Ronda Rousey rose to stardom thanks to her incredible win-loss record in the UFC where she went undefeated for years. Ronda Rousey won 12 UFC fights in a row until she finally lost to Holly Holm in 2015, and then to Amanda Nunes in 2016. After her UFC career was over,Ronda Rouseyturned her attention to WWE, winning the WWE Raw Women’s Championship and becoming one of the first women to ever main event WrestleMania.
Rousey recently made her return to WWE, making a surprise appearance in the 2022 Royal Rumble match and winning it, allowing her to challenge Charlotte Flair for the WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship atWrestleMania 38. It seems Rousey did not return to WWE in time to be a part of theWWE 2K22base game roster, but there are apparently plans to add her as post-launch DLC.

This is according to a report by Sports Gamers Online, citing unspecified sources. If the report is to be believed, WWE itself asked 2K Sports to include Rousey in theWWE 2K22video game. It’s unclear exactly how long fans will have to wait to get Rousey inWWE 2K22, but there are multiple DLC packs planned for the game as part of its Season Pass.
As it stands,WWE 2K22has only revealed one DLC character that will be added to the game after its release. It has been confirmed that musicianMachine Gun Kelly will be added toWWE 2K22as DLC. It’s possible that MGK and Rousey will be included in the same DLC pack, but it’s also possible that they will be released separately. Fans will have to wait for official information onWWE 2K22’s DLC plans to find out more information on that front.
Rousey was previously featured as one of the playable wrestlers on theWWE 2K20roster, where she had a 90 overall rating. If Rousey comes toWWE 2K22, it will be interesting to see where her rating falls. As it stands, Rousey has only ever lost one match in her WWE career and has been undefeated since her return. On the other hand, Rousey’s lengthy hiatus from WWE could very well drag her overall rating down.
It will definitely be interesting to see how Rousey’s rating compares toBecky Lynch’sWWE 2K22rating, as Becky is the only WWE star to hold a victory over Rousey. One would imagine that would mean Lynch’s rating would be higher than Rousey’s, but that remains to be seen.
