Typically, the WWE 2k Soundtracks have had about 12 songs but for fun I will make my predictions to be a total of 15 songs because we all want more BANG for our BUCK right?!

#11: Izzo - Jay Z

#12: Eminem - Lose Yourself

#13: Butter - BTS

#14: I Ain't Worried - OneRepublic

#15: Surviving The Game - Skillet

And this is my predicted set list for 2k23 WWE game. I curated this list myself by information I know from Cena's liked artists to my own suggestions based on the themes of the game of course.

What would your list look like?

Top 10 WWE Champions

Here it is my final top 10 WWE champions list. I used to love the attitude title but then after that went the titles value in my eyes diminished and went on to be paraded as a children's toy which can spin although cool as it was you cant take a champion seriously with it. However the title has been kinda deactivated since the brand split and we now have Universal Championship title belt on RAW which i consider is the new WWE title but anyway, let's get into my top 10!

10) Cm Punk

The straight edge superstar held onto the wwe title for 434 days straight marking the longest modern reign of the title and he made the title relevant again and he was highly electrifying like another superstar on this list and the fact he is not in WWE anymore and fans still chant for Punk is something special, no one else in my mind has had this power of the WWE fans certainly in the modern era. Punk made the title matter and proved he is the best in the world but he's not number 1 on this list sadly but it does not take away the fact he is on my list and he is one of the greats. 

9) Bruno Sanmartino

The living legend himself amassed a total of  4,040 days as champion over the course of his 2 title reigns. Longest reigning champ in history. For that the Hall Of Famer is a legend and deserves to be on any list regarding the wwe title regardless of if you have seen him in action or not. 

8) Kurt Angle

This entry is gold and not just for winning the wwf title or wwe undisputed title but for winning an olympic gold medal with a broken freakin neck! 4 reigns and 300 days as champ Kurt is on this list for all this and for his amazing wrestling in ring style, he is a great technician of the squared circle and for all this and then some he is here at 8. 

7) Brock Lesner

THE BEAST BRRRRRRRROCK LEEEEEEEEEEESNEEEER! Alright this guy annoys me and angers me and all i have to say about him is negative but god damn it he is a tough s.o.b and i won't deny he deserves a place on any wwe championship list even if he is an annoying part timer who gets everything given to him for doing half the work most of the roster in wwe today does. 4 reigns and 579 days combined and is as of writing the universal champion currently and maybe he will be SD live's champion too if this Mahal v Lesner rumours are anything to go by.

6) Stone Cold Steve Austin

*GLASS SHATTERS* It's the rattlesnake himself! STONE COLD, STONE COLD! Yes at number 6 comes this tough no nonsense s.o.b. with 6 reigns and 530 combined days he has held the title this man is one of many we have to thank wwe for, if it was not for any star of wwf attitude era wwe would have been vanquished long ago. Austin is highly entertaining on the mic and in the ring and his career proves why he is on my list and why he has gone down as one of the best in wrestling history. 

5) Hulk Hogan

WHAT-CHA GONNA GO WHEN HULK HOGAN AND THE TWENTY THOUSAND HULK-A-MANIACS RUN WILD ON YOU BROTHER!? Well you are probably gonna be like woah it's the Hulkster at number 5 in this list, that's odd? Maybe its odd to some and to others its not but hey the Hulkster is a pop culture icon and has done a lot for wrestling to get it mainstream and to get more fans for the business and the Hulkster is one of the first wrestlers who went into the film industry and made a mark there also. Although Hulk's style to the wrestling audience of today is outdated and boring back in the day its what captivated fans and got the Hulkster to his fame and his 6 title reigns with combined days of 2,185!

4) The Rock

IF YA SA-MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL-LALALALALAL-AH! WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN! To this day i'm not really sure what he is cooking but i bet it's pies as The Rock certainly loves his pies and he also loves kicking some jabroni candy asses! The Rock also loves the millions and millions of Rock fans and his electrifying attitude is what got him to hollywood and to his 378 days reigned as an 8 time wwe champion! The man is a gold star! Now The Rock want's to know what you think of him so please tell me.......IT DOES'NT MATTER WHAT YOU THINK! The Rock is on this list and The Rock is one of the greats!

