R-Truth ended up one of the biggest stars of the WWE 2K24 tournament held at WWE World in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Pa. — Kofi Kingston was celebrating like he won the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35 on Thursday evening, when he and Barstool Sports personality Robbie Fox apparently had won the WWE 2K24 Showdown Championship. However, the special guest referee for the event, media personality Greg Miller, had other things in mind.
Miller declared Kingston had to face off against Fox because there was only one belt. Fox, who played as the 2001 version of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, beat Kingston, who played Roman Reigns, to win the championship — with a little help from Miller fast-counting as Mick Foley.
The stars of the tournament were R-Truth and Miller. Truth told Wrestling Junkie before the festivities began that he trained his WrestleMania XL tag team partner vigorously and would be in his corner. Well, he wasn’t kidding.
While The Miz and Brandon Walker were playing Bayley and Philadelphia Eagles star Lane Johnson, the former United States and 24/7 champion held a microphone directly behind Miz, giving him instructions on which buttons to press. Miller was having none of the nonsense and gave Truth an imaginary line to not cross. During numerous points of the Showdown Championship, Truth would talk trash to other participants, which drew loud ovations from the crowd inside WWE World.
Each team in the WWE 2K24 tournament featured a WWE superstar teaming with a celebrity. Jey Uso teamed with rapper Wale. But they lost in record time to Johnny Gargano and comedian Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias in a Hell In A Cell match, in which the latter played as two-time Royal Rumble winner Cody Rhodes and Intercontinental Champion Gunther.
Miz and Barstool personality Walker came up short in what ended up being the semifinals. The final team was Zelina Vega and 100 Thieves creator Jordan “LEGIQN” Payton, who lost to Kingston and Fox in the opening round.
Refreshed with two new stories and brought to life by new voice talent, see what MyRISE has to offer in WWE 2K24.
While the golden age of story modes in other sports video games seems to have come and gone, MyRISE continues to get a lot of attention in the “WWE 2K” series. That’s only appropriate, as storytelling is at the very heart of pro wrestling, and WWE proudly holds it up as a core tenet of what it does best.
“WWE 2K24” builds upon the work its predecessors did in its brand new sagas for MyRISE, its single-player story mode, presenting new narratives for both men and women wrestlers. The dev team also had access to some WWE talent to provide voiceover work that it hasn’t before, which helps both tales shine.
There are also some nice rewards available for playing through MyRISE that make it worthwhile even for players who spend most of their time in other “WWE 2K24” game modes, making it feel more connected to the overall experience than ever before.
(Editor’s note: There are some very mild spoilers below, though only for the first two chapters of each storyline and nothing that reveals the details of any major decision.)

Get ready to be Unleashed on the WWE Universe
The women’s storyline, “Unleashed,” puts you in the boots of an indie wrestling darling. As the Captain of the locker room of a small but notable promotion, you’ve amassed a following and reached a point where up and coming talents look to you for guidance and training. But can you break out of your comfort zone when an unexpected turn of events opens the door for a WWE opportunity?
“Unleashed” resonates simply because even though WWE has shifted back toward developing its own talent via NXT, it has relied heavily on hiring and pushing stars who first rose to notoriety on the indie circuit over the past two decades. The question is always whether those talents can keep what made them special in the first place while adapting to WWE’s style of pro wrestling.
When it works (think Daniel Bryan), it can be a spectacular success. There are always examples of when it doesn’t, however, and while the guess is that “Unleashed” will never let you go all the way in that direction, the specter of failure helps keep you on your toes.
The narrative is punched up right away by several interesting twists. It turns out that at least one current WWE star remembers you from her own days on the indies and isn’t too keen on working with you again. And in a nice bit of continuity for anyone who played MyRISE last year, the fictional former champion Justine is once again involved in your tale here, albeit in a completely new way.
Perhaps most interesting is that when you have the chance to finally take control of your own creative direction in WWE, “Unleashed” gives you the option of exploring several different possibilities. One in particular is pretty wild, and it’s not hard to imagine the devs had a lot of fun writing it.
Ironically, the start of “Unleashed” shares some DNA with last year’s men’s storyline, “The Lock,” but it quickly moves beyond that and becomes its own thing, perhaps the most enjoyable journey in MyRISE to date.

