Following their NXT Tag Team Championship victory at NXT Stand and Deliver, MSK were broken up due to the firing of Nash Carter fromWWE. Carter’s release from theWWEcame after an image was posted across social media by his estranged wife, Kimber Lee.

TheNXT2.0 superstar’s entrance was shown off in a near one-minute video, and the wrestler still dons his signature MSK themed attire. In fact, the MSK entrance graphic and music are carried over for Wes Lee.
Hurricane Helms, Stacy Keibler, and A-Kid join the roster alongside Wes Lee in the Stand Back Pack. Shane Helms revealed his in-game superstar with new images taken fromHurricane Helms’WWE 2K22entrance. Since Nash Carter is no longer joining theWWE 2K22roster, bonus MyFACTION cards for Booker T and Seth Rollins are included with the Stand Back Pack as compensation.
Wes Lee is a talented superstar from the NXT 2.0 brand, but his inclusion inWWE 2K22may leave fans unsatisfied since MSK is not playable as tag team. Additionally, many fans wantanother superstar to replace Nash Carterinstead of the bonus MyFACTION cards. The situation revolving around Nash Carter and his removal fromWWE 2K22continues to be a polarizing topic.
On the other hand, the bonus myFACTION cards are an immediate way to compensate for the removal of Nash Carter without affecting development. Wes Lee still brings his innovative moves intoWWE 2K22and provides enjoyment for fans who want to give him a solo run.
WWE 2K22is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
