If you’re going to make a CAW at all you’ll need to play it through RTE anyway to get it stats and skills, so might as well do that.

I’m taking Adam Cole to RTE first to get a handle on it, then build a dumb CAW and go next.

CAWs need to go through to improve stats, and you get more stats on higher difficulty levels apparently.

This is a pretty insignificant complaint, but what is up with the DVD-quality video in this game? A concession for the switch version's filesize? These shows are filmed in HD aren't they???

It looks alright on the OLED :v: but it’s the in-game looking like it’s got Vaseline smeared on that sucks the most in handheld mode.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Created a CAW named Yambag Jones, had him start RTE. I was doing a fan meet and greet and mentioned that I wouldn't want to be elected President, I'd just seize power.

I was then immediately accosted by dustin rhodes at baggage claim and forced to drive him from LA to Austin

TOP-3 selling physical game in UK. Sold 40% less than WWE2K23 when it was released, which sounds quite impressive number to me (2K23 was the top selling game on that week).

There's no specific Rainmaker, only the 2K WWE one where it's a German suplex into the rainmaker

There are multiple rainmakers but it’s called something lariat.

I’ve figured it out

R2 turns a downed opponent over
R1 rotates a grappled opponent.

Also I’m 100% going to lose this handicap match vs the Bucks. I hate handicap matches

If you can get em outside the ring and just suplex the gently caress out of one of them into the barricades.

That is how I defeated Yuka and Brodie Lee

Match was over in thirty seconds. One of them hit me before the bell rang and I never had a chance to recover. Rage quit, I’ll try again later

Another useful tip, If your guy has the bail out perk, use that poo poo like crazy.


Eddie Kingston has it. Just press in the right stock when down in the right thumb stick

I'm playing as Ricky in the RTE, facing CM Punk for the first Rampage. Right before I pin him after using my finisher, I fall through the ring and start getting timed out. He won by count out. Glad I joined the Dark Order.

That just leads to them hitting me with topes and getting signatures faster. I’m just gonna eat the L next time. It doesn’t help that I’m terrible at reversals.

I beat Punk in his return match in a little over a minute. I somehow countered a bunch of his moves by button mashing like an idiot and got my signature and finisher right away. He barely got any offense in.

Can you imagine? Bitter old wrestlers are always waxing nostalgic about causing riots, might've seen one there if that happened in real life.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

At least pin breaks are just as busted for the AI. Had a triple threat match vs Mox and Kenny, Mox hits the Death Rider on me, Kenny quickly takes the pin. Mox proceeds to drop five axehandles that hit nothing as the ref counts 3

Guh, the cheese online is real. The CAW's with Wardlow's moveset and unyielding presence to no-sell everything you throw at them, plus it seems like spamming both bumpers is now just the start because I've played a few people today who jiggle like crazy when you're attacking them because they're mashing bumpers like crazy which leads to a lot of reversals. Also people rolling out of the ring every time they're in danger to taunt spam until they get special. Hopefully they address some of these things because allowing CAW's into the ranked match pool is really loving dumb.
