Once again, we were at the WWE2k Pre-Summer Slam party and we were talking metal with a who's who of WWE superstars including Olympic Gold medalist Kurt Angle, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, Braun Strowman, WWE champion Jinder Mahal, Alexa Bliss, Bobby Roode and more. We talk favorite rock and metal acts, which metal musician they would pick as a tag team partner and the new WWE2k '18 video game, which you can pre-order here. View our reports from previous years: 2016 with Brock Lesnar and Goldberg; 2015 with Steve Austin, Dolph Ziggler and the Bella Twins.
