Wwe 2k23 matches11/25/2023 ![]() Stratton then picked up Hail and slammed her into the post, and then followed that up by wrapping Hail around the post and stretching the challenger as painfully as possible. ![]() Stratton got one locked in and set about stretching Hail, but Hail countered the move and tried to hyper-extend the elbow of Stratton. Hail and Stratton locked up and Stratton tried to go for a pin but the referee reminded her it was a submission match. ![]() Hail never tapped, but Andre Chase threw the red flag and called it for his star student, and Stratton successfully retained her Championship. ![]() Stratton kept Hail in the center of the ring and reapplied the hold constantly, never letting Hail regroup. Stratton was able to maneuver around that throughout most of the match though, and the Champ would lock in a Boston Crab on Hail. With the stipulation being a submission match, Hail was confident she could make Stratton tap once again, and at several points looked to lock in the Kimura. It’s a little chaotic and matches can seemingly go on a long time as they only finish with a pinfall or submission, but it’s a worthy addition to an already jam-packed game.After Chase U's Thea Hail made Tiffany Stratton tap during their last match for the WWE NXT Women's Championship, Hail earned herself a second shot at the Title at the Great American Bash. WWE 2K23 does a very decent job of conveying the madness of them well. In real life, these matches invariably present some of the best spots you’ll see each year, and often horrendous, genuine injuries. Only when all of the superstars are inside the cage does the match officially start. It starts as a 1v1 fight across two interconnected rings surrounded by a steel cage, with additional superstars entering in intervals. You can play in a 3v3 or 4v4 WarGames match with either male or female wrestlers making up the teams. It was actually created by the late Dusty Rhodes (Cody and Dustin’s father) and used in the late 80s, but its most recent public airing was during last year’s SummerSlam and so it makes its way into the game. The match was made most famous by being at the centre of NXT events over the years but actually dates back a lot longer. 2K also teases a unique new take on the documentary style 2K. The dual-ring, double cage match can be played 3v3 or 4v4 single-player or online. As for features, so far, the biggest new addition is WarGames match type (WWEs version). Where you do get a more significant extra is in the match types as WarGames is now available. This year’s cover superstar is the 16-time World Champion and master of implied invisibility, John Cena. Both stories are made all the better with having decent voice acting from the genuine WWE cast. You again get to create a superstar, although you now also get the option to import one that’s been previously made, and must take them through a series of fights tied together with decent scripting. The campaign mode – MyRise – features two separate stories this time, one for male wrestlers, the other for females. Still, it’s a great mode to whip through as you don’t have to play each match (although you can), you can just simulate them to speed through the weeks. It really comes down to who you choose for your roster, how you book the matches, and whether you can control your budget. There are more GMs to choose to play as this time, including Xavier Woods, Tyler Breeze and Eric Bishoff, plus the ability to take over WCW, while others control Raw, Smackdown and/or NXT.Įach brand and GM has their own bonuses that you start the game with, but they end up very similar. It puts you in the shoes of the general manager of a brand of your choosing and pits you against rivals who work towards getting their own shows to the top of the pile. That’s because the latest MyGM mode builds on last year’s reintroduction massively. There are a few surprises to unlock too, and you can create your own for good measure. The healthy selection includes the staples – Raw, Smackdown, NXT (old school and new), etc – but there’s also a whole tonne of WCW pay-per-view arenas to go alongside WWE’s. The arenas too seem better defined and there’s certainly a lot of them. There are some notable exceptions and dodgy hair movement is back – we’re looking at you Cameron Grimes – but this is a more visually accomplished game all-round. That includes animation, which is much smoother than even last year’s impressive effort, and better definition in muscle groups and faces than before (on the PS5 version tested, anyway). The character models seem to have been upgraded significantly. At least the stars (mainly) look more like their real-world equivalents this time around. Plus, with the amount of content available to the several game modes, we can excuse any minor caveats. And, at least Sami Zayn now sports his latest, post-Bloodline T-shirt. However, considering the lead-in time and amount of work put in, that can’t be helped.
