WWE has promised that the upcoming Smackdown vs Raw 2009 is going to have the largest roster in the series history.Based on various photos, videos, and interviews, we can confirm that the following wrestlers are already included in Smackdown vs Raw 2009.
Chris Jericho
Jeff Hardy
John Cena
Matt Hardy
Mr Kennedy
Randy Orton
Undertaker
As we get closer to the release date, WWE should start revealing more of the wrestlers that are going to be in Smackdown vs Raw 2009.
Good Bets
The following wrestlers have yet to be confirmed for Smackdown vs Raw 2009, but there's a very good chance that they'll be included.
Batista
Big Show
CM Punk
Edge
Finlay
JBL
Kane
MVP
Rey Mysterio
Shawn Michaels
Triple H
Umaga
Considering how popular these guys are, and considering how they've been involved in previous versions of the game, there's a very good chance we'll see them.
The Rest
There's a lot of rumors going around right now that since Smackdown vs Raw 2009 is going to focus more on tag team wrestling that there's going to be a lot more tag teams included.That's not necessarily the case.The game will focus on tag team wrestling itself as opposed to tag teams.Things like the "hot tag", tag team shared momentum, and double team moves are what the developers are referring to when they talk about focusing more on tag team wrestling.If there's enough room on the roster, then we'll probably see some of the tag teams get included.Teams like Cryme Tyme and Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder have the best shot at being included.John Morrison and the Miz should probably get in the game as singles wrestlers.The Highlanders have very little chance of making it into the game. Sadly, there's not much of a chance for Paul London and Brian Kendrick either.