Undisputed takes the Roman Reigns saga to its logical extreme
While WWE fans wait to see if Cody Rhodes, or anyone for that matter, will finally unseat Roman Reigns from his spot atop the company, “Undisputed” offers up a tantalizing (though probably not very plausible IRL) possibility: What if the Head of the Table voluntarily stepped away?
That makes for a jumping off point like no other, and as a talented performer who’s yet to fully live up to your potential, that’s exactly where you enter the picture in “Undisputed.” It’s not a spoiler to say you manage to be in position to win the Universal Championship fairly early on, but winning it and keeping it are two very different things — especially when it turns out Reigns isn’t as out of the picture as we’ve originally been led to believe.
“Undisputed” takes more liberty with the suspension of disbelief than “Unleashed” does, but there are some fun beats within it that arrive at regular intervals. On top of that, 2K actually got Reigns in for voice work this year, and his presence absolutely helps make this storyline come together.
There’s also a sense of history that is threaded through “Undisputed” that helps add to its immersive quality. Loading screens show off milestones from other impressive WWE championship reigns, giving you the feeling that you’re chasing down not just Reigns but other legendary champs as well.
Why to play MyRISE even if you normally skip it
One of the best parts of any sports game is making it feel like it’s worth exploring other game modes even if you normally hone in on one or two. The “MLB The Show” series is an example of one that does this nicely, rewarding players for spending time playing wherever and however they want, knowing they’ll unlock things elsewhere in the game.
“WWE 2K24” has done this more than ever, with plenty of connectivity between modes. MyRISE is no exception, offering numerous ways to unlock create-a-wrestler options throughout.
Beyond that, though, is the way MyRISE ties in with MyFACTION. It’s possible to win some very nice cards for the latter in just a few hours with the former, something that’s not obvious but is definitely welcome. Our playthrough yielded some MyFACTION cards that were among the most powerful available to us in the first few days of review, a nice touch that deserves to be called out.

Final thoughts
With two new stories that are both logical and entertaining in their own right, MyRISE once again shows that it received plenty of love from the “WWE 2K24” dev team this year. New additions to the voice acting roster, including Reigns, and rewards for other modes also help add to the fun.
As far as challenge goes, that really depends on what you’re after. The mega-boost for MyRISE that comes with the Deluxe and 40 Years of WrestleMania editions of the game almost makes the start of either story too easy, while going without it is much more challenging — even the first match in “Unleashed” can be tricky for beginners without the boost. That’s something to keep in mind for sure.

Disclosure: Wrestling Junkie was provided with a complimentary copy of the WWE 2K24 40 Years of WrestleMania Edition for PS5 for the purposes of this review.
A look at the full list of WWE wrestlers on the WWE 2K24 roster, and all ratings revealed to date.
The time has arrived — the time for the complete WWE 2K24 roster, that is.
As revealed by 2K, below is a look at every wrestler and manager in this year’s game. The vast majority are available at launch, with some as pre-order bonuses and still others in the way as part of DLC packs.
Another cool thing 2K is doing this year is making the ratings more interwoven with WWE programming, showing the numbers of some wrestlers while they are in the ring on Raw and SmackDown. That’s helped to provide plenty of points for debate and is keeping anticipation for WWE 2K24 high. We’ve added ratings as they popped up and had a lot of fun doing so.
Now with launch upon us, the full list of ratings is also out, so we’ve filled them in except for the wrestlers still to come in DLC during the year.
Find out whether some slight tinkering, a massive roster and a WrestleMania showcase make WWE 2K24 worth a purchase.
You’d be hard-pressed to find a more persnickety group of people than pro wrestling fans … unless you also know avid gamers. While both groups are among the most passionate around, they’re also very apt to notice the small details that they deem need attention, and they’re not shy about letting people know. Trying to please the intersecting area of the Venn Diagram between the two, like the developers of “WWE 2K24,” seems like an arduous task.
Yet the team behind 2K’s latest WWE video game also tackles its job with gusto, which is why its members are always so excited to get each annual release (save for one dark spell a few years back) into the hands of the players. This time out, they attempted to spice things up without fixing what wasn’t broken, and their efforts were aided by a big WWE anniversary.

