Many WWE stars made their video game debut in this year’s WWE 2K23 video game that released back in March.
As well as the playable characters, other stars made appearances in the games MyFaction mode, and one name made their video game debut in the latest update.
Greg Miller, who hosts WWE’s ‘This Is Awesome’ show, as well as appearing on numerous kick-off show panels, took to Twitter to react to him being added to the mode as a manager.
He said:
My entire life has revolved around video games, and a HUGE part of that has been WWE video games. Getting Royal Rumble on Genesis Christmas morning, finding a store breaking WrestleMania 2000’s street date, hearing the SmackDown menu music in my dorm and running down the hall until I found the game and my future friend — wrestling games make up some of my favorite gaming memories.
Next week, I’ll appear in a WWE video game. You can get your Greg Miller manager card in WWE 2K23’s My Faction mode starting on June 9th.
Since I started hosting WWE #ThisIsAwesome (Available now on Peacock! Lol), people have asked me what it’s like working for WWE. What I tell them is that it’s literally a dream come true. Like, I knew I was going to cover video games in the 4th grade. That was an obtainable career that I saw a path to; it never felt out of reach.
Being a WWE Superstar? That’s something I said would never happen and just had the occasional daydream about. In fewer than 365 days working with WWE, I’ve done 13 episodes of my original WWE show, been on SummerSlam, been on both nights of WrestleMania, worked backstage, interviewed countless Superstars, feuded with JBL, and am now *IN* a WWE video game.
I can never thank you enough for making my wildest dreams just another day at the office. I am forever in your debt. @WWE @WWEgames @peacock @WWENetwork @mikethemiz
The latest WWE 2K23 DLC pack was released last month, and featured the debut appearances for Pretty Deadly and Tiffany Stratton, as well as the return to the series for Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson.
