The slogan for WWE '12, the next step in THQ and WWE's long-running WWE SmackDown vs. Raw series, is "Bigger, badder, better." With the unveiling of the confirmed roster at Saturday's Summerslam Fan Axxess event, let's put the much anticipated title to task.

With WWE's SummerSlam, "The Biggest Event of the Summer", happening in hours from now (we are operating from the Asia timezone), as per THQ and WWE's time-honored tradition, the confirmed roster for WWE '12, the rejuvenated reboot of their best-selling video game franchise, has been unveiled during Saturday's Summerslam Fan Axxess event by The Miz, Todd Grisham, and Jerry Lawler.

Without further ado, here's the confirmed sixty WWE Superstars scheduled to appear in the game:

In addition, continuing THQ's annoying tradition of releasing DLC material on the exact day of release of the title, Jerry "The King" Lawler has been confirmed as a downloadable character and will be available on November 22nd, the day the game launches.

That said, it sure is interesting to have our hands on debut characters like Daniel Bryan and Sin Cara, as well as new Legends such as Vader, Smash and Ax from Demolition, and returning characters like Kevin Nash and Booker T.
