As reported by Arcade Sushi, 4 of the NXT divas namely, Sasha Banks, Charlotte, Becky Lynch, and Bayley did not make it to the final roster list. In view of this, WWE and 2K Sports explained such case to a number of disappointed fans.
The official statement reads,
We pushed as hard as we could to include Sasha Banks, Charlotte, Becky Lynch, and Bayley in WWE 2k16, but it simply did not work out for various reasons. While we are not divulging full details on WWE 2K16's post-launch plans just yet, we can confirm that the Four Horsewomen will not be available as DLC.
We are proud to have and built the largest WWE roster to date featuring the most Divas ever. The WWE 2K16 disc includes all of the Divas on the main roster at the time we locked it in (13 playable in total).
We all agree the Divas Revolution is great for business and look forward to celebrating the Divas even more in future WWE 2K titles.
Moreover, gamers can now place a pre-order for their personal copies of WWE 2K16 from any of the participating retailers to receive two playable character versions of the WWE legendary icon Arnold Schwarzenegger as T-800 from The Terminator and "Terminator 2: Judgment Day films.
WWE 2K16 is the latest iteration in the WWE 2K series slated for an October 27 release in North America and on Oct. 30 in other regions across the globe.
