WWE 2K23 fans spot new ring announcer and referee in Showcase trailer WWE\/2K SportsSharp WWE 2K23 fans have spotted Greg Hamilton\u2019s replacement as ring announcer as well as a brand new referee in the upcoming game. WWE 2K23 made a splash with its brand-new Showcase trailer. The mode will put players in the shoes of John Cena\u2019s opponents in all of his most legendary matches. Major WWE stars like The Rock, Roman Reigns, and Dave Bautista all take center stage as fans relive the biggest moments of Cena\u2019s storied career. What fans found most interesting though was not the wrestlers themselves, but the people elsewhere in the arena as a new generic referee and a familiar face at ringside are bringing a new look to the familiar formula WWE 2K23 fans spot new ring announcer and referee in trailer For the first time (outside of Special Guest scenarios), WWE 2K23 will feature a woman serving in the role of referee. While the game doesn\u2019t incorporate the likeness of actual officiants like Smackdown\u2019s Jessika Carr, the implementation of women in the role does match up to the current product that\u2019s on TV. Some fans were worried that this will disrupt the continuity of the Showcase mode given that this new ref will be featured in matches that were actually overseen by men, but given that the referees have never been accurate in the 2K series, not much has changed on that front. \u201cWe don\u2019t get real refs in 2K games, we shouldn\u2019t expect them to match the highlights, they never do,\u201d one player stated. Elsewhere, fans noticed that longtime voice Greg Hamilton wasn\u2019t shown in this trailer, with his friend and current announcer RAW announcer Mike Rome taking the reins. Hamilton was released from the company back in 2021 and Rome has served as his replacement for most of that time. Samantha Irvin, the voice of the company\u2019s blue brand, notably didn\u2019t make an appearance in this trailer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
