also confirmed that unfortunately, wrestler attires or alternate versions of wrestlers found in MyFACTION cards will not be unlockable outside of the game mode. That means that on disc, there are even more wrestlers in the game, except that there are a number of wrestlers who you won't get to use in the main game, exhibition, Universe Mode, and MyGM. Theoretically, at least, as we haven't seen any MyFACTION-exclusive wrestlers yet, but if 2K22 is anything to go by, then there's going to be at least a dozen of them.
WWE 2K23 arrived on March 17, 2023, for the PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and the Xbox Series X. Those who pre-purchase either the Deluxe Edition or the Icon Edition will get early access to the game three days ahead on March 14, 2023. For everything else about WWE 2K, stick with ClutchPoints Gaming.
