WWE 2K22 was released before Cody Rhodes returned to the company at WrestleMania 38. However, WWE still wanted Cody in the game.
According to Mike Straw at Sports Gamers Online, WWE attempt to get Cody in WWE 2K22, which they knew was unlikely due to the timing, was "quickly shot down."
The report notes that there was also too little time for Cody to be added as DLC.
While Cody may not be in WWE 2K22, Cody is betting that 2K Games is working on something special for pro wrestling fans.
I don’t know the talented folks at @WWEgames - but I’m a pretty decent gambler and I would bet they’re working very hard on something special for pro wrestling fans https://t.co/IqiiiK9lHQ