“Do You Want More?!!!??!” You got it
(With a h/t to The Roots.)
Since the WWE 2K series made its way back from the abyss with “WWE 2K22,” the general vibes around it have been pretty good. Last year’s edition was the best-reviewed installment since 2K first acquired the WWE license a little more than a decade ago, which means there’s not a lot of urgency to make wide, sweeping changes.
That could be a disappointment if that’s what you’re after, but what is on offer is a lot of additions across every game mode. That starts with the roster, which is always a primary focus of wrestling gamers. While the devs are careful not to make claims that “WWE 2K24” has the largest roster ever, it certainly is massive, with more than 200 characters playable at launch (and a couple of high profile omissions, which we’ll circle back to later).
Not only are there a ton of wrestlers, including current Raw and SmackDown superstars, NXT talent and legends — with a few first-timers like George “The Animal” Steele — but there are alternate versions of quite a few of them too. Want to play as the Doctor of Thuganomics era John Cena? He’s in here, albeit inspired by his 2020 appearance in the Firefly Fun House match at WrestleMania 36.
[lawrence-related id=44247]
“WWE 2K24” even gives gamers looking for more roster options a reason to play more MyFACTION, the team-building mode which feels like it’s received the least attention over the past year. New “Persona” cards unlock alternate rung attires for characters across all modes, which is a fun tweak that makes grinding in MyFACTION more intriguing even for those who don’t generally play it.

Four new matches have made their way into the game this year as well. The Ambulance and Casket Matches are somewhat similar in the sense the goal is to stuff an opponent into something and close the door on them. The Special Guest Referee Match was one of the most highly requested match types from the community, according to the devs. And the Gauntlet Match is more like several new matches since it can be configured in multiple ways. All are fun, though it would be surprising if someone’s enjoyment of the game was ruined by their absence.
The same could be said for this year’s gameplay improvements. The one that stands out the most is the Trading Blows mini game, which one dev said introduces an element of “strong style” to any match. It’s not a new mechanic per se, since so much of success in the ring in “WWE 2K24” is based on timing, but it is a cool way to simulate something that happens in a fair number of real life bouts.
MyGM has been buffed by the introduction of several new General Manager candidates and brands, each with their own power cards. Playing against the game’s AI becomes a little more challenging as a result, which you’ll know once you’ve been hosed by whoever’s running ECW a time or two. The most promising new features include trades between shows and scouts to uncover “new” talent, with the quotation marks there because many of the upper echelon wrestlers are actually WWE legends.
In the Creation Suite, there are now Create-A-Referee and Create-A-Sign options, which are exactly what they sound like. The latter is unusually timely since the return of The Rock appears to have ushered in a new era of in-arena signage, a trend that’s only likely to keep increasing as we head to WrestleMania 40.
Speaking of that milestone event …

This year’s Showcase is the best one yet since it’s WrestleMania-centric
To be clear, it’s not like playing through the careers of Cena and Rey Mysterio, the subjects of the previous two Showcase modes wasn’t a lot of fun. It’s just that the “2K Showcase… of the Immortals” has so much more to work with since it is about reliving 40 years of WrestleMania history.
The Slingshot tech 2K uses to mesh together playable sequences and video highlights isn’t new, but it feels more vibrant then ever before. There are also less roadblocks to advancement thanks to the devs making goals within each famous match a bit more straightforward (not necessarily easier) to achieve. Lots of unlockables within the Showcase make it worth checking out.
But it’s hard to imagine most players won’t want to dive in and see which matches are included from four decades of WWE’s biggest and most prestigious event. Could you quibble with the selection of matches that made the cut? Sure, but that’s part of the fun.

Undisputed or Unleashed? Both are worth exploring in MyRISE
Just like last year’s game, “WWE 2K24” features a pair of separate themes for men and women wrestlers in MyRISE, the single-player story mode. Both have good hooks as high concepts.
In “Unleashed,” you’re the face of a successful, rule-breaking indie promotion who gets an unexpected chance to make the WWE roster after turning the company down several years before. Will you hold onto your unique sensibility to shake up the women’s division on Raw or SmackDown? Or might you have to become a bit more of what you once fought against than you’d like?
The “what if” aspect of “Undisputed” is also a blast. Roman Reigns has stunned the WWE Universe by announcing that he’s relinquishing his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, and your created wrestler gets invited to a tournament to see who might be next to hold that coveted prize. But as always, the Tribal Chief has motives on his own, and not everything might be as it first appears.

