For the first time ever, the WWE series is available on eighth generation video game systems. This leap to the next generation brings with it some changes and additions that the franchise has never seen before.
Before you can get to conquering the squared circle, you should take note of the game’s control scheme. These controls are for both the Xbox One and PS4 versions of the game. You can get this control information by starting the game, pressing start, and then simply going to the Controls.

To begin the basic exhibition matches, you need to go to the “Play” option from the main menu. It is here that you can try out the different match types available.
Match types are categorized and organized by the amount of wrestlers that are in each match. There are seven main types that you can partake in. Some match types are available under more than one of the categories.
In this section of the guide, I will note which match types are available under each category and give a brief explanation on how to win each kind of match. If a match repeats, I won’t redo the explanation.
==========
ONE ON ONE
==========
One on One is just as it sounds. It’s a battle of one superstar against another superstar.
NORMAL – Normal matches can end by disqualification, count-out, pinfall, or submission. This is the most common kind of wrestling match.
EXTREME RULES – No rules and weapons aren’t only welcome…they’re allowed.
FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE – Similar in concept to the Extreme Rules Match, but the difference is that you can defeat your opponent outside the ring, whereas in an Extreme Rules Match, you can only defeat them by forcing them to pin or submit in the ring.
IRON MAN – There is a set time limit. Score is kept between the wrestlers, with whoever has earned the most pinfalls or submissions by the time the time limit runs out wins.
LAST MAN STANDING – The goal here is to brutalize your opponent so badly that they are unable to get up within the count of 10.
NO HOLDS BARRED – No DQ and no count-out match.
STEEL CAGE – The goal is to escape from the cage or to defeat your opponent in the ring with pinfall or submission.
SUBMISSION – The only way to win this match is wear your opponent down to the point that you can force them to tap out.
HELL IN A CELL – A regular match in the sense that you have to pin or submit your opponent in the middle of the ring, however you can utilize the Hell in a Cell for added damage.
TABLE – Defeat your opponent in this match by sending them through a table.
TLC – Pull down whatever is hanging above the ring. Usually it’s a Money in the Bank briefcase. Tables, ladders, and chairs are scattered around the ringside area to help you accomplish this.

=============
TRIPLE THREAT
=============
In WWE, a Triple Threat Match is a match where three wrestlers battle one another in a free-for-all setting. Three match types are available under the Triple Threat category:
Normal
Extreme Rules
Hell in a Cell
To Top
=====
4-MAN
=====
These matches include four participants, either working together or battling it out in a free-for-all setting.
TAG TEAM – There is two teams, with two people on each team. You have to tag in and out to become the legal participant. The match can only end involving the legal wrestlers.
FATAL-4-WAY – A four way free for all match. Think “triple threat”, except with one more person added.
ELIMINATION TAG – Same as a regular tag, except the match doesn’t end on the first pinfall or submission. Instead the person that has suffered the pinfall or submission is eliminated and the match continues until one team has been completely eliminated from the contest.
FATAL-4-WAY EXTREME RULES – An Extreme Rules Match with four wrestlers.
To Top
=====
6-MAN
=====
There’s a total of six participants in these matches. Some of the matches that are included in this category we have already covered.
Tag Team
Elimination Tag
Hell in a Cell
And here are the new match types introduced in the 6-man category:
LADDER – A six-person ladder match. The goal here is to pull down the briefcase by climbing the ladder.
BATTLE ROYAL – Eliminate the other five wrestlers that are in the match.
ELIMINATION CHAMBER – Two wrestlers start out in the ring and four others are in pods. After a certain amount of time, the wrestlers inside the pods are released. Wrestlers that are pinned or are forced to submit are eliminated from the match. The match keeps going until only one wrestler remains.
To Top
============
ROYAL RUMBLE
============
A Royal Rumble Match is a match where you have to toss your opponents over the top rope to win. There are 30 participants, with two starting at the beginning of the match. After a certain amount of time, a new wrestler runs out and is added to the match. This match continues until only one wrestler remains.
To Top
===========
TOURNAMENTS
===========
There are three different types of tournaments that you can play through in WWE 2K15.
GOLD RUSH – The ultimate goal of this is to win a championship at the end of the tournament. If the title isn’t vacant, that means that the end of the tournament will have whoever won the tournament wrestling for the championship in question.
KING OF THE RING – A standard single elimination tournament in the WWE.
TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT – Same idea as the King of the Ring tournament type, except using tag teams.
To Top
===========
TITLE MATCH
===========
If you want to wrestle for a title, just go to this option and you can wrestle for any of the titles in the game. There’s a lot of different championships in the game, but by default, these are the main championships that are being held by people in the game when you first start:
WWE World Heavyweight Championship – Brock Lesnar
WWE United States Championship – Sheamus
WWE Intercontinental Championship – Dolph Ziggler
WWE Divas Championship – AJ Lee
WWE Tag Team Championship – The Usos