3) HHH

TIME TO PLAY THE GAME! At number 3 stands the COO and the headrunner of NXT and the cerebral assassin, the king of kings, the game, TRIPLEEEEE H! With 9 title reigns of this title and combined days held at 610 there is a reason why he is on her and why he is called The Game. HHH's career has been a very special one, it started with him being the pureblood newbie who came in all posh and dapper he liked to work out and gave wrestling a go and he was a rising terror (you like that reference?) til one day he and his friends shared a hug at the end of the show which then pushed him back to the bottom (it's stupid i know) but then he came back and dominated with his own team DX and took the world by storm and invaded WCW on a tank and his popularity went up and up and the titles were piling in and so then friendships went south he went on his own, married the boss's daughter and rose further and further up the ladder and to where he is now a king of the mountain in the wwe. HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU WATCH THIS VIDEO - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYvMOf3hsGA

2) Randy Orton

The Viper has slithered past all the others to get to here why? He is a 9 time champ with 660 days held combined as champ. Randy's voices in his head seem to be saying win titles and feud with Cena because it's all he has done in WWE mainly and i don't say it as a bad thing all Randy does has been good, he's a second generation superstar and he deserves his popularity and to be here on this list!

1) John Cena

THE CHAMP IS HERE! Yep at number one comes the guy who has been WWE champion for a large majority of my life and of the time i have watched wrestling none other than John Cena! He has held the wwe title 13 times and for a combined 1,257 days! Say what you want about him but the man deserves respect and you know i used to be a big fan of Cena back in the day i'm not so much now but i still respect the guy.

And that my metallic nation is the end of my championship reign in wwe top 10 champions.

Top 10 WWE World Heavyweight Champions

This is my penultimate list of top 10 WWE champions with the big gold aka WWE World Heavyweight Championship! Who will outweigh all to become the king of the heavyweights? Let's read on to find out! Funfact i always loved the big gold and want a replica some day.

10) Ric Flair

WOO!!! In at number 10 is the man who made the gold as valuable and respected as it is and that is 505 days 8 time reigning champion of the big gold, Ric Flair! Defeated Sting for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. WCW began recognising Flair as WCW World Heavyweight Champion while still using the NWA belt. WWE recognises this reign as an NWA world title reign (and not a WCW one).

9) Goldberg

Although Goldbergs first wwe run was pretty lame with a forgettable title run his time spent with the title in WCW is memorable and did a lot for him and he did a lot for the title i believe so anyway. Goldberg say what you want about him but he is vicious. 

8) Rey Mysterio 

After winning the 2006 Royal Rumble, Rey Mysterio became World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania 22, overcoming Kurt Angle and Randy Orton in a triple threat match. The ultimate underdog or the littlest big man Rey was so good it's a shame wwe did not have much trust in him after his first reign and due to the amount of injuries his skills have diminished a bit but still he is great and still really popular and i hope if he returns to wwe he gets one last title run. 

7) Chris Jericho 

Despite being a three-time champion, Chris Jericho was never given a sustained amount of time with the belt, making all of his title reigns forgettable, with the only real highlight coming from a heated feud with Shawn Michaels in late 2008.

6) John Cena

AND HIS NAME IS......well you know who this guy is, that guy you can't see?  You know leader of the Cenation? Dr of thugonomics? JOOOOOOOHN CENAAAAA!? Yeah see you know who it is. Although Cena has gone for WWE title more than the big gold, Cena the marmite wrestler love him or hate him he puts on entertaining matches and fueds and he is WWE's biggest star!

5) Batista

The animal established himself as the new big star after beating Triple H to win the title at Mania 21, the only man to hold the belt for over 100 days on two separate occasions, as World Heavyweight Champion 'The Animal' became the top star on Smackdown, as well as one as the greatest champions to ever hold the belt.

4) Randy Orton

Randy Orton became the youngest World Heavyweight Champion in history when he captured the belt for the first time at Summerslam 2004, at the age of only 24. 'The Viper' only held the title for four weeks before dropping it to former mentor Triple H at Unforgiven. Following this, Orton would focus his attention on the WWE Title and would not capture another World Heavyweight Championship for nearly seven years. 