What’s immediately noticeable about MyRISE is that it has more voice work from top WWE stars than ever before — including Reigns for the first time in the series. That certainly adds to the immersion, even if you’re likely to still spend a lot more time talking to William Regal than Roman. Um, not that that’s a bad thing by any means.
Bonus points, too, for some continuity between MyRISE from one year to the next, as “Unleashed” features a prominent NPC who gamers will recognize from one of the storylines in “WWE 2K23.”
The gang’s all here … almost
One of the talking points ahead of the game’s release was exactly how much some of the real life drama involving two prominent WWE figures would affect what made it into the game. The fact that Vince McMahon is scarce is no surprise, not with his scandals reaching even greater heights in 2024 and leading to his resignation.
Brock Lesnar is an even thornier case. While Lesnar wasn’t mentioned by name in the Janel Grant sex trafficking lawsuit that led to McMahon’s departure, he was implicated in it. Lesnar was clearly set to be an important part of “WWE 2K24,” with pre-release cover art picturing him beside a number of legends on the “40 Years of WrestleMania” edition.
He didn’t make it onto that cover and isn’t on the playable roster, either. Why? Reports suggest that WWE asked 2K not to include him. When Wrestling Junkie reached out to 2K on the topic, we received this statement:
We are always in lock step with the WWE on how our game reflects what’s happening in the WWE universe. Certain personalities play a role in the historical 2K Showcase and in the narrative-driven MyRISE experience, but are not available on the playable roster.
Sure enough, McMahon and Lesnar are in those modes. Sources we talked to within the wider gaming industry say our hunch on why is probably correct: It’s one thing to make a character non-playable, and another entirely to remove them from a story mode where there are numerous interconnecting pieces or to erase them from WrestleMania history.

The verdict: Whether you need “WWE 2K24” may depend on how long it’s been since you’ve played another title in the series
A good friend and longtime WWE fan asked me whether he should buy this year’s game, and while I couldn’t tell him yet, I did ask how long it’s been since he last tried any of the WWE 2K games. He said it had been since 2019, in which case I’d tell him now that he definitely should pick up “WWE 2K24,” because the experience has simply come a long, long way since then.
It’s trickier to say if “2K24” is essential if you own and enjoy either of the two titles that preceded it. The WrestleMania Showcase and new MyRISE stories are certainly solid and could sway that decision. Other additions and improvements, while welcome, don’t seem like they’d carry quite as much weight.
But then again, it helps to remember what we said about wrestling fans back at the top. Certainly, someone out there has been waiting for an Ambulance Match, and someone else can’t wait to see The Judgment Day with their most up-to-date entrance themes and graphics. That likely means “WWE 2K24” will feel essential for more people than I think, which means the team behind the game has done its job.
Pros:
Almost every mode has something new
A focus on WrestleMania during an anniversary year was a wise choice
The already massive roster has a small but welcome connection to MyFACTION to add even more visual options
Cons:
None of the new match types is as significant as WarGames was in “WWE 2K23”
Real world considerations have intruded just a tad on the playable roster
Overall score: 8.5/10

