WWE 2K19 To Feature The Game Debuts Of NXT UK Superstars

With the next set of tapings for the WWE’s new NXT UK brand taking place today in Birmingham, England, 2K Games has begun to announce some of the roster for the upcoming WWE 2K19 game, set to be released worldwide on October 5th.

One glaring omission from last year’s game that many fans wanted was the inclusion of the United Kingdom Division, which has of course now been rebranded as NXT UK. Today those fans got some great news as the first two members of the WWE 2K19 roster were revealed in cohesion with the NXT UK tapings as the current United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate will be making their WWE game debuts:
