Prerelease:WWE Raw 2

WWE RAW 2 is the sequel to WWE RAW, and went through significant changes during development.

Removed Animations, Arenas & Superstars

• Originally, Jeff Hardy was supposed to be playable in the WWE RAW 2 video game for XBOX, but was cut before the game could be completed for drugs & alcohol reasons, as well as refusing rehab. They even removed an animation of him doing a swanton bomb from the ladders, like he does in real life as a result of his carelessness.
• Scott Hall was originally supposed to be playable in the game, just like the aforementioned Jeff Hardy, but he was removed from the game for similar reasons.
• Earlier in the game, the RAW arena from the previous game was to be accessible, as well as a 2001 version of the SmackDown arena, but both were replaced by the 2002-2005 RAW arena, & the 2002-2007 SmackDown arena.

Alternate Models

• Much like in the previous games, Christian, Kurt Angle, & the Rock would've had their previous hairstyles. Also, Matt Hardy would have looked no different from how he looked in the first game. In addition, the graphics were also a bit more bland, like the previous game, before going with the final over-exaggerated sheen, making all the WWE superstars look like something straight out of Street Fighter IV, despite the shows taking place at night.