Brock Lesnar won’t be totally removed from WWE 2K24, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be able to play as him either.
It appears Brock Lesnar will be in WWE 2K24. Yet he’s not on the official roster of wrestlers released this week by 2K.
How can both of these things be true? It’s because Lesnar will be included in the game, but not as a playable character — you’ll be able to interact with or go up against the Beast Incarnate, just not play as him.
Mike Straw of Insider Gaming was the first to confirm this unusual status quo for Lesnar, with his sources explaining that “while it was too late to fully remove Lesnar from the game, the plan shifted to simply make him unplayable for players upon release.”
Fightful Select (subscription required) followed up on Straw’s report, explaining that “we’re told that there are some characters that are included in MyRise and Showcase that are considered historically significant but will not be playable in the game outside of those modes.” Fightful also said it was WWE who requested that Lesnar not be playable.
If you’ve been following WWE news for the past few months, you likely already have an idea of why this is, but just in case … Lesnar was implicated in the Vince McMahon sex trafficking lawsuit filed by former WWE employee Janel Grant. While not named as a defendant, he is the former UFC champion discussed in the suit for whom McMahon allegedly asked Grant to “create personalized sexual content for a WWE superstar that he was trying to re-sign.”
Until the allegations in that suit are resolved one way or the other, WWE has chosen to minimize its association with Lesnar, which includes reportedly shelving plans to use him at Royal Rumble and beyond. In the case of WWE 2K24, he had already been removed from one of the upcoming game’s special edition covers, and the compromise of making him unplayable seems like a good solution with so much work put into the game and it now so close to release.
Speaking of which, WWE 2K24 is set to release on all major gaming platforms Friday, March 8, with two deluxe additions granting early access to gamers on Tuesday, March 5.
Post Malone is also curating the WWE 2K24 soundtrack, which includes several of his own songs.
Bad Bunny has proven that music stars can thrive in WWE, and has already appeared in previous video games. But WWE 2K24 has another, more surprising celebrity on the way.
That would be Post Malone. The 28-year-old singer and rapper, recently seen performing “America the Beautiful” before Super Bowl LVIII, is curating the upcoming game’s soundtrack, which makes perfect sense (and said soundtrack will include several of his songs).
What you may not have expected is the ability to take Post Malone into the WWE ring. As revealed by 2K today, he’ll be part of one of WWE 2K24’s post-launch DLC packs — which means you’ll have to pay extra for him and the other wrestlers included in the pack, unless you’ve purchased one of the game’s editions that includes all DLC.
In the meantime, you’ll be able to appreciate Malone’s ear for music as he’s picked the 12 songs that will be in WWE 2K24 at launch:
Post Malone – Chemical
Post Malone – Laugh It Off
100 gecs – Hand Crushed By A Mallet
Busta Rhymes – Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See
Colter Wall – Motorcycle
Grimes – Genesis
Militarie Gun – Do It Faster
Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs – Big Rig
Speed – Not That Nice
Turnstile – Mystery
Tyler Childers – House Fire
Yeat – Bëttr 0ff.
“The secret to a great video game soundtrack is a little something for everyone and for every mood,” Malone said in a press release. “It gets you excited and it gets you pumped up to play. This has been a total blast. We have a lot of cool ideas, so I’m super excited.”
Whether he’ll be quite as excited seeing himself in video game form getting thrown around by the likes of Roman Reigns and Gunther remains to be seen.
WWE 2K24 is set to release on March 8 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC, with the Deluxe and 40 Years of WrestleMania Editions playable three days earlier on March 5.
WWE 2K24 devs say this year’s roster may top last year’s in terms of sheer numbers and versions of characters.
We’re likely not far off from more information on how WWE 2K24 will play, but it could be a little more of a wait until 2K reveals more about the roster for this year’s game. But that doesn’t mean the team behind it can’t whet gamers’ appetites with some teases about the scope of this year’s selection of current stars and legends.
“Anyone interested and curious about the roster, just know that it is a full course meal, it really is,” Bryan Williams, Associate Gameplay Producer at Visual Concepts, told Wrestling Junkie in a recent Zoom interview.
Williams said he is involved with the sub-team that ensures movesets are accurate for all the wrestlers in the game. He said it is a lot of work, but worth it once the finished product is out.
He also noted that while last year’s entry in the series likely had the biggest roster ever, WWE 2K24 might still take things up a notch.
“I know last year with 2K23, that was probably the largest roster that we’ve had in the game, and I know that with 2K24, we probably added to that,” Williams said. “It is an insane, absurd amount of playable characters that are in this game.”
And it’s not just playable wrestlers, but managers and other familiar faces who are included as well. Plus there are a number of wrestlers who appear in more than one incarnation, as Williams pointed to the Stardust and masked “Undashing” versions of Cody Rhodes that players can nab in the Nightmare Family pack that comes as a pre-order bonus.
So it sounds like WWE 2K24 will have something for everyone, regardless of their favorite era of WWE history, and not just sheer numbers — though it should come through on that front as well.
“I mean it’s over 230 characters, easy, and it’s a lot more than that,” Williams said. “Robust is an understatement when it comes to the roster this year.”
The launch of WWE 2K24 is just over a month away, with the Standard Edition and Standard Cross-Gen Digital Edition both releaseing on Friday, March 8, 2024. The WWE 2K24 Deluxe Edition and Forty Years of WrestleMania Edition will be playable a few days earlier on Tuesday, March 5.
The cover stars for WWE 2K24 and its three editions weren’t the only big news about the upcoming game that was confirmed today.
The press release officially announcing WWE 2K24 also revealed the release date for the game — or perhaps more precisely, release dates, as two editions will let gamers dive in three days earlier than the other two.
WWE 2K24 Standard Edition and Standard Cross-Gen Digital Edition both release on Friday, March 8, 2024. However, anyone ponying up for the WWE 2K24 Deluxe Edition or Forty Years of WrestleMania Edition will be able to play beginning on Tuesday, March 5.
What’s the difference between the different versions of the game? Mostly the extra content that comes with each one, as well as the price you pay for those extras. The Standard Edition will cost $59.99 for last gen consoles (PlayStation 4 and Xbox One) and PC, and $69.99 for current gen consoles (PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S). The Standard Cross-Gen Digital Edition will also cost $69.99, but as the name suggests, will allow players to download the Standard Edition across both consoles within the same family: PS4 and PS5, or Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
The Deluxe Edition will cost $99.99 for any console or PC, but includes a number of extras at launch and a Season Pass good for all DLC packs after the game’s release. Finally, the Forty Years of WrestleMania Edition will be available for $119.99 and includes everything in the Deluxe Edition plus additional wrestler attires, bonus content for MyFACTION, instant unlocking of all playable Showcase characters, and the WrestleMania 40 Arena.
Still, one of the best perks of the Deluxe and Forty Years of WrestleMania Editions for many will be the ability to play three days earlier. Whichever version of the game you’re eyeing up, the good news is that barring any last minute delays, WWE 2K24 will be ready to go well before WrestleMania this year, just like its predecessor was in 2023.
WWE 2K24 cover stars include the American Nightmare and two of the top women’s stars in WWE today.
The man who is arguably the face of WWE will be on one WWE 2K24 cover this year, while two women will make history on another.
A much anticipated announcement came today as 2K officially revealed the covers and additional details for WWE 2K24. The 11th game in the WWE 2K series will be arriving in less than two months for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PC via Steam.
A popular guess for cover star this time around, Cody Rhodes, will be featured on the Standard Edition cover. On the Deluxe Edition, Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley will share the spotlight, the first time two women have starred on a dedicated WWE 2K cover. Finally, with WrestleMania 40 coming up fast in Philadelphia, the aptly named Forty Years of WrestleMania Edition cover will include a range of WWE’s most iconic stars, including The Rock, The Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Hulk Hogan.

