While 2K has held the rights to the WWE games since 2013, the actual main series began in 2000 with WWF SmackDown. Since thenꦓ, the series has gone through many changes. One of the bigges💦t additions occurred in Here Comes The Pain when wrestler ratings were added to the game.
This allowed the developers to provide a more accurate representation of the WWE product as🦂 no longer was everyone at a similar level. Now, people who dominated on TV also had more chance of dominating in-game. Over the years, those big stars have regularly received strong rating🍬s from the developers. But which are the highest rated of all time?
10 Shawn Michaels (WWE '12) - 96
Shawn Michaels retired for the second time in 2010. Therefore, in WWE '12, he was in the game as a legend as opposed to a regular roster member. This can sometimes boost a wrestler's rating, which was the case for Michaels.
His impressive score of 96 made him better than the 🦋likes of John Cena and Triple H. On top of that, it was the highest rating HBK has ever received in the series. Perhaps the fact he was DLC was another reason he got a bigger rating than usual.
9 John Ce🌼na (WWE 13 And WWE 2K15🍨) - 96
Since ascending to main event status, John Cena has had one of the biggest⭕ ratings in every game - a trend that c🍌ontinued in WWE 2K22. A few of his best ra🅘tings came in the WWꦚE 13 and WWE 2K15 games.
During this period of Cena's career, he was the biggest full-time star WWE had. As such, he was constantly competing for and winning World Championships. So, his 96 rating is no shock. And the fact nobody got a higher rating than him in either game is similarly unsurprising.
8 The Undertaker (SmackDown Vs. Raw 2010 And WWE '12) - 96
On WWE TV, The Undertaker has always been treated as an almost unstoppable force ever since he debuted. As a result, his ratings in the games are always great. His two highest as the dead man version of the character came in SmackDown Vs Raw 2010 and WWE '12.
By the time the latter game was released, he was a part-time wrestler who only appeared for big events. And during that period, he hardly ever lost. As for his run before SvR 2010's release, he was reigning over SmackDown as the World Champion. So, the high rating was deserved.
7 The Rock (SmackDown Vs. Raw 2008 And WWE '12) - 96
In SmackDown Vs Raw 2008, The Rock was given his customary spot on the l✃egends roster and was the second highest-rated wrestler in the game.
In the build-up to the release of WWE '12, things were a little different for the Hollywood star. He'd been on WWE TV again and even teamed with John Cena against Awesome Truth at Survivor Series. This was all leading to a clash between Rock and Cena at WrestleMania 28, which occurred a few months after this game. As a result, the developers provided fans with a modern-day version of the Brahma Bull and gave him a high rating.
6 Hogan 80s (SmackDown Vs. Raw 2006) - 96 🦋 𝐆
While Hulk Hogan reigned on top of the wrestling world deep into the '90s, his most dominant period arguably came in the '80s. He was WWE's resident hero who toppled every monster or loud-mouth bad guy that dared get in his way.
This version of the Hulkster got a spot on the SvR 06 roster, with an incredible 96 rating. This was the highest rating in the series history at the time. And it was hard t🌺o argue with it as his dominance of the 1980s was clear to see.
5 Stone Cold (SmackDown Vs.🅺 Raw 2🐭010) - 97
As Stone Cold is one of the biggest stars in the history of wrestling, you'd expect him to be the highest-rated wrestler in many of the games, but that's not the case. Of course, he's never among 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the lowest-ranked people, and his number is typically in the '90s.
Yet, there are usually several wrestlers witꦍh higher scores than him. However, things were different in SvR 2010 as he was the joint highest-rated wi♛th a strong 97. He was a DLC character in the game, which may explain why he was better than most.
4 The Rock 🎃ও(SmackDown Vs. Raw 2010) - 97
SmackDown Vs Raw 2010 saw The Rock's return to the series after not being in the previous game. He came back with a bang, too, as the joint highest-rated guy on the roster. He'd already been retired for several years when this game came out, so his strong rating must be based on his overall career.
And looking at his time in the WWE, it's hard to argue against him being among the best. Plus, it's fitting that he has the same score as his long-term rival Stone Cold.
3 John Cena (SmackDown 💜Vs. Raw 2008) - 97
After winning his first World Title back in 2005, Cena spent the next several years establishing himself as the top star. The developers clearly thought he'd accomplished this task by the time SmackDown Vs Raw 2008 came around based on his 97 rating.
It was an understandable score since Cena basically had a stranglehold over the WWE Title around this time. In fact, rarely did a PPV go by where he wasn't either the champion or the number one contender.
2 ꩵ Undertaker (Badass) (SmackDown Vs. Raw 2011) - 98
WWE fans find it hard to agree on the biker version of The Undertaker. Some believe it was nowhere near as iconic as the Dওeadman version, while others think this was Taker at his best. The developers of SmackDown Vs Raw 2011 clearly agree with the latter group because they gave him a rating of 98.
It's an incredible score that no traditional wrestler has ever reached before or since. Interestingly, the regular Undertaker was a whole four points less than this one.
1 ꩵ AJ Styles GOLD (WWE🐲 2K19) - 100

There have been some 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:bizarre unloc𒆙kable wrestlers in WWE ♛games, and golden AJ Styles is one of them. Initially, he was part of a contest called the Million Dolla✱r Challenge, where the winner earned a million dollars - plus they got to play WWE 2K19 against the real AJ Styles.
Even after the competition was over, you could still unlock the gold AJ by completing the AJ Styles Million Dollar Tower. And 𒆙this golden version of the Phenomenal One had an unbelievable rating of 100, which is the highest possible. So, unless they change the rating scale, nobody will ever surpass this shiny man.