4. MyCareer
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - -
MyCareer is a mode that is exclusive to the eighth generation versions of WWE 2K15. In it, you begin as a pro wrestling rookie and then work your way to the main WWE roster and hopefully on to WrestleMania and championship gold!
There are some aspects of MyCareer that will vary from player to player, so some of the finer details in this section of the guide may not exactly match up with your MyCareer, but for the most part, it should match up pretty good and help you out with whatever you’re struggling with there. For the most part, this guide will assume that you are winning your matches.
To Top
=========
CHARACTER
=========
You have to either import a character that you’ve already created, or you will be forced to create a wrestler as soon as you start this mode for the first time.
When you’re done creating your wrestler, you are free to jump into the MyCareer for WWE 2K15!
There is also a section called Character. When you’ve completed the early levels in the NXT Performance Center, you can press the Y or Triangle button at the MyCareer menu to get to this section of the game.
From this section of the game, you can go back to the WWE Performance Center to practice and earn extra upgrade points and the like. You can also upgrade your wrestler’s attributes, abilities, skills, hire managers, or purchase training sessions with WWE wrestlers to increase your skills further. By doing these training sessions, you will learn the moves of the wrestlers that you are training with.
There are two currencies in the game. SP is how you upgrade the attributes of your wrestler. VC is how you purchase stuff in the game. SP stands for Superstar Points and VC stands for Virtual Currency.
You can customize aspects of your MyCareer character as well, including their attire and their movelist. And if you so wish, you can also retire this character and start over with a new one.
To Top
======================
NXT PERFORMANCE CENTER
======================
Before you can make it to the main roster of NXT, you have to prove yourself in the NXT Performance Center.
NXT TRYOUT MATCH
—————-
Your NXT tryout match is against a guy named Baron Blade. Yes, you can laugh at that name. Anyway, the match won’t even get a chance to end. Just let it playout until it is interrupted by a cut-scene.
After this match, you will be asked to sign a contract. Sign the contract and then upgrade your wrestler with the upgrade points however you’d like.
TUTORIAL MATCHES
—————-
Bill DeMott will put you through the paces in three different tutorial matches. These matches have bonus objectives designed to teach you the finer aspects of playing WWE 2K15. By completing them, you can unlock bonus SP and VC to spend on your character.
The first match has one objective. You simply have to play the match to completion and win by either pinfall or submission. The second match will have you perfomring two front grapples, performing at least one signature move, and performing at least one finishing move.
Finally, the third match teaches you how to do reversals and also tasks you with adding drama to the match. Drama is added to the match by having close victories and by having the match go back and forth a bit. This will build the star rating at the end of the match, which will get you even more SP and VC to spend.
All of these objectives are just bonuses. You should strive to get each one, but if they are starting to drag on you, just complete the matches as best as possible and continue your career.
To Top
===============
NXT MAIN ROSTER
===============
After completing the tutorial matches, you are free to really begin your career in the WWE. This starts as a main roster member in NXT. You can continue to upgrade and edit your character by pressing Y/Triangle from the main MyCareer screen. You have much more freedom now over your character than you did during the NXT Performance Center phase.
BECOMING #1 CONTENDER
———————
The next challenge for you to overcome is defeating the four opponents William Regal has selected for you. If you do this successfully, you will be placed into a #1 contender’s match. Win that match, and then the next step is fighting for the NXT Championship.
You will have to fight three fake wrestlers that were created for this mode (you have probably faced them before) as well as Bo Dallas. In regards to Bo Dallas, you don’t actually have to defeat him. He’s a very tough opponent, so Regal will allow you to move on to the #1 Contender’s match regardless of if you actually beat Bo Dallas.
Win the #1 contender’s match and the next step is cashing in that opportunity to go after the NXT Championship!
NXT CHAMPIONSHIP
—————-
Adrian Neville is the NXT Champion by default. He is a real pain in the ass until you upgrade both your stamina and momentum. These two aspects of your wrestler are very important in being successful in these matches going forward, especially the one against Neville.
Neville is so annoying because he can build up his Finisher so quickly. You will need to get used to countering his aerial offense. Upon winning the NXT Championship, your time in NXT isn’t done yet.
You then have to defend the NXT title a total of four times. Defending the NXT title successfully four times will get you a promotion to the roster of WWE Superstars.
To Top
==============
WWE SUPERSTARS
==============
Your goal while on the roster of WWE Superstars is to raise the amount of social media followers you have. There are then two possible rewards for raising your amount of social media followers, you will either be given a shot at the United States Championship or you will get promoted to be able to wrestle on Main Event. There are times when you will still have to defend the NXT Championship despite the promotion, however.
GAINING SOCIAL MEDIA FOLLOWERS
——————————
On your quest to gain social media followers, you will be thrust into a variety of matches. Again, this guide is going to assume that you are successful and are progressing at a steady pace, so there may be some differences, such as who is holding what title, and who you face in these matches.
Sometimes you will have to defend the NXT title, other times you will be wrestling main roster talent on Superstars, who will bring a lot more challenge to the table than your typical run of the mill guys that you are fighting in NXT.
Eventually, Vickie Guerrero (apparently the General Manager of…Superstars?) will give you a choice, and this choice will have a pretty big impact on your career.
Title Defense Match – In my game, this was against Sami Zayn. What this means is that you hold onto your title, assuming you defend it successfully, in a match against an NXT wrestler that takes place on Superstars.
Dark Match – You will be stripped of the NXT title if you choose to do a Dark Match. However, the plus side to doing a Dark Match is that you will gain bonus VC, which you can use to purchase new skills for your wrestler. In my game, the dark match was against Big E.
Tune-Up Match – A tune-up match will get you a bonus amount of social media followers if you win. The downside is that you will be stripped of the NXT title. Tyson Kidd was my opponent for this match.
I recommend going with the Tune-Up Match, honestly. The main goal right now is building social media followers, and so you should take the bonus followers by going in the Tune-Up match. This will make you get through MyCareer much faster as opposed to you choosing the other possible routes.
You will continue getting choices between Dark Matches or Tune-Up Matches. Spam the Tune-Up Matches to get to Main Event faster. When you hit 85K followers on social media, then you will be able to reach Main Event.
To Top
==========
MAIN EVENT
==========
The main goals on Main Event are different than the goals that were on Superstars. You need to raise your popularity (more Twitter followers), gain more wins, and also start working as either a face or a heel. To raise the meter as a heel, do things that are illegal in matches behind the ref’s back, and play by the book to work as a face.
YOUR FIRST PAY-PER-VIEW
———————–
After you’ve impressed Triple H and Vickie Guerrero enough, you will be allowed to choose three PPVs that you want to be a part of throughout the year. There is an achievement for wrestling on each one of the Big Four PPVs. The “big four” include Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series.
At this stage, it is likely that you will only be able to select Survivor Series. Pick any other two that you want besides that one, but I highly recommend taking the opportunity to do a big four when you have it.
WILLIAM REGAL
————-
It is around this time in your career that William Regal will ask you for help. Cesaro and Jack Swagger are giving him a hard time. You can accept to take this match or instead focus on your usual mix of Dark Matches, Tune-Up Matches, title matches, etc.
If you want to unlock William Regal as a playable character later on, you will need to accept his offer to help him in the match. Cesaro and Swagger are extremely difficult opponents in the ring, and they will put up a serious fight. I put three Finishers into Cesaro and he was still able to kick out at two.
Since you can’t control Regal directly during this, what you need to do is wear down either Cesaro or Swagger significantly with your created wrestler and keep Regal fresh. After Cesaro or Swagger has their health meter in the red area and some of their body is at least moderately damaged, tag out to Regal. Run around to whoever is on the apron on the opposing team, and then just beat them up and let Regal hopefully finish off the legal man in the ring. Keep an eye on what’s going on in there, because if Regal gets pinned, you will lose the match. You can slide back into the ring and attack them to break up any pin attempts.
Anyway, upon getting 185 thousand social media followers, you will be promoted to the SmackDown brand.
To Top
=========
SMACKDOWN
=========
On SmackDown, you will have the opportunity to wrestle for both the Intercontinental Championship or the World Heavyweight Championship depending on your performance. Your face/heel alignment also becomes more important, as it will determine the stories that you are put into. You need to gain more social media followers to get promoted to Raw.
VERSUS WILLIAM REGAL
——————–
If you chose to team with William Regal earlier, you will then be given a challenge from him. If you choose to accept the challenge, then your feud and story will continue. You will have a match with someone else at the next PPV event, but Regal will come out and congratulate you if you win. Next you will have to team up with Regal some more before your battle with him actually takes place.
At the next PPV you get to, you will get to fight Regal. Defeat him to unlock him as a playable character in the rest of the game.
To Top
===
RAW
===
Raw takes 1 million followers to reach. This is the big time, and you will mainly be working towards a WWE Championship match.
All of the content that you have been exposed to by now will repeat for Raw. There is one thing to keep in mind though, and that is when you win the WWE Championship, your wrestler will be forced to retire. So if you haven’t gotten all the other achievements for MyCareer yet, I recommend avoid winning the WWE Championship until you’ve done so in order to save you a lot of time.

