#5 Becky Lynch is the new Steve Austin, not Kevin Owens
WWE 2K20 will not become available until October 22nd, but the video game has already made history in its initial announcement.
For the first time in video game franchise history, a female WWE Superstar will grace the cover of the game as Becky Lynch, known as The Man in WWE, will be a cover star along with Roman Reigns.
The game also makes history as it becomes the first in the franchise to feature two Superstars on the cover, as all previous incarnations of the game only featured one Superstar.
Lynch and Reigns now join elite company in “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, The Rock, John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins and AJ Styles as video game cover stars.
Judging by the cover release video, Lynch is certainly being positioned as the new Steve Austin in WWE, entering the video to the famous sound of "glass breaking", which catches the attention of Austin himself, who is featured in the video.
