With every new WWE video game released annually, debate rages on the individual rating offered to each WWE superstar and legend featured. While some are often considered too high, many have their careers or talent underrepresented by the game's scoring system.

It can be a bit annoying for wrestlers having to hear that they aren't quite as good as the game rates them. It must be more demoralizing to see yourself ranked lowly in a video game compared to your peers. These are the 10 superstars who are ranked too low in WWE's latest video game, WWE 2K20.
10 Andre The Giant: 87
Andre The Giant is one of the most recognizable wrestlers ever to have walked the earth, thanks to his gargantuan size and mythic backstage stories. He was even one of the first wrestlers to successfully start a film career, following his memorable performance in The Princess Bride.
His rating in WWE 2K20 however doesn't reflect the impact he had on the industry. While 87 is a high ranking in the game, placing him in the top 50, it situates him beneath stars like Samoa Joe and Edge. Both are talented legends in their own right, but they have had little impact on wrestling as a whole compared to the giant himself.
9 The Undertaker: 87
The Undertaker is ranked at the same level as Andre at 87, which is one of the lowest scores The Deadman has ever received in a WWE game. This ranking is particularly alarming when you consider that he is, in fact, the highest-ranking superstar in a WWE game ever, stemming from his days featured in the Smackdown Vs. Raw franchise.
The Undertaker ranking anything below 90 is a glaring failure to acknowledge how both his gimmick and his in-ring talent have allowed him to have one of the longest careers ever in WWE.
8 Jeff Hardy: 82
Former WWE Champion Jeff Hardy is rated 82 in WWE 2K20, on the same level as Brutus Beefcake and Drew Gulak. Jeff, as one half of The Hardy Boyz, is one of the most recognizable stars of the Attitude Era thanks to the grueling TLC matches he participated in at the time and remains one of the most popular superstars in the company today.

Besides Mick Foley, he is perhaps the best-known daredevil in wrestling and deserves a considerably higher ranking than he received in this year's 2K iteration.
7 Keith Lee: 77
Though his WWE career is still fairly young, especially when these rankings were given, Keith Lee is still one of the hottest prospects in NXT, having held his own against both Roman Reigns (who showed the star great respect) and Brock Lesnar in recent months.
He is also currently the NXT North American Champion. Since he hasn't been in the company long, he perhaps shouldn't be ranked too much higher in 2K20, but Keith Lee should be ranked just a little bit higher than his current score of 77.
6 Bray Wyatt (The Fiend): 86
Bray Wyatt's The Fiend was the special attraction pre-order bonus wrestler of this year's game, which in the past has included the likes of Kurt Angle and Arnold Schwarzenegger's The Terminator.
Despite needing to pay full price and secure your copy of the game in order to play as The Fiend, he received a ranking of just 86 in the final product. Given how unstoppable The Fiend was presented before his unceremonious loss to Goldberg, many anticipated he would be given a much higher ranking than this in WWE 2K20.
5 Kane: 80
Despite being around WWE for so long, Kane still commands a dominant presence any time he steps into the ring and was featured in WWE 2K20's legends category of superstars.

Yet in the latest 2K game, Kane received a score of just 80, putting him on level pegging with the likes of Cedric Alexander and Lars Sullivan, and making him one of the lowest-rated legends in the entire game. Many feel as if Kane's long and storied career in WWE is deserving of a higher score than 80, despite the fact that he hasn't been a regular competitor for many years.
4 Tyler Bate: 77
Former NXT UK Champion Tyler Bate is one of several DLC characters featured in WWE 2K20, who received a score of 77 alongside his Moustache Mountain partner Trent Severn. While it is welcome to see Tyler featured in this year's game, many feel as if his talents have gone undervalued in the game.
Tyler featured in one of WWE's highest-rated matches last year when he faced off against the imposing WALTER, receiving his second 5 star plus match from Dave Meltzer. In light of his continued exceptional in-ring ability, Tyler Bate should be ranked higher in WWE 2K20.
3 Dusty Rhodes: 85
The American Dream Dusty Rhodes is known both for his incredible wrestling career throughout the 1980s and for his compassion and dedication to educating the next generation of superstars, which he fulfilled until his untimely death at WWE's Performance Center.

Whether it is due in part to his son Cody's continued establishment of rival company AEW, or due to individual opinions, Dusty Rhodes is ranked only at a score of 85 in WWE 2K20. This places him as only the 60th highest ranked star playable in the game, a position unbecoming of one of the greatest talkers to ever hold a mic.
2 Tomasso Ciampa: 82
Tomasso Ciampa is one of the most recognizable faces in WWE's NXT division, serving as a former champion and frequently found at the top of the card at Takeover events. Ciampa is ranked at a score of 82 in WWE 2K20, which isn't unreasonably low for his placement in the company until it's compared with his peers.
He is a whole 2 points behind his former tag-team partner and current rival Johnny Gargano, who stands at 84 alongside current champion Adam Cole. Ciampa deserves to be ranked on par with these two men as the third most prominent wrestler on the NXT brand today.
1 Jinder Mahal: 76
A contentious final pick, given how disastrously received his championship reign was, but Jinder Mahal is unfairly ranked at a 76 on WWE 2K20. Though many would rather forget it, Jinder was a WWE Champion for what constituted a considerably lengthy run in the not-too-distant-past of WWE programming.
His stock may have fallen considerably in recent months, but Jinder's past accomplishments shouldn't be forgotten. Though many may not like it, Jinder is one of the 10 superstars in WWE 2K20 who deserve a higher ranking than they currently possess.
