The Ultimate Contenders for WWE 2K24 Cover Star: Who Will Reign Supreme?

The Bloodline and Judgment Day, two of WWE's most prominent factions, make for compelling choices as cover stars for WWE 2K24. With such a vast roster of wrestlers across three brands, these groups have established themselves as fixtures in the WWE universe, and their recognition on the cover would be well-deserved. As WWE 2K20's reception was less than desirable, the series has bounced back with the last two entries, offering solid gameplay and a focus on simulation-style wrestling. The games also feature story modes for player-created characters and showcases highlighting the careers of featured wrestlers. While the formula may not have changed much with recent showcases, such as those featuring Rey Mysterio and John Cena, the series continues to thrive.

WWE 2K24's Cover Should Feature One of the Company's Premier Factions

The Bloodline undoubtedly deserves a spot on the cover of WWE 2K24, particularly if the game features a Showcase mode centered around factions. Roman Reigns' recent heel turn has breathed new life into his career, and his leadership of The Bloodline alongside his real-life relatives Solo Sikoa and The Usos has been nothing short of dominant. With every member of the group currently or formerly holding a championship title, it's clear that The Bloodline has earned their place among the top factions in WWE.

Meanwhile, Judgment Day is another faction that should be considered for the cover. Led by Edge and featuring the highest-rated member in WWE 2K23, Rhea Ripley, this group of heels has a more anarchic, punkish vibe than The Bloodline. Ripley's recent victory over Charlotte for the SmackDown Women's Championship only adds to their appeal. Although they've only been around for a short time, Judgment Day has already had a memorable impact on the company, making them a strong contender for the cover of WWE 2K24.

Having a faction as the cover star for WWE 2K24 presents exciting gameplay possibilities, particularly in the career mode where players can have a stable of playable wrestlers instead of just one. This concept has been successfully implemented in past WWE games, such as WWE 2K20's story and WWE 2K13's Attitude Era mode. By putting a stable front and center, WWE games could take a step forward in providing players with a more immersive and engaging experience. With many choices available for the cover star, including past wrestlers, WWE 2K24 has the potential to hit the ground running if it chooses the right representation for the game. While little information has been revealed about the game, speculation about the cover stars has already begun. To showcase WWE's current top stars, The Bloodline or Judgment Day would make excellent choices for the cover.
