From Press Release email:
Be like no one.
These four simple words likely generate several reactions, but for WWE Superstar Seth Rollins™, they are a master class in describing his unmatched work ethic, disruptive mindset and definitive WWE career.
Since joining WWE in 2010, Rollins has done things on his own terms. Like many claim but never accomplish, he was destined to be different, blaze his own trail and take no prisoners along the way, even if it meant disrespecting history. The first move on Rollinsā chess board: become the inaugural NXTĀ® Champion in 2012 and put everyone on high alert. The second move: make his WWE main roster debut at Survivor SeriesĀ® later that year, align with WWE Superstars Roman Reigns™ and Dean Ambrose™ to form The Shield™ and rally against authority. As the pieces continued moving, the accolades followed: two-time WWE Champion, United States Champion, WWE Tag Team Champion and āMr. Money in the BankĀ®,ā to name a few. And now, āThe Kingslayerā stands tall after a definitive checkmate: defeating Triple HĀ® on WWEās grandest stage at WrestleManiaĀ® 33.
For every calculated action and result, there is no question Rollins will prevail by any means necessary, and in doing so, embody everything it means to be like no one.
In celebration of his in-ring accomplishments and bold individuality, 2KĀ today announced Seth Rollins as the cover Superstar for WWEĀ® 2K18, the forthcoming release in the flagship WWE video game franchise. In addition, Rollins will personify WWE 2K18ās worldwide marketing campaign ā BE LIKE NO ONE ā which invites players to explore Rollinsā identity, as well as those of several other WWE Superstars, while learning more about the game. WWE 2K18 is currently scheduled for worldwide release on October 17, 2017 for the PlayStationĀ®4 computer entertainment system and Xbox One.
āAs the WWE 2K18 cover Superstar and franchise ambassador, it is my incredible honor and mission to ensure this game will truly BE LIKE NO ONE ā a calling card perfect for everything I stand for ā as it sets forth on its own unique path,ā said Seth Rollins. āFollowing in the footsteps of other WWE 2K cover Superstars ā Dwayne āThe RockĀ®ā Johnson, John CenaĀ®, Stone Cold Steve AustinĀ® and Brock LesnarĀ® ā I now carry the torch and proudly represent a new generation of WWE Superstars. I am the future, and the future canāt be stopped.ā
āEach year, the WWE 2K franchise emerges with a unique identity, impeccable authenticity, an incredible roster and the freedom for players to customize and control the virtual WWE world through its extensive offerings,ā said Chris Snyder, Vice President of Marketing at 2K. āIn determining who truly epitomizes BE LIKE NO ONE and represents WWE 2K18 to the fullest extent, there was one obvious answer: Seth āFreakinā Rollins.ā
