Bobby Roode
The 40-year-old Bobby Roode is a longtime veteran in the wrestling business, but WWE 2K18 will mark his first appearance in a WWE video game.
Roode recently made his long-awaited debut on the main roster as part of SmackDown on the heels of a dominant run in NXT that included a lengthy reign as NXT champion.
There is plenty to like about Roode from his in-ring skill to his ability on the mic, but arguably his best attribute is a glorious entrance that captivates the entire WWE Universe.
WWE 2K18 does an excellent job of bringing the entrance to life virtually, as seen in the following video:
Roode was long considered one of the best wrestlers in the world to never get a proper run in the WWE, but he has taken the ball and run with it since joining the company.
The Canadian continues to prove that he belongs on the big stage, and it likely won't be long before he finds himself in the main event scene on the blue brand.
Until that happens, though, gamers can relive some of his greatest matches in WWE 2K18 and create some new ones that may soon happen in real life as well.
Ember Moon
The WWE boasts perhaps more talent in its women's division than ever before, and a big reason for that is the presence of Ember Moon in NXT.
After a standout independent career, Moon signed with the WWE, and it hasn't taken her long to establish herself as one of the most freakishly athletic Superstars in the company regardless of gender.
Ember also has an intriguing, werewolf-esque character complete with an entrance that the fans always seem to get behind:
Moon has had several memorable matches during her time in NXT, but her most notable battles have come against Asuka.
While Ember fell short in her attempts to beat the Empress of Tomorrow for the NXT Women's Championship, nobody came closer to dethroning her.
One thing that makes Moon such a hugely popular Superstar is her incredible Eclipse finisher, which is a leaping, twisting Stunner off the top rope.
Ember has put away tons of top-level competition with that move, and WWE 2K18 will bring it into the video game world for the first time.
Gran Metalik
The cruiserweight division has several representatives making their video game debut in WWE 2K18, but in terms of playability, Gran Metalik tops the list.
While the Mexican Superstar hasn't received a huge push on Raw or 205 Live yet, his in-ring skills are undeniable. That was on full display during last year's Cruiserweight Classic when he made it all the way to the finals before losing to TJP.
Gran Metalik is an exciting high-flyer with a move set that will allow gamers to do something new and exciting every time they use him.
In many ways, Gran Metalik is an even smoother and better version of the original Sin Cara, and it's almost as if he was meant to be a video game character.
Although Gran Metalik is still finding his footing in the cruiserweight division, gamers will have the luxury of pushing him to the top right away, and even allowing him to mix it up with some of the top Superstars in the WWE regardless of weight.
