WWE 2K20 Major Leaks
All over YouTube and social media, you can find rumors and possible leaks for WWE 2K20. Here’s a quick breakdown of some the most recent rumors and leaks thus far:
- The official announcement expected to be made May 13th, shortly after the company’s earnings call
- Luke Harper likely to be excluded as he announces departure from the company
According to a supposedly leaked document, the following was said to be details about the game:
- “The Man” Becky Lynch set to be the cover superstar of WWE 2K20
- The late Chyna will be a pre-order bonus as the game looks to highlight the rise and evolution of women’s wrestling in its Showcase Mode
- DX themed collector’s edition
- Return of GM mode in MyGM
- Weekly roster reveal to take place August 13th through September 3rd
While these would be great additions to the series, the document that suggested these features turned out to be fake. However, WWE has made a large fuss when it comes to their vast improvements in women’s wrestling. In addition to being in the main event at Wrestlemania, Beck Lynch holds both singles women’s title. She could very well be the next cover star. Furthermore, a showcase mode dedicated to the best women’s wrestling has to offer is not out of the question either.
