Unleashing the Untamed: WWE 2K24 Set to Soar with This Superstar's Spectacular Ascendance
WWE 2K24 has a golden opportunity to capitalize on the meteoric rise of LA Knight, whose electrifying presence and captivating persona make him the perfect candidate for the game's cover star, promising an unforgettable gaming experience
Highlights
With LA Knight's explosive popularity and dominance in merchandise sales, featuring him on the cover of WWE 2K24 could be a big boon for the game.
In LA Knight's Showcase Mode, fans can relive his finest moments and personal favorites from his extensive history in WWE, including his memorable appearances at past events. Featuring LA Knight on the cover of WWE 2K24 can further contribute to WWE's efforts in promoting this talented superstar, while also highlighting his remarkable performances in NXT.
According to fan speculation, the winner of the Summerslam Battle Royal may join the United States Championship title match on Smackdown. There is a belief that LA Knight, the potential winner of the Battle Royal, could take the title from Austin Theory, highlighting his growing popularity. WWE 2K24, although not yet announced, is an annualized franchise and could benefit from featuring LA Knight as the cover star. While other candidates such as The Bloodline or Judgment Day are also viable options, LA Knight would bring a pleasant surprise to the game.
LA Knight: The YEAH! Movement
LA Knight's explosive popularity makes him a perfect choice for the cover of WWE 2K24. Fans have been pushing for him to have better matches and title shots, which can be attributed to his excellent promo skills. His recent dominance in merch sales on the WWE website, surpassing competition like Cody Rhodes, The Bloodline, and Judgment Day, only adds to his popularity. It's clear that featuring LA Knight on the cover of the game could attract more sales.
Moreover, the catchphrase "YEAH!" is ideal as a tagline for a WWE game. In his Showcase Mode, players could experience his promo skills and delve into his history through matches against Cameron Grimes, his Last Man Standing Match against Waller, his Standard & Deliver match against Gunther, and more. Though some may argue that he has fewer definitive matches compared to other superstars, Visual Concepts could showcase their creativity by including some of his favorite matches throughout wrestling history, showcasing why they inspired him to become a WWE Superstar. Alternatively, the game could explore hypothetical matches against legends like Stone Cold or The Rock, capitalizing on recent discussions around these iconic figures.
Including LA Knight's NXT matches in WWE 2K24 would not only align with WWE's goal of elevating NXT, but also contribute to LA Knight's push and overall success. It is clear that WWE aims to establish NXT on the same level as Raw or Smackdown, as evident from Judgment Day's presence and Dirty Dom's North American championship victory. By featuring LA Knight in the game, it not only benefits WWE 2K24, but also strengthens the push for LA Knight and NXT. This move would be a win-win situation for everyone involved. Additionally, considering LA Knight's growing popularity, one can argue that his best days are still ahead of him. It is believed that WWE is currently in a holding pattern with the intention of giving LA Knight a genuine push in the near future. Including LA Knight in WWE 2K24 or having early discussions about his involvement in WWE 2K25 would be a strategic and wise move.
WWE 2K24 is not confirmed to be in development.