3) Undertaker

Taker first won the title 10 years ago back in 2007's Wrestlemania against the animal himself. In October 2009, 'The Deadman' began his third and final reign as champion after besting CM Punk at Hell in a Cell. This would become his longest run yet with the title, holding onto the belt for 140 days before losing it at No Way Out in an Elimination Chamber match, following interference from Shawn Michaels. Despite capturing the belt for two WrestleManias in a row, both title reigns were disappointingly short, before a third run that was slightly more befitting of a legend. If Taker has retired it is a damn shame he did not retire with gold. 

2) Edge

A record 7 title reigns with the big gold has Edge placed here but not only for his accomplishments but of course like any man on this list for their wrestling skills and charisma and their entertainment factor is what made Edge so good and excel at winning the big one. Despite being a record seven-time World Heavyweight Champion, the longest individual reign Edge had with the belt lasted only 105 days. Edge is one of the few stars to retire as a reigning world champion, 'The Ultimate Opportunist' held the belt more times than anyone else, and is rightly remembered as one of the great World Heavyweight Champions.

1) HHH

The first WWE World Heavyweight Champion, the game has held the title 5 times, although the game was first awarded the title does not mean he was just handed it for nothing. Including his eight WWE Championships, Triple H has spent well over 1,000 days as a world champion in the WWE. The company's first World Heavyweight Champion, he could very well be the greatest to ever hold the title!

There we go, that's my top 10 WWE WHC's so who made your list? Let me know!

Thanks for stopping by as ever and i hope you will come back tomorrow for my last champion ranking list where i will be displaying my top 10 WWE Champions!

For now, STAY SHINY!

Top 10 WWE United States Champions

My fellow american's today is the day, the day we praise the red, white and blue and hold up the gold strap with one hand on our hearts and yell "WE THE PEOPLE!" because we are champions and as champions we get to admire and look at the champions of the past and hope the future will be forever GOLDEN! 

This list will feature people who held the title in it's other forms also.

10) Harley Race 

Now he was a wrestler and wrestling before my time, before i knew of wrestling BUT he was the very first champion of this title and he held it for 183 days with only one reign of the title and with me having not much exposure to Harley if  it was not for him this title would have went to obscurity and decommissioned long ago and so i thank Harley and place him here at number 10. 

9) MVP

Montel Vontavious Porter was a champion the likes of which WWE simply did not promote when he won the U.S. title in 2007. At that time, titles changed hands every so many months in an attempt to keep things interesting. WWE Creative used the titles to spark interest in rivalries and introduce new characters so when Porter, or MVP for short, worked his way through the ranks and ultimately defeated Chris Benoit to capture his first U.S. title, it was a refreshing twist. Even better was the fact that he would hold the title for nearly a year, clocking in at 343 days. Some will apply an asterisk to the reign, thanks to a heart condition that kept MVP out of the ring for a few weeks in the fall of 2007. That would be incredibly insulting to one of the greatest runs with the title of all-time. Sure, he was kept out of the ring but his feud with Matt Hardy over the championship ranked as one of the best on the SmackDown brand. And when it was finally time for him to drop the title to Hardy at Backlash 2008, the crowd was anxious to see it. He would regain the title a year later but that reign failed to live up to his extraordinary first run with the gold.

8) Chris Benoit

Yes he is here on my list, i'm not afraid or ashamed to feature him, yes his actions in his final days on Earth are despicable but he was still a talented wrestler in the ring. Chris Benoit is one of the rare occasions in which his reigns as United States champion in WWE far exceeded the quality of his two previous runs with the title in WCW. In Ted Turner's company, especially in the late 1990s, titles were as if they were props to be traded among wrestlers, not the coveted prize it should be. When the title was revived in WWE in 2003, Benoit was among the top contenders, losing out on the right to be the first Superstar to hold it in two years when he was defeated by Eddie Guerrero at that year's Vengeance pay-per-view. But Benoit made up for it two years later, defeating Orlando Jordan in record time at the 2005 SummerSlam event. He would win it a second time, from longtime rival Booker T, but it was his third reign that definitively earned him a spot on this list. For 222 days, Benoit carried the title as the workhorse of SmackDown, establishing it as the wrestler's title. Whether he was defending against Chavo Guerrero or MVP, Benoit proved to the entire industry why he was widely regarded as one of the great ring generals of his era.

