The WWE video games have a long history of offering fans extensive character creation tools that allow them to create everything from realistic-looking wrestlers to outlandish fictional characters. The latest WWE video game, WWE 2K22, features some of the most impressive character creation tools to date, allowing fans to really go all-out when making their own wrestlers. Online capabilities allow WWE 2K22 fans to share these creations with others, allowing everyone to get their hands on some rather impressive created wrestlers.
The extent of WWE 2K22's character creation tools was shown off in a viral TikTok video uploaded by user miahmars. At the time of this writing, the video has over 160,000 views, over 8,000 likes, over 300 comments, and over 800 shares. In it, players see a variety of WWE 2K22 created wrestlers duking it out, and it really showcases the incredible range that the game offers to creatively-minded players.
The clip shows created wrestlers styled after Batman, Eminem, God, Joe Biden, and Pinhead from the Hellraiser movies, all fighting each other. Angelo Dawkins and Hulk Hogan are there as well, looking rather out of place among this unique assortment of created wrestlers.
While it's highly unlikely that any of these characters or people will ever make it to WWE 2K22 in an official capacity, the latest game in the series is indeed experimenting with guest stars. The WWE 2K22 DLC packs feature multiple celebrity guest wrestlers, including Mr. T, social media personality Logan Paul, and musician Machine Gun Kelly. Once the WWE 2K22 Machine Gun Kelly DLC is available later this year, players could download the custom Eminem wrestler seen in the video and have the two real-world rivals battle it out in a WWE ring.
Some fans have used WWE 2K22's creation tools to add wrestlers and other content from rival promotions to the game. WWE 2K22 has entrance choreography for Britt Baker and Kenny Omega, making it relatively easy for fans of the game to create custom wrestlers based on those AEW stars, for example.
Besides creating wrestlers, WWE 2K22's customization options allow players to create championship belts, arenas, and more. In fact, one fan went as far as to create accurate AEW arenas in WWE 2K22, which is further proof that the game's customization tools are only limited by players' imaginations. With WWE 2K22 still in its infancy, it will be interesting to see what else fans dream up for the game in the months ahead.
WWE 2K22 is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
