Some of the best professional wrestlers to date graced the first gameplay trailer for "WWE 2K17" released a month before the game comes out next month.

2K Games showcased some of the entrance dramas from the top wrestlers of WWE in the trailer, including Universal Champion Kevin Owens, Raw Women's Champion Charlotte, World Champion Dean Ambrose, Raw Tag Team Champions The New Day, NXT Women's Champion Asuka, as well as NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakamura.

The trailer that used P.Diddy's "Bad Boy for Life" soundtrack featured the extended preview of the action-packed Backstage Brawl that happened between Goldberg and Brock Lesnar, where the two were seen scuffling at the hallway. Lesnar even appeared to be pushed hard by Goldberg into a fuse box.

A string of new moves is also seen in the two-minute clip, including Sasha Banks' fatal double knee drop to her opponent's stomach, the leaping double axe handle performed by Cesaro, as well as the ring apron powerbomb from Kevin Owens. Shane McMahon, on the other hand, was seen jumping off the Hell in a Cell cage.

The trailer also showed that the eighteenth installment of the professional wrestling simulator video game will feature more accessible areas in the arena that will highlight the wrestlers' moves from other angles.

Other notable appearances in the trailer include John Cena, AJ Styles, Undertaker, Cris Jericho, The Mizz, Apollo Crews, Bayley, Sheamus, Sasha Banks, Stone Cold, Samoa Joe, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Kevin Owens, Triple H, and Alexa Bliss.

"WWE 2K17" comes out with two playable arenas that include the WCE Monday Nitro and the Halloween Havoc. It will come out for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC on Oct. 11. But those who will pre-order the game before the release date will be able to play the game using Goldberg as the playable character immediately upon release.
