WWE/Pat McAfee Show

A WWE star has responded again to Pat McAfee Show co-host Ty Schmit referring to the NXT roster as ‘nobodies’ amid WWE 2K24 controversy.

The latest DLC pack for WWE 2K24 is set to release next week, and it will go down as arguably the most controversial DLC pack in the history of WWE 2k.

The pack will see Raw announcer Pat McAfee added to the game, alongside his fellow Pat McAfee Show co-hosts Boston Connor, Ty Schmit, AJ Hawk and Darius Butler.

Many fans have expressed their dissatisfaction with the pack, believing that non-wrestlers such as Connor, Schmit, Hawk and Butler are taking spots away from current stars not featured on the roster, mainly from NXT.

In a clip from the recent episode of the Pat McAfee Show where they discussed their inclusion in WWE 2K24, Ty Schmit commented on the fan backlash to their inclusions, noting that ‘people want NXT nobodies’ on the roster that ‘nobody wants to play as’.

As covered previously, this prompted a response from NXT star Karmen Petrovic, who fired back at the comments, saying:

God forbid fans want to play with wrestlers in a wrestling game 😉

& put some respect on #WWENXT

However, Petrovic didn’t finish there as she then posted a follow-up as you can see below:
