Becky Lynch, Roman Reigns announced as WWE 2K20 cover Superstars

August 5, 2019

For the cover of WWE 2K20, 2K will prove that two cover Superstars are better than one.

2K officially unveiled Becky Lynch and Roman Reigns as the cover Superstars of the upcoming edition of the WWE video game franchise. The world-renowned video game publisher confirmed its historic selection and other details about WWE 2K20, including the worldwide release date on Oct. 22, 2019.

WWE 2K20 marks the first time either The Man or The Big Dog will grace the cover of a WWE 2K video game. It also officially puts the current Raw Women’s Champion in the trailblazing position of being the first female Superstar to be selected by 2K for this prestigious honor.

“My career has been about breaking barriers and doing what nobody else has done before,” Lynch said in the press release. “Being the first female Superstar on the cover of a WWE 2K video game is no exception.”

Lynch and Reigns can now count themselves among a small but significant group of grapplers who previously served as the face of the WWE 2K franchise. 2K’s past choices for the coveted role include “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, The Rock, John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins and last year’s cover Superstar, AJ Styles.

  • The return of WWE Towers mode, including an all-new Tower inspired by the storied career of Roman Reigns.
