New York, NY – August 15, 2013 – 2K today announced Mike Rodriguez of Corona, Calif. as the North America winner, along with Alexis Zankowitch of Saint-Martin-le-Vinoux, France as the international winner, of the WWE® 2K14 video game cover artwork contest. The winning entries, both featuring WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan, will appear exclusively inside all retail copies of the game, respective to each geographic region, when the video game hits shelves on October 29, 2013 for North America and November 1, 2013 internationally.
