Here is a WWE 2K18 information round-up with everything we found out from the 2K SummerSlam event in New York City, where an early build of WWE 2K18 was playable featuring 10 male characters and 3 different match types: 1 on 1 normal, Elimination Chamber and 10-man Royal Rumble. 

We want to thank our friend @MachoT_YT for helping us with the information. Keep checking this page for more updates as even more details will be added soon!
