Back in July it was announced that WWE would be making its way back onto Nintendo console, with the latest title, WWE 2K18 launching on the Switch. While it was originally set for release on Oct 17th alongside the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC versions, the Switch version was delayed. Fret not Nintendo and WWE fans, for you will see the launch of the newest title on the Switch by the end of the week!
