Maybe they can turn it into a marketing campaign.

By my count the following people were in 2K20 and will probably be cut unless they're involved in MyCareer -
Akam Aleister Black Alicia Fox Andrade Ariya Daivari Big Show Billie Kay Bo Dallas Braun Strowman Bray Wyatt Buddy Murphy Christian Curt Hawkins Curtis Axel Daniel Bryan Dash Wilder EC3 Eric Young Fandango Gentleman Jack Gallagher Harper Heath Slater Jake Roberts Kalisto Karl Anderson Kassius Ohno Lars Sullivan Luke Gallows Maria Kanellis Mark Henry Mickie James Mike Kanellis Mojo Rawley No Way Jose Peyton Royce Rezar Rowan Rusev Samir Singh Scott Dawson Sin Cara Sting Sunil Singh Tony Nese Tucker Tyler Breeze Velveteen Dream Zack Ryder
And additional fairly likely cuts are...
Adam Cole Brock Lesnar Dusty Rhodes Eddie Guerrero Kairi Sane Kurt Angle Noam Dar Ric Flair Samoa Joe Shane McMahon Zelina Vega
And it's very likely that Baron Corbin, Nikki ASH, and Roderick Strong are going to be super out of date.

Exclusive leak: I mean, Buzz and Cole Quinn are more likeable and personable than 75% of the current roster, I'd have no problem with them being the focus of the game at this point.

Well, this all sure sounds... Fiiiiiine
2K22 isn't explicitly named, but the fact that a) there's good cause to assume the game could be delayed due to the number of people who will have to be removed from the game now, and b) whenever a company says that it has no information to share at this time rather than denying it, it sets off a lot of red flags for me, really makes me wonder.

I'm pretty adamantly convinced that it'll be a miracle if 2K22 manages to be even mildly better than 2K20 between COVID and the likely slashed budget given how poorly 2K20 and Battlegrounds sold. This just seems like a zombie of a franchise by now, which really sucks given 2K19 while certainly rife with problems is pretty fun to just pick up and play.

I'm glad I have 2k19 on PC, and with all the mods available for it, you can really build your own game. Want an Attitude/Ruthless Aggression game? There is a guy revamping all the arenas to fit No Mercy '99 to WrestleMania XIX. Want a Golden Era game? Look B4G on YouTube and their Eras mod. Hell, you can even download the Impact Zone and the models from the TNA game, and import the moves and entrances from 2k20.

Fire Pro on Steam Deck is looking all the more appealing.

I'm looking at B4GTV's arenas, and they are awesome just to look at, to see what they could do. I've always liked when wrestling games accurately recreated the arenas, it adds so much to the atmosphere.

My old PR agency did 2K's PR and it's not unusual that we haven't seen anything by this point, but what concerns me is they were so gung-ho about transparency and we've barely seen anything. That said, they have been flashing the WWE 2K22 logo more on WWE programming these days...

They should probably just rip the band-aid off and announce the entire roster upfront. Know they usually prefer to stagger it but it's looking so dire that they probably should just make it clear upfront how ludicrously out of date it's going to be and get it over with. Wonder what this year's preorder bonus and this year's weird stupid exclusion are going to be.
For the latter I'm kind of thinking they might only have a retro Edge given for some reason they've continually insisted on doing that with Angle and Goldberg.