7) Ricky Steamboat

One of the most decorated competitors to ever lace a pair of boots, Ricky Steamboat is one of the 10 greatest United States champions ever, thanks in large part to the competition he faced during his three reigns with the gold. His first reign as champion came when he defeated career-long rival Ric Flair on October 21, 1977. It would hardly be the only run he would have with the title. Over the course of the next 17 years, he would win the championship three more times, defeating skilled workers the likes of Dick Slater and a young Steve Austin. Not a competitor with the longest reigns as champion, he did more for it by bringing name recognition and the consistent in-ring excellence that would become a staple of the title over the decades.

6) Dean Ambrose

Dean Ambrose is the longest reigning champion under the WWE banner, with a record of 351 days. Dean Ambrose became the 77th competitor to hold the prestigious title after defeating Kofi Kingston at Extreme Rules on May 19, 2013. The Shield’s ”Lunatic Fringe” answered nearly every challenge to his championship, whether by hook or by crook, for 351 days until he was defeated by Sheamus in a Battle Royal for the title on Raw.

5) Kevin Owens

The most recent entry on this list but not only do i love KO but his reigns holding any championship has been very entertaining and provided us with great matches too! 3 reigns and for a combined total of 98 days. I hope he can hold it again and for longer.

4) Rick Rude

There may never be a professional wrestler whose time in World Championship Wrestling was more underrated than Rick Rude. From day one, Rude was perceived to be a main event star. Thus, during his time as U.S. champion, the title was elevated just by being in his possession. That he worked the likes of Ricky Steamboat, Sting and even heavyweight champion Ron Simmons only added value to the title. For well over a year, Rude defended against all-comers, oftentimes snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. He even withstood the challenge of the monstrous Nikita Koloff. Unfortunately, it was injury that would bring an end to Rude's reign as champion, putting a halt to all of the momentum he had built for himself and threatening to destroy the prestige his reign had brought to the title. Still, some two decades after his run with the gold, Rude is highly regarded as one of the finest competitors to ever wear the strap, thanks to the quality of competition he defended against, not to mention his undeniable star power.

3) John Cena

Yes the Cenation is here on the list! John Cena's victory over the Big Show at WrestleMania XX not only netted him his first United States Championship, it also began his meteoric rise up the ranks in WWE. It was the moment that announced to fans that management saw him as the man to lead the company into the next decade. More importantly, it was the defining moment of his young career. He won the title later in his career also back in 2015 and many seen this as a way for Cena to bury the up and comers but Cena won retaining the title against the like of many of these new stars and he did not bury them but he helped put them over and put on some damn fine competition with them all. 

2) Ric Flair

WOO! Flair is a 6 time US Champ which is the most reigns anyone who has ever held this title has had. Flair was as good for the U.S. title as it was for him. Clearly a competitor unlike any around him, Flair brought eyes to the title and lent it some of the same credibility that he would share with every title he touched throughout his long and illustrious career. He treated every championship with the respect and honour it deserved and as a result, it was seen by fans as the glorious achievement it was.

1) Lex Luger 

The longest reigning U.S. Champion deserves this spot, with 950 combined days as champ in total. Today, Lex Luger is one of the most polarising competitors to ever step foot inside a squared circle. Some remember him fondly as one of the faces of the National Wrestling Alliance during its heyday while others hate him for his perceived arrogance and the fact that he got his spot in the industry because of his looks and physique. For 523 days, Luger reigned as champion. Never before, or since, has a single competitor held the title for as long as the Total Package did from May 1989 until October 1990. During that time, he experienced the most sustained push of his career, defeating the likes of Brian Pillman and Ricky Steamboat. By working those men, he not only gained credibility as a champion but, more importantly, as a worker. Some of his best performances occurred during his run as the U.S. titleholder, thus making it a landmark time in career. In total, Luger held the title five times, for a grand total of 1155 days. The idea that someone could hold the title that many times, for that length of time, is unfathomable by today's standards. He had the trust of the promoters, delivered the quality of performance necessary to be granted such lengthy reigns with the strap and was reliable. He was the standard bearer for that title and should be celebrated as the wrestler more associated with the United States Championship.

For now my fellow american's this is all i have for you today so go out and have a great day and remember to bookmark and pop back weekly for more new lists. STAY SHINY!
