5 Superstars That Deserved To Be On The Cover Of WWE 2K19 More then AJ Styles

AJ Styles, WWE 2K19,
Did WWE make the right choice for their WWE 2K19 cover boy?

Call it hurt feelings, but WWE passed over several deserving superstars to make AJ Styles the cover superstar of WWE 2K19. While AJ Styles is also very deserving of the honor of cover superstar, there will still others who surpassed him this year. Not only that, there were also superstars that would be capable of helping WWE sell more copies of the video game then AJ Styles could.

Sportskeeda is the one-stop destination for latest WWE rumors and wrestling news.

With that being said and the dirty deed done by WWE over the past week by naming Styles there cover boy of WWE 2K19, here are five superstars that deserved it just a little bit more than The Phenomenal one. Of course, everyone is entitled to their opinion and you are certainly entitled to yours as well, but try to see it from a different perspective.


#5 Ronda Rousey

Ronda Rousey,
WWE really should have considered Ronda Rousey for the cover of WWE 2K19!

Not only does Ronda Rousey have a ton of crossover appeal as a former UFC competitor and a mainstream media darling, she is also arguably one of the most interesting things about The WWE right now. Of course, a lot of that has to do with her thrilling tag team match against Triple H and Stephanie McMahon at WrestleMania 34, but she is quickly gaining steam as a title competitor as well.

In the end, she would have made WWE 2k19 relevant in a way that has not been done before and probably solidified herself as a prominent spokesperson for the company as well. The decision would have also helped to sell the eventual title matches that are to come between Rousey and The Raw Women's roster, which could be a turning point for WWE.

#4 The Undertaker

The Undertaker,
Why didn't WWE put The Undertaker on the cover of 2k19?

While WWE did already dedicate a previous collectors edition of the video game to The Undertaker in the past, it would probably be smart for the company to do it again. In fact, with Undertaker not having many more matches left in his career, it would be a pretty interesting way to promote his final few bouts and sell the video game at the same time.

With that being said, WWE could even add in a story mode that centers around The Undertaker, which would allow for fans to see their favorite Undertaker moments come to life one more time. They could also have a career mode for fans that specifically follows Undertaker as a rookie and see if the gamer can match his legendary record.

#3 Finn Balor

Finn Balor,
Finn Balor seems to be repeatedly passed up for the cover of WWE 2K games.

Finn Balor might not have the same stat sheet that Styles does, but he does rival the phenomenal in crowd appeal. Not only that, having a game mode constructed around Balor winning and retaining The Universal Title in some kind of career mode could be a fun way to promote the game.

In the end, Balor might not be the household name that Styles, Undertaker and several other entries on this list might have, but he is one of the most popular among fans and could be the company's next big thing if they push him right. Balor could also help The WWE appeal to a variety of mainstream demographics, which would be another good thing for the company.

#2 Bruan Strowman

Bruan Strowman,
Will WWE 2k19 get these hands for not putting Bruan Strowman on the cover?

Does anyone else feel WWE doesn't have much faith in their big guy? Of course their are several better options for a cover Superstar from a marketing standpoint than Strowman, wouldn't the company want to put him as the cover guy to show he is the next big thing? Not only does this show a lack of faith by WWE, it also seems to point at Strowman not being the top guy in the future.

Maybe that will change as time goes on and WWE figures out how to book The Monster among men past his stereotypical one liners to be the big babyface the company needs, but not having him on the cover speaks volumes to his role as top face. In fact, it could mean that Strowman ends up being just another big man that eventually burns out or WWE gives up on.

#1 Alexa Bliss/ Charlotte

Alexa Bliss,
Why wasn't a female superstar like Alexa Bliss
chosen
for the cover of WWE 2K19?

Both women have played a monumental role in The Women's revolution and continue to do so today as top superstars on Raw and Smackdown Live. Not only are these the only two superstars so far to win both The Raw and Smackdown Live women's title since the brand split, they are also some of the best female superstars the company has had in quite a long time.

In the end, both these women breath energy into the company in ways that were previously unheard of. They are beautiful, athletic, and vicious when they need to play the heel role. In fact, Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss and countless other female superstars have gotten WWE and fans to respect female wrestling more than ever and that's a pretty big accomplishment!
