What platforms will this be available on?

The Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One iiRcade and Steam.

Will you be able to create a wrestler?

This feature will not be included at launch, as we're focused on making the gameplay as fun as possible. However, if the game has enough support when it launches, then it's certainly something that we'll look into.