WWE 2K15 brings to the table a new focus on rivalries. Rivalries define the storylines and wrestling feuds that keep fans tuning in to Raw and SmackDown every week. Experience two of the most iconic rivalries in recent wrestling history in 2K Showcase mode!
To Top
===========================
HUSTLE, LOYALTY, DISRESPECT
===========================
One of the more storied feuds in recent WWE history is the long line of battles between CM Punk and John Cena. It began with a pipebomb and included some of the most exciting matches and moments in the entirety of the WWE. Now you can relive the greatness of this epic feud!
———————————————–
WWE Championship Match – Money in the Bank 2011
John Cena (c) vs. CM Punk
———————————————–
o critically damage Cena
o perform a top rope Signature move
o perform the G.T.S.
o perform the G.T.S. & win by pinfall
To see how much damage Cena’s limbs have suffered, grapple him from the front while holding in the right trigger. This is also how you use the limb targeting system in general. Each limb will have a button by it when you do this, and if you press the button, CM Punk will attack whatever limb it is attached to.
I recommend focusing on Cena’s head, as CM Punk’s finishers both rely on doing damage to the head anyway. When you get your signature move, you need to knock Cena on his back and go to the top rope. An easy way to do this is to run at Cena and dropkick him in the face, which is Punk’s standard running strike attack.
Attempting the signature from the top will initiate two QTEs. A button will pop up and you need to press that button quickly in order to go through the QTE successfully.
Resume attacking Cena until one of his limbs is at critical. Then try to hit Cena with the Go To Sleep once you have a Finisher built up. This will result in a cut-scene. When that scene is over, resume the match. Hit the G.T.S. and pin Cena to complete the match.

