WWE and 2K Games unveiled the full roster ratings for WWE 2K26 on Thursday, and as is tradition, the numbers wasted no time igniting passionate debate across social media.
The highly anticipated ratings reveal — hosted by Joe Tessitore, Big E, and Kevin Owens — covered the entire playable roster ahead of the game's March 13, 2026 release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
Jey Uso Rated Above AJ Styles
Among the more talked-about ratings, Jey Uso checked in at an 91 overall, placing him above veterans like AJ Styles, a placement that drew mixed reactions online.
While Uso has undeniably been one of WWE's hottest babyfaces over the past year, many fans questioned whether the "Main Event" star's stock has truly surpassed that of "The Phenomenal One," who has logged over two decades of elite in-ring work across multiple major promotions.
Jelly Roll Outranks Established Superstars
Perhaps no rating generated more conversation than that of celebrity addition Jelly Roll, the Grammy-nominated rapper and country singer confirmed as a playable character in the game's Celebrities category.
The Nashville-born artist was assigned an 80 overall — higher than several full-time, full-time roster members, including rising star Je'Von Evans, who received a 78.

"The Young OG" has been building momentum on WWE's main roster with notable victories over names like Rey Mysterio and AJ Styles. Fans and fellow WWE talent alike took to social media to express frustration, with many arguing that a performer logging nights in the ring week in and week out deserves recognition over a celebrity appearance, regardless of how beloved Jelly Roll may be.
Another Year...
Ratings controversies are essentially a WWE 2K rite of passage at this point. Every year, the reveal cycle generates its own wave of debates, memes, and hot takes — and in many ways, that engagement is part of the fun.
With Super John Cena rated a perfect 100 overall in the game, and the full roster now public, fans will have plenty to dissect between now and launch day.
