To celebrate this week's episode of WWE SmackDown, THQ has confirmed with us ten more WWE Superstars that will appear in the upcoming PS2 exclusive wrestling game, WWE SmackDown vs. RAW 2006. This brings the confirmed character count to 25 and accounts for just over half of the entire lineup (not counting the divas or legends).

As for the characters themselves, they include the injured (but popular) Eugene, the legendary "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, the 7 foot-plus Big Show, The 5-Time WCW Champion Booker T, the crazy weirdo Heidenreich, the ex-Resistance member Rene Dupree, the heroic super guy known as The Hurricane, the balding brothers Doug and Danny Basham, and of course, the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels.

Listed below is the entire confirmed lineup so far, but it's by no means the finished roster:

Booker T	Carlito Caribbean Cool
Chris Benoit	Christian