WWE Championship Match – Raw
Rey Mysterio (c) vs. John Cena
——————————
o damage Mysterio moderately
o perform the 5 Knuckle Shuffle
o perform the Attitude Adjustment
o perfrom the Attitude Adjustment & win by pinfall
Damaging Rey moderately is easy enough. Then you just have to perform John’s 5 Knuckle Shuffle, done by standing near Rey’s head when you have your Signature built up.
After that, just hit an AA. DON’T BEAT REY YET. The next objective kind of makes it seem like you should just be able to pin Rey now, but that is not the case at all. Instead you have to hit ANOTHER AA and pin Rey. At this point you probably have a couple of Finishers built up anyways. Pin Rey after hitting a second AA to complete the match with all rewards unlocked.

Special Guest Referee WWE Championship Match – SummerSlam 2011
CM Punk (c) vs. John Cena (c) – with Triple H as the referee
————————————————————–
o damage Cena moderately
o perform a Suicide Dive
o defeat Punk via pinfall
At the start of this match, you will be in control of CM Punk. Your first goal is to bring Cena to moderate damage. When you get your first Finisher, you will have a new goal of performing a Suicide Dive.
However, not just any old Suicide Dive will do. You have to do one as a Finisher. So grab Cena by tapping the A or X button (depending on platform) and be sure that you’re holding in BOTH triggers when you’re doing this, and that Cena is standing up. Drag him over to the ropes and keep pushing against the ropes until Punk sets Cena up against them.
Now you can hit the Finisher button to perform the Suicide Dive. This will trigger a cut-scene, and immediately after that scene, try to pin Cena. Try to pin Cena again after that attempt and you should get another cut-scene. When that scene concludes, you will be in control of Alberto Del Rio instead of CM Punk.
While in control of Del Rio, just beat up Punk and make sure you beat him by pinning him. His damage will be through the roof at this point anyway, so you don’t really need to use your Finisher, but the Signature move will help. To do Del Rio’s Signature, sprint at Punk and then tap the Finisher button when it pops up on the screen.
REWARDS:
Alberto Del Rio (SummerSlam ’11 Attire)

