"WWE 2K22" is delayed, and it is because of massive controversies behind the game's developer and franchise owner, 2K Sports, and WWE. The World Wrestling Entertainment is known for its aggressive tactics and differences with its athletes, having a lot of controversies in the past year about its management. 

Last year, WWE CEO Vince MacMahon has shut down the Twitch accounts of its wrestlers under the contract of the company. This is because they are legally bound not to have any other platforms where they could use to profit, apart from the WWE wrestling competitions.
