WWE 2K22 cover rumors swirl after post by Rey Mysterio

Back when the WWE 2K22 feature reveal trailer was released, the message of that time was more reveals wouldn't be coming until January 2022.

However, even that new trailer seemed to break with original plans to start announcing game details in January, and we might have another big piece of the puzzle landing soon.

While this is just an unconfirmed rumor at this time, many are discussing the possibility of a cover reveal thanks to this tweet by WWE legend Rey Mysterio:

While there's no mention of WWE 2K22 in the tweet, it didn't take long for fans to speculate as multiple replies suggested it could be about a WWE 2K22 cover reveal.

No official news has circulated as of yet regarding the WWE 2K22 cover star, but with original plans to release in October it's unlikely they don't already have these details set in stone.

While there was some expectation that the cover itself wouldn't be revealed until the January announcements along with key details like platforms and release date, but Visual Concepts could be eager to keep the conversation going.

Rey Mysterio will be center stage in new WWE 2K22 Showcase

One thing we already know is that Rey Mysterio has been a central focus of WWE 2K22 throughout development and is getting his own Showcase.

Beginning with the very first teaser for WWE 2K22, Rey Mysterio has been included as part of every single trailer with a major focus on the details of his in-game model.

Based on the earliest shots of Rey Mysterio in the original teaser, we know that they filmed extra footage highlighting the legendary luchador.

THE SPOTLIGHT: All eyes will be on Rey Mysterio in WWE 2K22

We saw more unique footage in the feature reveal trailer, as the news on his WWE 2K22 Showcase gave a glimpse of unique interviews with Mysterio.

With this much attention already being centered on Rey Mysterio for the game, it would be a no-brainer for them to extend that into a spot on the cover of WWE 2K22.

Nothing is confirmed just yet, but there's a chance that we'll get some huge WWE 2K22 news on December 9, 2021.
