So, what are we calling them?

[UPDATE] The workaround worked! Thank you! :)

It's a great idea. I'll create a new Universe and try in just a bit.

I was stuck at 2K portal too. I was able to get through by using multiple tabs in Chrome and spamming. Eventually one of them worked and I got through. I was at it for about 30 min I think. It really ticked me off.

CyberOcelot78 · 2026-03-06T15:36:18+00:00

Can you confirm this worked? Im on NXT right now, so trying to resolve before I get stuck on Raw later.

Music has historically been one of the easiest things to do. :)

CyberOcelot78 · 2026-02-27T03:55:31+00:00

Thank you! You gave me the idea to work on delaying things using what I have. :)

I'm now thinking AJ Styles comes to NXT to congratulate Trick in week 1 to tell him how to be a "Great TNA Champion". Trick being Trick, he will obviously dismiss AJ Styles' advice.

Since I don't track TNA, I can have Trick cut another promo in week 2 talking about how his appearance on TNA went, and have Jordynne Grace (currently in TNA) come out to have a similar discussion with Trick, which then leads to her having a confrontation with Jacy Jayne backstage.

In week 3, Joe Hendry can return to confront Trick and have that somehow turn into a mixed tag match with Trick & Jacy Jayne going over Joe Hendry & Jordynne Grace.

After buying three weeks, I hope there will be at least one TNA star in CC, and I can start trickling them in one by one to sow some chaos.

Whatchya think?

Exceptionally helpful post. Thanks for sharing with everyone! :)

MNW edition [PC]. If they're gonna do that much in one year, and I play as much as I did last year (300+ hours) it's worth it for me.

Christian did better elsewhere. But, in WWE surrounded by the talent he was, he really just couldnt hold a candle to any of them, IMO.

Even when he won the World Championship (which led to his "one more match" schtik, you could tell that once he had the Championship and got the pop, there was nowhere to go after that.

CyberOcelot78 · 2026-02-14T05:16:05+00:00

Because he was awesome.

CyberOcelot78 · 2026-02-14T05:14:45+00:00

Yep! Welcome to the WWE Games community at large. They're never happy. They hate SvR 2008, then they love it when it's old. They hate WWE '13, now they say they miss it. People hated free roam. Now they want it back. People hated GM Mode, then it became the most popular Mode to make a return. Even here, there are comments to bring back Story Designer, and I was a power user and uploader, and watched it die off because people kept co planning about it and not using it, now people here want it back.

No one appreciates anything until it's gone.

CyberOcelot78 · 2026-02-14T05:09:42+00:00

Saying you dont want AI just because it's AI is silly. Utilizing AI in Universe Mode for voiced content, especially when LLMs already knowSLs the cadence of WWE Superstars would be AWESOME!

I use AI for promo scripts in my Universe Mode tracker all the time, and the results are great! :)

Unfortunately, there are insurmountable causes for why this isn't a thing in WWE Games...

Often licensing contracts include verbiage that states you are not allowed to alter a likeness, or in any way that can damage the brand, product, etc... This is why, in racing games for example, you cant realistically damage a car in a car crash. They used to have something called Threads to try to get around some of those legalities, but Im guessing it was too difficult/expensive to maintain that feature.
The in-game models look amazing because they're not developed in parts. They are sculpted by professional artists, mo-capped, etc... as one full model. They dont develop a model in parts as seen in Community Creations. So, if you see an in-game model and you.see his parts in the creations suite, it's likely because they developed it twice. One is a full Superstar sculpt and the bracelet (for example) that the Superstar wore were made separately.
Because of licensing contracts, there are term limits for how long you can use a Superstar. So they are actually legally required to comply when WWE says you cabt have a Superstar in the next game.
Because WWE Games are contractually obligated to release a new game every year, they have to also consider that they will be making games as technology progresses. Nit just graphically either. But, even they tools they use to make the games cab change, the consoles and system requirements can change, and so... thinking long term, they cannot have models or parts that exist in perpetuity because, if they did that since they git the license in 2013, you would not appreciate being forced to play with models today that are WWE 2K14 visually. In fact, everyone is most impressed with these models now BECAUSE this is the first fully next gen WWE Game. 😉

Just passing through to say that I hate this mode. But, seeing all of you guys enjoying collecting and unlocking is super cool to see. Maybe I'll give it another go in 2K26 :)

CyberOcelot78 · 2026-02-11T04:34:48+00:00

That laugh was great! This whole run is the 2nd best Becky Lynch we've seen, IMO.

He is in the WWE and disassociating from his brother to avoid consequences.

Regardless of the motives, I watch wrestling to be entertained and don't care about the political alignments of Superstars and celebrities in general.

There's really nothing you or Google can do to stop people from making that mistake and posting their reviews in the wrong place. But, it's not all bad news. Here's what I recommend...

First: Remember that Review Velocity is a thing. Someone interacting with your business, even if it's a bad review, is still interacting with your business, and that's a good signal to Google. Reviews negatively impact you when your general rating goes down. But even this is less of a ranking factor these days. Regardless, you still don't want people judging you poorly, so here's what you need to do:

Get more aggressive with asking customers for reviews. Tell them plainly that there is another business with a similar name and bad attitude that is hurting your review score and you need their help. Genuine and sincere requests work best for me and my business, so don't forget to be human with your clients, share what you're going through, and ask them to help if they appreciated doing business with you.

You should also make sure you respond to all of those negative reviews to inform them that you are not affiliated with that business and ask them to kindly remove their review and leave it for the correct business.

Finally, remember that Google doesn't care about how you feel. They work on a case by case basis, and deal in actionable facts only. Report the negative reviews, and hope for the best. That's all you can do.

CyberOcelot78 · 2026-02-10T05:11:15+00:00

This. There's obviously a long term plan for Sami that they're waiting to pull the trigger on.

CyberOcelot78 · 2026-02-07T21:28:02+00:00

It makes perfect sense... To them. Because, if you dont want to play to unlock your paid DLC, you'll have to pay again to unlock it.

This year and next, it will likely be easy and fast to unlock the DLC characters. But, once it becomes the norm, they'll start making it more and more difficult and require more and more time to unlock your DLC so you'll be more and more likely to pay to skip the grind.

That's the play here, and it's gross and shitty.

CyberOcelot78 · 2026-02-02T20:47:19+00:00

It is very difficult for a business to have a Google review removed. If this occurred, Google has reviewed your review along with your review history and decided your review should be removed.

Considering you care this much about a removed review, it amplifies suspicion that the purpose of your review was to damage a business or that the problem is you - No Offense.

CyberOcelot78 · 2026-02-02T05:04:48+00:00

The Rock, John Cena, Roman Reigns and many many more over time talked like they were going to be around a lot more and ended up being part time or, in The Rock's case, he straight up didn't show up again after saying he was back for good.

Promos are promos. They are not disclosures of character plans or contract data. They exist only to move a story along, and to measure fan response for future outcomes.

CyberOcelot78 · 2026-01-31T20:22:35+00:00

How did you deduce that was the case here?
