More professional wrestlers have now been confirmed as additions to the growing roster of "WWE 2K16." This time around, the list includes some of the biggest names to ever grace the squared circle.

First of the new characters confirmed for "WWE 2K16," according to IGN, is none other than Randy "Macho Man" Savage. The "Macho Man" is one of the best and most influential professional wrestlers to have ever set foot inside the ring. He was an in-ring pioneer famous for taking to the skies to land his trademark elbow drop and also someone capable of engaging in a master class of professional wrestling as he did in a bout with Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat during Wrestlemania III.

Next up is another professional wrestler and current World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Superstar who has made his mark at Wrestlemania, the one and only Undertaker. The Undertaker has enjoyed a legendary career highlighted by his expansive Wrestlemania winning streak that extended to 21 consecutive wins before he fell to Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania XXX. Most recently, the Undertaker headlined this year's SummerSlam, emerging as the victor in a grudge match against the aforementioned Lesnar.

One more pro wrestling legend coming to "WWE 2K16" is none other than The Rock. The Rock is arguably the most successful crossover wrestling star in the history of the business, parlaying his in-ring fame to a career in Hollywood where he has starred in numerous movies. The Rock has made special returns to the WWE over the past few years, although he is not a regular performer.

Other WWE Superstars and Divas coming to "WWE 2K16" include André the Giant, Dean Ambrose, Curtis Axel, Batista, Edge, Aiden English, Fandango, Simon Gotch, Luke Harper, Chris Jericho, John "Bradshaw" Layfield, Santino Marella, Stephanie McMahon, Natalya, Erick Rowan, Ravishing Rick Rude, R-Truth, Ryback, and Sergeant Slaughter.

In related news, players can now reportedly create up to 100 new wrestlers in "WWE 2K16," according to Bleacher Report. That number is up from the 25 available create-a-player slots from last year's game.

"WWE 2K16" will be released on Oct. 27.