“I’ve been known to keep a checklist of key milestones I want to experience on the path to finishing my story,” Rhodes said in a press release. “As an avid gamer, being named WWE 2K cover Superstar is very, very close to the top of that list and I’m very happy to work with the teams at 2K and Visual Concepts to bring that dream to life.”
Image credit: 2K
“I’ve proven myself to be the most dominant competitor to ever hold the WWE Women’s World Championship,” Ripley added. “Earning the accolade of WWE 2K24 cover Superstar is only fitting, and I’m proud to add it to my list of accomplishments.”
Image credit: 2K
Among the new modes and features for WWE 2K24 will be the 2K Showcase…of the Immortals. Named for one of WrestleMania’s nicknames, the mode will have gamers playing through some of the most memorable moments from WrestleMania history, utilizing 2K’s Slingshot Tech to switch back and forth between gameplay and historical live-action footage.
There’s also a focus on making this the most robust roster for a WWE 2K game to date, with the announcement release promising more than 200 past and present wrestlers between the launch roster and forthcoming DLC packs.
The best part is that the wait won’t be long for the follow-up to last year’s very well-received game, as WWE 2K24 Deluxe Edition and Forty Years of WrestleMania Edition are set for worldwide release on Tuesday, March 8, 2024, while WWE 2K24 Standard Edition and Standard Cross-Gen Digital Edition follow just a few days later on Friday, March 8.
