Most of the ratings are fair, but some of them have not gone over well with the community. They believe that certain superstars have not been treated correctly, and warrant a higher rating. In fact, there are quite a few superstars who deserve higher ratings inWWE 2K23.
9Bianca Belair (95)
Bianca Belair is arguably the most adored female superstar in WWE. She is the current RAW Women’s Champion. Bianca Belair is an exceptionally talented wrestler, and her style mainly relies on overpowering her opponents.
Despite being in her first reign, Bianca Belair has impressed the audience a lot. She won the Royal Rumble in 2021 and dethroned Sasha Banks at WrestleMania 37. Since then, Bianca Belair has defended her title successfully against Becky Lynch, who is surprisingly rated higher than her. Given Bianca’s accomplishments, she should at least be rated 96 like Becky Lynch.
8Gunther (89)
Gunther is the current WWE Intercontinental Champion. He won the title after defeating Ricochet in June 2022. Gunther defended his title against Ricochet, Sheamus, Rey Mysterio, and Braun Strowman.

Almost all of Gunther’s matches have been of the highest quality. Atthe 2023 Royal Rumble, Gunther was the first entrant, and he lasted for a whopping 71 minutes and 25 seconds. Gunther has also broken the record for the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion of the 21st century. All in all, Gunther’s reign as the Intercontinental Champion has been outstanding, so he should have cracked the 90s.
7Asuka (89)
Asuka is signed to RAW, and she is thewinner of the 2023 Elimination Chamber. Her victory meant that she became the first woman to win the Elimination Chamber, Royal Rumble, and Money in the Bank matches.
Asuka’s in-ring skills are incredible, and all her matches have been extremely exciting. Asuka is going to fight against Bianca Belair at the upcoming WrestleMania, and the fans are expecting it to be an all-time classic. Asuka’s efforts in the last year are enough to warrant a rating of at least 90.
6Sami Zayn (84)
Sami Zayn is arguably the most popular superstar in WWE at the moment. He has always been a great competitor, but his fame really took off when he joined the Bloodline. Sami Zayn added another dimension to the Bloodline, and after spending a few months with the group, he became its most popular member.
Sami Zayn was recently involved in a classic match at the Elimination Chamber with Roman Reigns. Most fans wanted Sami to end Roman’s dominance, but sadly, it didn’t come to pass. Bearing in mind what Sami has achieved, the meager 84 rating in2K’s latest wrestling gamedoesn’t do him justice at all.
5Rhea Ripley (90)
Rhea Ripley is a member of The Judgment Day, which has become an infamous faction within WWE. She has a strong physical presence, and she has overwhelmed all of her opponents, demonstrating just how strong a wrestler she really is.

During the latest Royal Rumble, Rhea Ripley became the first woman wrestler to win the competition while being the first entrant. Following her victory, Ripley chose tofight Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania 39, and it promises to be an outstanding match. Rhea has been given a rating of 90, which is not bad by any means. However, given that Flair has a rating of 94, her opponent should be around 92.
4Dolph Ziggler (83)
Dolph Ziggler is the ultimate professional. He has been responsible for some of the biggest and most watched matches in the last decade. His efforts in the 5 vs. 5 Elimination Tag Team match against the Authority will never be forgotten.
Ziggler is known for his athleticism and his ability to sell a move. Sadly, Dolph Ziggler has been kept away from the main events, but his talent is still there. There is no doubt that he deserves a much higher rating than 83.
3Solo Sikoa (82)
Solo Sikoa has been an integral member of the Bloodline for quite some time. He is the enforcer for the group, and he is fiercely loyal to Roman Reigns. Whenever Solo has been called upon, he has always delivered.
Aside from his interesting persona, Solo Sikoaalso has great wrestling skills. The other three members of The Bloodline are either in the 90s or close to it, which makes it extremely harsh to give Solo Sikoa a rating of 82.
2LA Knight (81)
LA Knight has become quite a phenomenon in a very short period of time. Every time he makes an appearance, the crowd goes wild, and it’s mainly due to his promos. LA Knight’s mic skills are truly special, and if he continues down the same path, his reputation will only soar higher.
LA Knight is one of the few wrestlers who is blessed with both mic and in-ring skills. In his short time in the industry, he has put up some great matches, with the latest coming against Bray Wyatt. LA Knight is among the five people fighting to compete for a shot at Gunther’s Intercontinental Championship. A superstar like him deserves a much better rating.
1Shelton Benjamin (79)
Shelton Benjamin has a case for being the most underrated superstar in the industry. In the last decade, there have been very few WWE superstars that have the same level of professionalism and athleticism as Shelton Benjamin.
Whenever he has stepped inside the ring, he has performed miraculous stunts that are very hard for most wrestlers. Shelton Benjamin might not be in the spotlight anymore, but he certainly deserves a much higher rating than 79.
WWE 2K23releases on July 12, 2025, on PC, Xbox X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4.
