When the WWE released the former Nash Carter of MSK back in April, fans of WWE 2K22 began wondering whether that would mean his removal as DLC from the game.
SGO can confirm that Carter has in fact been removed from the Stand Back DLC pack.
In a statement from a 2K spokesperson, the company confirmed that Carter was removed and there were slight updates to the pack that is scheduled to launch June 7.
From 2K:
[penci_blockquote style=”style-2″ align=”none” author=”” font_weight=”normal”]With 2K’s commitment to providing the most authentic representation of the WWE universe, the Stand Back Pack has been updated to reflect the current WWE roster. WWE 2K22 DLC packs provide the community with engaging and valuable content post launch to ensure there is always something new to discover in the ring. To deliver on that promise, the new update to the Stand Back Pack now includes Booker T EVO and Seth Rollins Emerald MyFACTION cards as bonus content in addition to The Hurricane, Stacey Keibler, A-Kid, and Wes Lee.[/penci_blockquote]
Carter was released from his WWE contract in April after allegations of domestic abuse surfaced from his wife Kimber Lee. In addition to those allegations, a photo then appeared of him doing a Nazi salute while sporting a mustache similar to Adolf Hitler’s.
What do you think about WWE Games removing Carter from the DLC pack? Let us know in the comment section below, and take the discussion further at the official SGO Discord server.
A lot of people don’t give a crap about my faction, and I certainly won’t be replacing him with either redactle Carmelo Hayes or Solo Sikoa.
I hope we get Cody as the final DLC.
See I love the game, and just because they remove this character doesn’t mean they won’t just give us another legend or something. I wish they would more or less break down the victory animations better. They have lists for all the entrance animations, could I get a regular list of victory animations please lol.
Only upset that it’s my faction cards as a replacement. Don’t play that at all until they make pvp in it. Lame
I want to play Nash Carter in WWE2k22 video games it is hard to lose him in WWE2k22
Ok listen, they cant say that its hard to replace him with another super star because players have been making characters that you can download to play so really how hard could it be to just put something together quick to shut us up? And make it a quick small update
Yooooo 2k When its true you can replace nash carter with THE AMERICAN NIGHTMAREEE CODY RHODESS is this a deal 😈
Honestly I’d rather they said once we can we will replace Nash Carter with a superstar to be named once we get the clearance from WWE who we can use. That would have been the ideal way for a good business model especially since WWE 2K20 was such a mess yet we all came back to the series.
Really tho??? This man is a woman beater and probably racist and you worried about using him in the game? You are part of the problem in this world. If anything, his ass needs to be locked up somewhere, not profiting for his likeness from being in a videogame.
Fuck this… They fucked us over with this one
Then I want my money back. False advertisement.
I think this is messed up like I understand why they did what they did but at the same time us as fans where looking forward to playing as bash carter and Wes lee but they should replace for another top star like solo sikoa or Carmelo Hayes instead we are getting 2 my faction cards that dosent make up for the players who bought the season pass to get the dlc we paid for
They should add Cody Rhodes
Okay then, why not add Cody Rhodes, Solo Sikowa, or even Carmelo Hayes to the pack???
because that wouldbe completely new characters to create
Cody!!!
As much as this sucks, being a fan of the Rascalz/MSK, I’m sure Community Creations will do a great job making him.
But Cody Rhodes in the game now these two my faction cards we don’t want this I spend 35 $ on a season pass and I m get this for a stand back and ack 2K put Cody Rhodes or anyone else we have a booker t and a Seth Rollins in my faction but no card on want just want Cody Rhodes or anyone else even people from nxt Bron Breaker Carmelo Hayes or two of toxic Attraction and Solo Sikoa even Joe fact this is what the community wants two faction cards that we can use in my faction we don’t what 2K change your put kayden carter or anyone from Nxt 2.0.
If they are trying to stay authentic to the wee roster then why are there so many other wrestlers that aren’t on the roster still in the game. Just leave him in like you did all those others
They should instead release a music pack with former theme songs to use. They have the rights to a lot of former wrestlers music from DX, to honkey tonk man and others. Throw in Cody Rhodes theme song and titan Tron as well. So much they could easily add that wouldn’t take months of new character models
Di not remove him
to late idiot
I think we should have another character that is in the wwe universe now like madcap moss at least put pretty deadly in it or solo sikoa or carmelo Hayes or his partner.
Cody
This sucks I was looking forward to playing as nash Carter and wes Lee Msk now you remove him I’m disappointed
They should give us Cody in return
What type of B.S. a lot of people don’t even care about my faction me being one never even played the mode and not going to replace him with Carmelo Hayes or Solo Sikoa
Seriously this is not what we paid for I dont even use the cards
What’s the alternative, no time to create a different wrestler.
They still have Bronson Reed’s character files in the games code
I play it it’s fun
Probably a smart idea to actually link to this statement from a 2K spokesperson, because nothing has been posted on 2K’s website or Twitter page.
But with that said, MyFaction cards as compensation is lame if this is true. He should be swapped with another character, even if they’re just pulled from 2K20. Paige or Alundra Blayze, perhaps. Both questioned why they were excluded.
The standerd of them wrestlers in not even close to those of those in 2k22 and ppl would only moan about that.
Men, 2K fucking sucks.
Not down to 2K they was prop told by WWE they not gunna want a domestic abuser in the game now are there 🤦 🙄
kimberly is a liar and the most hate female wrestler in impact company because she is drunk and problematic
That argument doesn’t hold much ground when Jordan Devlin is still in the game
So we lost a playable character and they are replacing it with the smallest thing they can offer instead they should give us Cody Rhodes
They would not have time to add Cody Rhodes to the pack in time.
😒😒 I don’t want a fckn card
I don’t either. Like, I never used those cards or even care about myfaction it’s useless to me honestly.
Too late to add another superstar at this point.
Let’s make it where the nwo actually jumps people and recruit people to factions how about that
