WWE 2K23's Showcase mode features an iconic wrestler who has become a household name over the number of years and the quality of matches that he has wrestled, John Cena. With this year's format being shaken up to share more insights about the featured wrestler, we are actually pretty happy with how it was done – Playing against John Cena was a hoot as it gave us a chance to beat the Cenation leader over and over and over again. We have listed below the WWE 2K23 Showcase mode unlockables for you to know what you'll be getting into.
What is Showcase Mode?
There are a lot of things to look forward to in this year's iteration of the WWE 2K game like the updated roster, the new MyGM with new GMs and Match Types, MyFACTION that gets Multiplayer mode, and of course the Showcase mode.
The WWE 2K franchise has had Showcase mode for quite a while now and for those who don't know, Showcase mode typically focuses on the career highlights of one particular superstar and in this case, John Cena. Throughout this version of the Showcase mode, you get to play as John Cena's opponents throughout his legendary career which is a big switch up from previous Showcase modes. You will be given different objectives throughout the match that you will need to complete in order to relive and recreate the match that took place in the recent past. As a first-time Showcase Mode player after a long time, it was pretty awesome to see how the game would go cut scenes to the actual match and it's pretty awesome to beat the Cenation leader.
As you beat John Cena multiple times in the Showcase mode, you will get to unlock several items that you can use in the game afterward. This includes different versions of John Cena throughout the years as well as his opponents specific to the year that he has fought them in the squared circle. Of course, it unlocks the Arena where you guys had your match at.
