Earlier we reported that Tessa Blanchard's likeness was used in WWE 2K Battlegrounds, despite the fact that she's not in WWE and the original photographer's permission was not even requested for it.
Now, after all the backlash that came out due to this, it's been made apparent that the next patch for this game will remove the graphic that uses Blanchard's likeness.
I just want to thank @mrdockins for all the help with this late last night and today. Awesome person and great representation needed to get this matter solved properly and effectively.

UPDATE: @2KBattlegrounds and I have spoken. The image is going to be removed to tonight in a patch update.