#1 Contender’s Match – Raw
CM Punk vs. John Cena
————————–
o defeat CM Punk
o perform the Attitude Adjustment
o perform the Attitude Adjustment
Just treat this like a normal match until you get your first Finisher built up. Then go for an Attitude Adjustment on Punk. Afte ra short scene, be sure to kick out.
Then build up a second Finisher. Go for the AA again for another scene, which will conclude the match automatically.
REWARDS:
CM Punk (Raw ’11 Attire)
————————————————
WWE Championship Match – Night of Champions 2011
Alberto Del Rio (c) vs. John Cena
————————————————
o defeat Del Rio with the STF
o perform the 5 Knuckle Shuffle
When you get your first Signature built up, it will give you another objective to hit the 5 Knuckle Shuffle. Beyond that, just keep spamming the STF. When you have your opponent in the STF, mash on the A button to try to get him to submit. Eventually Del Rio will submit to the move and you can move on to the next match.
REWARDS:
Night of Champions ’11 Arena
—————————————————
No Disqualification Match – Night of Champions 2011
Alberto Del Rio (c) vs. John Cena
—————————————————
o damage Punk moderately
o perform the Pedigree
o perform the Pedigree & win by pinfall
Work over Punk on the outside using weapons and the like since it’s a No DQ match and using weapons will build up your Finisher quickly. It will also damage Punk a lot faster than using regular wrestling moves.
Go into the ring once you have your Finisher. Using the Pedigree on the outside of the ring does NOT count for the objective. So anyway, use it in the ring to trigger a rather lengthy scene.
Once that scene has finished, you can then go back to working on Punk and building up a second Pedigree. Use the second Pedigree and then successfully pin Punk to move on.
REWARDS:
Triple H (Night of Champions ’11 Attire)
CM Punk (Night of Champions ’11 Attire)

Triple Threat Hell in a Cell WWE Championship Match – Hell in a Cell 2011
John Cena (c) vs. Alberto Del Rio vs. CM Punk
————————————————————————-
o damage Punk moderately
o perform the Enziguri Signature move on Punk
o defeat Punk via pinfall
While you should focus your big moves on Punk, don’t ignore Cena. After Punk has been damaged enough, you can then perform the Enziguri on him to check that off the list.
A scene will play, and after the scene, Del Rio and Punk will be alone in the ring together. Cena is no longer a factor. Now you just have to beat up Punk enough that you can defeat him via pinfall.
REWARDS:
CM Punk (Hell in a Cell ’11 Attire)
Hell in a Cell ’11 Arena
—————————————————-
WWE Championship Match – Survivor Series 2011
Alberto Del Rio (c) w/ Ricardo Rodriguez vs. CM Punk
—————————————————-
o perform the G.T.S.
There doesn’t appear to be any bonus objectives for this match at first, but it becomes apparent once you get your first Finisher. Now, you must be sure that you are able to build up your Finisher and hit the G.T.S. well before Del Rio can do any significant damage to your arms.
The reason for this is because as soon as you go for your Finisher, it screws you and winds up showing a scene that ends with Del Rio latching on the Cross Armbreaker. You then have to mash the A/X button to get out of the damn thing.
Afterwards, you just have to try to pin Del Rio again. Doing this will result in a scene, and after that scene, you will win back the title for CM Punk.
REWARDS:

