Scheduled to go live on Oct. 17 this year for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and sometime this fall for Nintendo Switch, the WWE 2K18 roster is set to be the biggest in the franchise.
"In the second installment of the highly-anticipated WWE 2K18 Official Roster Reveal, 37 additional WWE Superstars have been announced for inclusion in the forthcoming franchise's worldwide release," said 2K Sports in their statement via Wrestle Zone.

The complete list of characters includes current Superstars, Women Wrestlers, Tag Team partnerships, popular Legends, and all-time Greats.
