Rollins mentioned that he has played video games his entire life and to see his face on the cover is weird for him. He also sent out a tweet expressing his gratitude for this opportunity:
Thank you @2K and @espn! Huge honor to be on the cover of this year's game. Be like no one. pic.twitter.com/4Cov9HjVVB

The “Kingslayer” joins the ranks of such superstars and legends as Brock Lesnar, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, John Cena, The Rock, CM Punk, Randy Orton and others to be included on the cover of the WWE 2K series.
Rollins has most recently been in a program with Bray Wyatt and the two are expected to square off at “Great Balls of Fire.”
Editor’s Note:
Awesome. Rollins has been one of the most important parts of WWE’s programming for the last several years, and has earned his place as one of the top performers in the company. If anyone deserves this honor, it is him. Congratulations to the “Kingslayer” for this well-deserved recognition!
