The Season Pass adds fan-favorite wrestlers to the game. It includes current Superstars and legends. Players can expand the already large base roster. New wrestlers get released over time through content packs.

Some Key Names Making Their Return

Several standout names on the Season Pass list are wrestlers who have been missing from the WWE 2K games for quite some time.

One of the most anticipated returns is CM Punk, who will headline the “ECW Punk Pack” coming in May. Punk has not been featured since WWE 2K15 in 2014 when he was prominently featured on the cover. His return to a WWE game coincides with his return to wrestling after a 7-year absence.

Other blasts from the past include Lex Luger, who hasn’t appeared since 2007’s SmackDown vs Raw 2008, and The Great Muta, who wrestled primarily in Japan but was a major star in WCW during the 1990s. Their additions will satisfy fans who want to see more legends and Hall of Famers in the roster.

The Season Pass also brings back tag teams like The Headbangers and the Dudley Boyz, who were staples of the “Attitude Era” WWE in the late 1990s. Fans of that time period will enjoy having those classic duos back in the fold.

Notable First-Time Inclusions

In addition to the returns, WWE 2K24’s Season Pass has some significant first-time wrestlers. The most prominent name making her debut is AEW star Jade Cargill, who will join current AEW Champion Jon Moxley as representatives of All Elite Wrestling.

Popular sports entertainer Pat McAfee is another major first-timer. McAfee has become a recurring part of WWE programming over the past couple years as an announcer and part-time wrestler. His pack will include playable co-hosts from his sports talk show.

The Season Pass also has some NXT standouts like Lyra Valkyria getting their first shot in WWE 2K. These new faces will help freshen up the roster and offer variety for players.

Addressing Roster Gaps

A concern some fans expressed about WWE 2K24’s initial roster reveal was the absence of certain current Superstars who are no longer with WWE. Names like Braun Strowman, Bray Wyatt, and Jeff Hardy were cut due to their real-life WWE releases over the past year.

The Season Pass aims to fill some of those holes by including recently released stars like Nia Jax and Kairi Sane. While it can’t add everyone, bringing back even a couple of the missing names will be appreciated by players.

The Limited NXT Presence

One roster area the Season Pass doesn’t significantly improve is the NXT brand. Lyra Valkyria stands out as the only NXT representative currently announced for the additional content.

NXT has grown into WWE’s beloved third brand, and fans would certainly enjoy seeing more of its unique characters. Hopefully, WWE 2K24 can still deliver a few more NXT standouts through future content updates.

The Season Pass Addition Frenzy

WWE 2K24’s initial roster reveal of over 200 names is chaotic, with many feeling it is overcrowding and missing obvious inclusions. The Season Pass almost adds to that frenzy by cramming in over 20 additional wrestlers.

On one hand, it’s impressive that the game seeks to include so many different Superstars from WWE’s past and present. However, it runs the risk of adding quantity over quality. With over 200 wrestlers already confirmed for the base game, 25 more for DLC may be overkill.

In the end, WWE 2K24’s Season Pass includes a little something for all types of wrestling game fans. Current Superstars, legends, women, tag teams, and hardcore icons—they are all represented throughout the planned content releases. It may not be perfect, but it aims to bolster the roster in key areas following the initial reveal. Old favorites like CM Punk and Lex Luger will excite longtime fans, while first-timers like Pat McAfee and Jade Cargill add new flavors. The Season Pass succeeds in its goal of expanding an already gigantic base roster.
