Since August 31, 2018, the WWE 2K19 Twitter account has been revealing the in-game ratings for the game's roster. The most recent pair of WWE Superstars to get rated is the Bulgarian Brute and the Ravishing Russian, Rusev and Lana.First up is Rusev, a two time WWE United States champion and a Slammy award-winning wrestler, received a rating of 84; he received the same rating in last year's release. In her WWE 2K debut as a playable character, Lana received a rating of 70.
So, what did these two have to say about their ratings? Rusev posted on his personal Twitter stating, "don't worry Rusev Day fans, it's all political!" On the other hand, Lana was a bit more disheartened by the reveal. Not because she was rated low but because she claims she has never wrestled in the gear pictured in WWE 2K19's tweet.
Since the WWE 2K19 rating reveal started, 16 wrestlers, which includes Rusev and Lana, have been assigned rating with the highest being AJ Styles thus far. Here is the current list:
- Rusev - 84
- Lana - 70
- Shayna Baszler - 81
- Kyle O'Reilly - 79
- Adam Cole - 81
- Bobby Fish - 77
- Kairi Sane - 79
- Montez Ford - 72
- Angelo Dawkins - 72
- Finn Balor - 85
- Velveteen Dream - 80
- Braun Strowman - 89
- Liv Morgan - 71
- Ruby Riott - 80
- Sarah Logan - 70
- AJ Styles - 91
Over the past couple of weeks, over 100 wrestlers from Raw, SmackDown Live, NXT, and 205 Live have been revealed roughly 20-minute videos hosted by Rusev and Lana. Much of the current on-screen roster made it into the game including Shinsuke Nakamura, Seth Rollins, Becky Lynch, and "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey.
