I had a thought. I wonder if Ezekiel is an alternate attire of Elias, as this video didn't show alternate attires. Maybe 2K figured that, since you never see Elias and his brother Ezekiel on TV together, it would be more realistic to have it be Elias's alternate attire.

[@stephenleblanc8993]

I wonder if they'll be potentially unlockable via MyRise this year or something, similar to how the King of the Ring arena was last year

[@nihlus_6630]

Bruno Sammartino is also missing from the roster. Surely he's in as a legend instead of a myrise unlock. Weird.

Unless Strong is in as a manager (demoted from playable wrestler to manager) due to the fact he was mentoring Diamond Mine and rarely wrestled at that time. We don't know the 2K23 managers as the manager list wasn't shown so that is where Strong and Sanga if they are in 2K23 anywhere are likely to be. So far we only know that Scarlett and Paul Heyman are in 2K23 and from the unlockables that Bobby Heenan, Triple H (Manager) and Eric Bischoff are in 2K23 as managers too along with B-Fab being in 2K23 as a DLC manager.

I'm genuinely shocked they didn't remove most of the unlockables from 2k22. Unmasked Kane is still in. Holy shit.

I think I'll just wait for the next one. They barely changed anything

There’s one thing I wished they change from the menu, the sound it makes when you scroll through, it’s really minute but I just wanna hear something else

Would’ve been nice for the advanced pin & submission settings to have a cleaner explanation under them. Glad to see we have them now, though!
