WWE 2K20

Unused Models#

Present in the files is a model of Hulk Hogan wearing his NWO attire. The attire is not accessible in the game so it goes unused. The model is used in WWE 2K22 as content included in its "NWO 4-Life" edition.

A model of "Macho Man" Randy Savage that appears to be a different version of him, sporting a completely different face. WWE2K20_Unused_MachoMan.jpg

Originally, Nikki Cross was supposed to be in WWE 2K19, but later ended up being removed from the game. Her character model is present in the files of 2K20. WWE2K20_NikkiCross.jpg

Ribbie's True Identity#

Removing the costume from the MyCareer mode character, “Ribbie”, reveals a fully-modeled face underneath. Initially, this was thought of by fans to resemble former WWE wrestler James Ellsworth, despite Ellsworth being released from the company in 2018.

Ribbie actually uses a more simplified version of the “Director” NPC character model, who appears during Chapter 11 of MyCareer.

Unmasked Masked Wrestlers#

Some of the masked wrestlers actually had their face scanned into the game. As you may expect, these are normally hidden by their mask.

Kane
Kane's face scan retains the bloody red eyes, probably due to the fact he had to wear facepaint to hide his face to wear his mask better. But he's scarier without it on~

Rey Mysterio
Rey's forehead is way too big without his mask.
