5 Wrestlers Who've Featured In Non-Wrestling Video Games
Over the years I've been a massive fan of WWE and wrestling games in general. From SmackDown 2: Here Comes The Pain and WCW Nitro which I started with to WWE RAW and to the current and slightly disappointing WWE 2K series, I've played them all. However, today we'll take a look at something slightly different - wrestlers who appeared innon-wrestling related games.

We're used to seeing our favourite WWE Superstars in the annual edition of WWE 2K. We don't usually see WWE Superstars star in non-WWE related video games except for some rare exceptions, most of them taking place when said Superstar wasn't signed to a WWE contract.
Over the years, a number of non-WWE Superstars have been included as playable characters in WWE games including The Terminator and Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit. The next iteration of the WWE 2K series, WWE 2K19 has AJ Styles on its cover. It will be interesting to see if the game has a story mode like WWE 2K16.
We all know CM Punk was in UFC 2 so he won't be included in this list. So, let's take a look at some other WWE Superstars, past and present, who have starred in video games that are completely unrelated to the WWE.
From Hulk Hogan to Roman Reigns, and from the unplayable to games that are truly fun, let's take a look at the list.

5: 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper - Saints Row The Fourth
The late great Roddy Piper made an appearance in Saints Row The Fourth as a part of the vice-president's nightmare.
Piper helps the player thrash the Vice President - Keith David - until he reveals where Kinzie is. Piper never appears outside the nightmare and later wonders if he is actually real.
Overall, Saints Row 4 was a fun game even though it didn't break much new ground. The follow-up spin-off Agents of Mayhem, however, was bland and even though it was set in the Saints Row Universe, was generally uninteresting.
