WWE 2K19 Standard Edition will hit the stores on 9 October 2018 for PC, Xbox One and PS4 while the Deluxe and the Wooooo! editions were released four days early on 5 October 2018. This year's game is unlike any other WWE 2K game as it features a massive roster of over 200 superstars, including Ronda Rousey, John Cena and Romain Reigns, along with some of the greats of the past. Furthermore, the game also features a tonne of improvements to the gameplay, reworking the in-ring action, animations and player movements, bringing the game one step closer to authentic WWE action.
The Universe mode makes a return to the game, where one could create their own matches and storylines for a truly immersive experience. As Ronda Rousey (the highest-rated female superstar in the game) makes a debut in this game, one would want to definitely create a host of matches and storylines that revolve around the successful title defence of the Raw Women's Champion, and in this article, let us look closer at the five superstars you must battle while playing as Ronda Rousey.
#5 Ember Moon - 81 Overall
Ember Moon has established herself as one of the most proficient superstars in the business. She has laid waste to many of the top talents, including the former women's champion Alexa Bliss.
Using the customisation abilities of the game, one could set up a classic feud between Ember Moon and Ronda Rousey that would involve a slew of interesting confrontations along with a host of match types. One could build up a deeply personal rivalry between the two before they face off against each other at a pay-per-view for the Raw Women's Championship.
#4 Sasha Banks - 81 Overall
Sasha Banks would be a perfect opponent for Ronda Rousey in WWE 2K19. The four-time Raw Women's Champion has four titles to her name and has established time and time against as one of the best in the business. Her fantastic technical ability, combined with her tremendous resilience make her more than a match for Rousey.
An iron man match between the two in real-life would be a dream match for many wrestling fans as Sasha Banks performed exceptionally well against Charlotte Flair at Roadblock: End of the Line. Replicating this match against Ronda Rousey in the game for the Raw Women's Championship would be a spectacular scene that pushes both the superstars to the limit.
#3 Alexa Bliss - 85 Overall
The current programming in WWE ended the matches between Alexa Bliss and Ronda Rousey as a one-sided affair, asserting the dominance of the former UFC fighter.
However, battling Alexa Bliss in the game could turn out to become an interesting affair as the Goddess features 85 overall, which puts her toe-to-toe with Ronda Rousey's 87 overall. In WWE 2K19, a match between these two would be an intriguing case as the two contrasting wrestling styles of the superstars could bring in a whole lot of character to the match, let it be a falls count anywhere match or a steel cage match.
#2 Shayna Baszler - 81 Overall
Shayan Baszler, like Ronda Rousey, is a former MMA fighter, who currently plies her trade in WWE's development territory, NXT. Not to forget, she is a former NXT Women's Champion.
Baszler makes her debut in WWE 2K19 as a playable character on the massive roster, allowing one to set-up matches and an effective storyline that revolves around an intense rivalry between these two extremely talented superstars. Furthermore, having iconic matches for the Women's Championship between the two former MMA superstars would introduce a very good crossover between MMA and professional wrestling.
#1 Charlotte Flair - 85 Overall
This would be an absolute thriller, and we would hope that WWE schedules this match further down the line. Since Charlotte is part of the Blue Brand, we would have to wait at least a year before these two titans collide in real-life.
Charlotte Flair holds a record number of championship titles and is a very strong and clever competitor in the ring. Battling her with Ronda Rousey, especially with a higher difficulty setting in the game, could open up a range of possibilities, which might resemble the incredible match between Charlotte and Asuka at WrestleMania 34.
Scheduling a submission match would be equally fun as both the Superstars feature signature submission moves.
