The man standing between the grand finalist and one million dollars, AJ Styles said;
Embracing ‘Never Say Never’ is exactly what these finalists have accomplished in the virtual ring. My journey as the game’s cover Superstar has been absolutely incredible, and it’s all now leading to an epic showdown at Barclays Centre, with the WWE Universe able to watch all the action in a variety of ways.
The WWE 2K19 Million Dollar Challenge finale will be nothing short of phenomenal.
Hoey said;
If I win the MDC I would take a few weeks to process it all and try not to spend a cent. Then I would buy front row seats to every remaining WWE pay-per-view of 2019, pay off my university fees, put a deposit on a house, film a movie, pre-order WWE 2K20 and then put the rest towards a good cause.
To secure his place, Hoey had to complete the Million Dollar Tower in-game and submit a promotional video showing how they would defeat AJ Style in a one-on-one match.
We’ll be cheering for him as he competes for the ultimate prize.
WWE 2K19 is available now.
