WWE 2K23 ratings: every wrestler rating revealed so far
It’s that time of year once more for every wrestling fan to get irrationally annoyed about numbers – no, not the Royal Rumble – it’s the ratings reveal for WWE 2K23. Each year these ratings come out only for fans and wrestlers alike to kick up a fuss about their number not being as high as someone else’s number. Let’s not forget Bret Hart’s infamous tantrum over being rated lower than Triple H in WWE 2K16.
Still, we finally know the full WWE 2K23 roster, and all that we need is the ratings to go along with them. 2K is happy to oblige and through a combination of Twitter and a live stream, has revealed 62 ratings out of the 200 roster members so far, and we’ll give you a rundown on all of them.

It's pretty clear to see that the average rating has dramatically increased in this game. Previously, the highest-rated wrestler tended to sit around 95-96, but now Roman Reigns has truly entered god-mode, holding the world title for over two years, a 99 rating seems appropriate. This means there have been far more gains across the board than losses. That said, the bottom end of the list has seen a fair few losses, but it's nice to see that a broader range of ratings is being utilized for a 200-strong roster.
The two biggest gainers are Bianca Belair and Liv Morgan, which is appropriate. The series had an annoying habit of underrating women wrestlers, but that's thankfully changed now. Belair especially was criminally underrated in 2K22 given her strength as Raw and Smackdown Women's Champions.
Nikki A.S.H and Rick Boogs are tied for the biggest losers, which is a shame. Nikki has abandoned the A.S.H gimmick, and it's a shame that regular Nikki Cross won't be featuring in the game - that said, she hasn't made much of a splash since losing the Raw Women's Championship in the summer of 2021. Rick Boogs also spent most of 2022 off TV thanks to an injury, so it isn't a surprise he isn't highly rated this time around.
