'WWE 2K17' roster, release date: cover features Brock Lesnar; lineup expected to include Dean Ambrose

UPDATE: Brock Lesnar was announced the cover star for "WWE 2K17."

ORIGINAL STORY: There are a lot of speculations as to which characters will join Goldberg, John Cena, Ultimate Warrior and Sasha Banks in the "WWE 2K17" roster.

It's all but confirmed that Dean Ambrose will be in the next installment of the hit wrestling simulation video game. For one, he was in last year's installment already.

Now that he has made an even bigger name for himself this year following his victory at the recently-concluded Money in the Bank event, he has already carved his spot at "WWE 2K17."

Ambrose also known as The Lunatic is currently the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, after beating Seth Rollins, who at that time just reclaimed the title from Roman Reigns.

There's a possibility that Ambrose might even be the "WWE 2K17" cover star since he has quite the following.

However, fans might want to count on that too much as there are other stars that developer 2K Sports is expected to go for instead.

Attack of the Fanboy believes that the face of "WWE 2K17" will likely be Brock Lesnar, a WWE superstar whose ties to the UFC also helps the wrestling entertainment rake in more viewers and followers.

For the uninitiated, Lesnar is set to fight UFC star Mark Hunt at the UFC 200 next month despite the fact that he is still contract with WWE.

It is believed that some UFC stars (Ronda Rousey is said to be one) will appear in WWE in exchange of this one-time UFC comeback.

Apart from Lesnar, and Ambrose, possible "WWE 2K17" cover stars include Rollins and even Reigns, which might be a little problematic as he is currently suspended for a violation of the WWE wellness policy.
