The Rock is somebody that a lot of fans will likely select when playing the game, so giving him a great score will only enhance that situation. Of course, he is also one of the biggest stars in WWE's history, so reflecting that is well-earned.
3 The Undertaker '98 (93)
While The Rock has the best rating of any legend on the standard game, those who pre-ordered WWE 2K22 were given some extra characters. One of those was the '98 version of The Undertaker. This version of the game features six different Undertakers, but this is the strongest of them all.
This was a high point for the character, when he was truly working at a great level within the ring. His gimmick was at a real high point at this point, as he was being pushed heavily, but only certain gamers will be able to use this one.
2 Brock Lesnar (94)
Brock Lesnar has been given a great rating for this game, and he is one of the strongest wrestlers to choose from. The Beast has always been dominant within WWE, therefore it is not a shock to see him rated highly this time around. Brock is a legitimate athlete, and someone who wins the vast majority of his matches.

1 Roman Reigns (95)
Out of everybody in the game, Roman Reigns is the highest-rated character. He has a slight edge ahead of his rival Brock Lesnar, but that isn't a big surprise. The Tribal Chief has been on top of the business for a long time, but his heel turn has taken him to an entirely new level.
Roman is deserving of being the top talent within WWE 2K22, and it is one that fans would likely have expected heading into it. He brings a true powerhouse style to the ring, and his overall character work has helped him grow even further, with Reigns set to be a popular choice for gamers.
