THQ transferred the WWE gaming licence to Take-Two Interactive before shutting down. There was a brief period of time when the latest entry, WWE ’13, was unavailable in stores as Take-Two subsidiary 2K Sports took reigns of the franchise.

Everything is now back to the way it was. WWE ’13 can be purchased once again, and the game is exactly the same – only the publisher logo on the box has changed.
