With the release of every 2K video game, one of the first things that people do is check the ratings of their favorite WWE Superstars. Most of the time, it leads to outrage as certain wrestlers are ranked too low in the eyes of the fans. However, what about the flipside of that situation? What about the wrestlers who are ranked way higher than they deserve to be. Well, that is exactly what is going to be covered in this list.

There have been tons of examples of 2K rating a wrestler far too high. Whether it be because they have been pushed or because they have recently won a title, there have been many examples of it, and in this list, we will be focusing on the times 2K rated a woman too high.
10 Zelina Vega: WWE 2K20 (83)
Zelina Vega is a great talker and a fantastic manager, but her rating in WWE 2K20 was ridiculously too high. She has only had limited in-ring exposure and while she has impressed, Vega hasn't quite thrived to that level.
For comparison sakes, in this game, Sasha Banks was only ranked at 80. There is simply no way that Zelina Vega who has had very few WWE matches should be rated higher than someone of Sasha's level, proving she was rated too high on this game.
9 Nia Jax: WWE 2K19 (84)
Nia Jax has always been a dominant talent from the day she first debuted in WWE. However, that doesn't mean she needs to be rated quite as high as she was in WWE 2K19, with only a few women actually being put higher than her.

For example, Charlotte Flair was only rated one more point than her. This was also the same rating that Asuka had on the video game, and while Jax is a great wrestler, she isn't quite on the same level as Asuka and the ratings should have reflected that.
8 Kharma: WWE 2K13 (79)
Everyone knows Awesome Kong. She's one of the best women's wrestlers of all time, but her greatest moments didn't happen inside a WWE ring. In fact, she never had a real match in WWE outside of her surprise appearance in the Royal Rumble match.
Therefore the fact she was rated at 79 in WWE 2K13 was incredibly too high. Kharma could have been a dominant powerhouse in the company, but sadly things didn't work out. But in this game, she was actually ranked higher than Lita, one of WWE's all-time greats.
7 Brie Bella: WWE 2K15 (83)
The Bella Twins were always massively popular, there's no doubt about that. But at this point in their career, they weren't exactly well-known for their in-ring work. They were strong characters, but not the greatest wrestlers.

While they did make huge improvements throughout their career, for this video game a rating of 83 was simply too high for Brie to gain. She was actually the highest rated female in the entire game alongside of her sister, which simply didn't make sense.
6 Eva Marie: WWE 2K17 (77)
Another rating that was far too high was Eva Marie's score in WWE 2K17. For some reason, she was given a score of 77, despite the fact that she had very little in-ring experience and wasn't given much opportunity on television because of it.
The fact that the year after, with more experience, she dropped down to 67 is a clear indication that this rating was far too high for her. Clearly bouncing off her role on Total Divas rather than actually focusing on her wrestling career.
5 Stephanie McMahon: WWE 2K18 (79)
While Stephanie McMahon clearly got a higher rating simply due to the fact she's a McMahon family member, 79 was an outrageous oversight on the game's behalf. For starters, she isn't even a wrestler.

Sure, she has competed at times, but nowhere near to the level of her brother, and a rating of 79 put her way ahead of some of the active members on the roster, both in the male and female division, which simply didn't make sense.
4 Aksana: WWE 2K14 (78)
Aksana was someone that seemingly only WWE management saw something in, as inside the ring she was never up to the level good enough to be in WWE. She was clearly brought in for her looks, and her rating of 78 was far too high in this video game.
Aksana somehow had a higher rating than AJ Lee and was only just one point below Lita. It didn't make sense to have her rated this highly as she wasn't even a title threat on the show, with this being one score the game just got totally wrong.
3 Kelly Kelly: WWE 2K13 (77)
In comparison to later games, all of the women in WWE 2K13 were rated fairly low but when comparing to the women within the game itself, Kelly Kelly's score was incredibly high.

Even though Kelly Kelly was a popular wrestler, her in-ring skills were never quite up to the levels as her peers in this game. For comparison sake, AJ Lee and Natalya had the exact same score, who are two of the best women's wrestlers WWE has ever had.
2 Nikki Bella: WWE 2K18 (85)
Nikki Bella had a stellar year heading into the run-up of WWE 2K18, therefore it isn't a surprise that the company opted to give her a high rating. However, despite her star power, this rating was far too high for her.
Nikki did improve drastically in the ring and she got to the point where she was a very impressive talent. However, in this game, she was rated higher than Bayley and Becky Lynch, the same as Alexa Bliss and only just lower than Charlotte Flair. It simply wasn't a fair reflection of in-ring ability.
1 Ronda Rousey: WWE 2K20 (90)
The worst example of a wrestler being rated far too high was in the most recent game where 2K gave Ronda Rousey a rating of 90. While she was certainly a great wrestler who dominated in the world of WWE, only Becky Lynch got the same rating as her.
That means that Ronda was rated higher than countless amazing wrestlers such as Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks. While Ronda was dominant, she was nowhere near as talented as those wrestlers, which makes this rating far too generous.
