CM Punk’s chant and rivalry with John Cena will be present in WWE 2K15, which is coming out later this year.

Punk all but retired from wrestling earlier this year, and he likely won’t come back to the cage any time in the near future. He left after the Royal Rumble in 2014.

“Nope, thank YOU.Thanks for all the help and support through the years. Health and happiness above all.Don’t ever take any [expletive] from anybody,” he wrote on Twitter.

2K Sports, the maker of WWE 2K15, said that Showcase Mode will allow players to use his character.

The company also released an image of Punk decked out in his gear.

“The moment Triple H ended his longtime friendship with ‘The Heartbreak Kid’ by slamming him with a Pedigree was a defining moment in WWE history,” Chris Snyder, Vice President of Marketing at 2K, said in a press release. “No fan can deny the fierce competition marking the notorious battles waged between Cena and Punk. These two rivalries are firmly etched in WWE history, and 2K Showcase enables fans to take part in those memorable experiences.”

Wrestler Triple H also added: “Featuring two of the biggest rivalries in WWE history, including my storied matches with Shawn Michaels, there’s no doubt fans will experience the thrill first-hand through WWE 2K15. 2K Showcase brings WWE to life in a way our fans have never seen before through a video game.”

WWE 2K15 will be out Oct. 31, 2014 for the PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PS3.
