A legacy worth revisiting

The ring changes hands.

THQ and Yuke's started the SmackDown run in 2000 and kept the partnership going until 2012. When THQ collapsed, Take-Two bought the rights and folded them into 2K. Visual Concepts took full charge with WWE 2K20, a rough start that led to a rebuilt WWE 2K22.
