WWE 2K24: Start geeking out over some jam-packed MyRISE experiences

Can Friday come soon enough? Spoiler alert? It’s going to be a massive celebration around these parts once WWE 2K24 drops on March 8 and rest assured, you’re going to feel it up and down Attack The Culture. But in the meantime, how about gearing up for the game’s MyRISE loaded with a couple fresh storylines?

Whether you want to go for gold in the women’s division or want to grind it out for the men’s belts, it’s all about starting and finishing your story.

Today, 2K revealed the WWE® 2K24 MyRISE trailer, offering a taste of two new storylines: the women’s division Unleashed experience and the men’s division Undisputed experience. Players are tasked with creating an original Superstar to forge their career path and leave an unforgettable legacy, with 80 rewards to be unlocked, including arenas, Paybacks, entrances, MyFACTION cards, and championship belts. Between the two experiences, there are over six hours of original dialogue, featuring franchise-first voiceover performances from Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio, Mick Foley, Shotzi, and more.

In Unleashed, the women’s division experience, players step into the boots of a wrestler who founded the hottest promotion on the indie scene. But when given the opportunity to share her talents on the larger stage of WWE, will she “Unleash” her full potential, or hesitate and hold back?

In Undisputed, Roman Reigns follows in the footsteps of The Rock and heads to Hollywood, vacating his championship and leaving big boots to fill for our protagonist. But the “Tribal Chief” won’t stay gone for long and doesn’t appreciate a pretender to his throne.

Both experiences offer players multiple choices to make that will impact how their careers unfold, including whether to embody the archetype of a Hollywood star, supernatural character, or villainous, brutal heel, and whether to align with authority figures William Regal and The Miz. In addition to original arenas and championship belts, for the first time ever, players will be able to unlock MyRISE-specific MyFACTION* cards from both Undisputed and Unleashed experiences. In Undisputed, this includes cards for fan-favorite characters such as Cole Quinn, Chosen, Slade, Tavish, and Xavier Woods’ alter ego, Zero.

Three editions of WWE 2K24 will be available:

• The Deluxe Edition will be available digitally worldwide, and physically in the US and select territories, on Tuesday, March 5, 2024**, and will be available physically for the rest of the world on Friday, March 8, 2024;

I’m afraid I’ve got some good news.

Also appearing in the Bad News U Pack and making their WWE 2K franchise debuts are NXT standouts Andre Chase, Nathan Frazer and Damon Kemp. These Superstars bring 46 new moves and taunts into the game, which can also be used for custom Superstars in the creation suite. Each playable Superstar also comes with their own MyFACTION card, and DLC is available for individual purchase, or as part of Season Pass***, Deluxe Edition, and Icon Edition of WWE 2K23.

2K recently announced the inaugural WWE 2K23 Hall of Champions Invitational****. Eight WWE 2KNextMaker content creators put out a call to action to the community-at-large to find their tag team partner for a WWE 2K23 tournament. Community participants will be selected by submitting a promotional video on social media, to be judged by 2K and NextMakers based on criteria including originality, creativity, passion and skill demonstrated playing WWE 2K23. Those selected to participate will be paired with a NextMaker and begin play in an eight-team elimination bracket, “The Qualifier,” which will consist of online play. After two rounds of play, the final two teams will advance to a physical event “The Finals,” with more details yet to come. To enter, community members must create an up to one minute, unique video around why they deserve to be selected to compete in the WWE 2K23 Hall of Champions Invitational, use the hashtags #WWE2K23, #HallOfChampions, and #contest, and post their video as a reply comment on WWE 2K’s contest Tweet on Twitter, or post organically on their Instagram/TikTok channels (with hashtags and tagging @WWEGames).

The WWE Saudi Arabia sale is all types of wildness

Say it ain’t so? Turns out there’s a massive amount of attention on WWE being sold and while sale hype isn’t new, the idea the franchise is being sold to a Saudi Arabia group or investor? Wild.

The speculation is blowing up like crazy and while some feel this is going to be life-changing for WWE fans, some feel there will hardly be any difference. Stay tuned.

Rhea Ripley and Buddy Mathews are workout goals all holiday season

No offense but the grind honestly never slows down around these parts and while in the past it’s been about sipping cocoa with the family, it’s up, up and away for the immediate future on the Attack The Culture - and now Adult The Culture - grind too. So seeing WWE’s Rhea Ripley and her low-key bae and AEW star Buddy Mathews putting in workout goals? Motivational.

Continuing to get better at their crafts? You’ve gotta love it. Rhea is showing no signs of slowing down on her workout goals anytime soon.