CM Punk and John Cena vs. Daniel Bryan and The Big Show
——————————————————-
o damage Show moderately
o tag in Punk
o grapple Big Show
o grapple Bryan in the corner
o perform the Attitude Adjustment & win by pinfall
As John Cena, beat up Daniel Bryan a bit until he naturally tags out to Big Show. You will want to damage Bryan as he comes into play later. When he tags out to Big Show, beat the ever loving hell out of Big Show as much as you can as Cena. You will want to keep Punk fresh.
When Big Show has been damaged enough that he’s at the moderate stage, tag out to CM Punk. As Punk, quickly grapple Big Show before he has a chance to tag out to Bryan. After the scene that plays, throw Bryan into a corner and grapple him while he’s in the corner.
Another scene plays. You will have a Finisher automatically, so quickly use the Attitude Adjustment on Bryan. Pin Bryan as quickly as possible after nailing the move.
REWARDS:
Big Show (August Raw ’12 Attire)
Daniel Bryan (August Raw ’12 Attire)
——————————————————
Triple Threat WWE Championship Match – SummerSlam 2012
CM Punk (c) vs. John Cena vs. The Big Show
——————————————————
o lightly damage Show
o damage Show moderately
o hit Show with a Springboard Clothesline
o hit Show with a corner Signature
o defeat Show via pinfall
This match can be extremely frustrating because of how long it is. If your stamina gets down low, don’t be afraid to retreat to the outside of the ring and let it regenerate, safe from taking damage from Big Show or John Cena.
The first goal is to damage Show as much as possible. When he is passed the moderate point, nail the springboard clothesline. To do this, go to the apron, which you can get on by moving against the ropes and tapping the left bumper. While on the apron, push the strike button to perform the springboard clothesline, which of course results in an animation.
This animation will add even more damage to you, so it is pretty annoying. The next step is to build up a signature and use it on Big Show while Show is in the corner. You have to do Punk’s running knee signature, so you need quite a bit of stamina in order to pull it off safely.
Upon nailing this move, you finally get to just defeat Show. You need to pin Big Show though, and there’s always the risk of Cena and/or Show ending the match prematurely. This is crunch time, where you will be damaged the most and the AI will have the most chance of getting pinned themselves by the other AI as well.
A viable strategy is to simply retreat. If you can get them both to follow you out of the ring, then that puts you in the driver’s seat. Bait them back into the ring and then make your move.
Another strategy is to toss one of the AI opponents out of the ring, and make sure they use their Finishers on each other. Ditch if one of them gets a Finisher or even Signature, and let them use them on one another so that you can save yourself from taking anymore damage.
When you think Big Show is hurt enough to succumb to a pinfall, toss John Cena out of the ring or knock him down. If you want to throw him out of the ring, hold the Irish Whip (B on Xbox, Circle on PlayStation) button in and aim the left stick towards the ropes. This should send him flying out of the ring and leave Big Show lying there for you to sneak away with the pinfall.

WWE Championship Match – Night of Champions 2012
CM Punk (c) w/ Paul Heyman vs. John Cena
————————————————
o critically damage Punk
o perform the Attitude Adjustment
o perform the Attitude Adjustment
o grapple Punk in the corner
After damaging Punk to critical, you will then need to attempt an AA. I recommend focusing on Punk’s head so that you can hopefully get his head to critical after hitting it with the 5 Knuckle Shuffle, setting Punk up perfectly for the AA.
Going for the AA the first time initiates a QTE. Hit the right button when Cena goes for the Suicide Dive to perform the move properly. Now work on building up a second Finisher. Going for this one will result in you taking some significant damage, which sucks, but that’s the way it is.
After the sequence that begins with the second AA, throw Punk into the corner. Grapple him in the corner to see the finish.

o critically damage Punk
o perform Shell Shocked
Work on weakening Punk. Then when he’s at critical, nail him with Shellshocked. Unfortunately, if you’ve already done it before getting Punk to critical, you will have to build up and perform another Finisher.
After hitting Shell Shocked, a scene will play. Now to finish this segment, follow Punk to the top of the cell. Do this by approaching the side and tapping the left bumper. On the top of the cell, perform Shell Shocked. Don’t worry about having to build up a Finisher or anything, as the game will give you one for free to use.

o hit Ryback with a corner Signature
o defeat Cena via pinfall
Work over Cena. Ground grapple him when you’ve got him to moderate damage. When that scene is over, try to get Ryback to come out of the ring and get him close to Cena. I did this and it caused them to just beat the crap out of each other for five minutes straight, allowing me to stand in the ring, build up my Signature with taunts, and letting Ryback and Cena bring each other’s health meters down perilously low.
Eventually though, you’ll want to get Ryback back in the ring. Toss him in a corner and go for the running knee in the corner. A scene will play, and after that scene, you should be able to just go over to Cena, pin him, and put a pin in this match.

WWE Championship Match – Royal Rumble 2013
CM Punk (c) w/ Paul Heyman vs. The Rock
——————————————
o damage Punk moderately
o when Punk is down, perform a charged Finisher
o perform the People’s Elbow
o perform the People’s Elbow & win by pinfall
I personally despise this match, but what can you do. Beat the crap out of Punk for the start, but keep an eye on your stamina. Don’t let it dip beneath the first level so that you can conserve it for later. Trust me, you’re going to need it as the game routinely screws you on multiple occasions.
After Punk has been damaged, you will get a new objective, and when you build your first Finisher, you will have a second objective thrown onto that as well. Doing either of them, whether that is hitting Punk with a charged Finisher or performing the People’s Elbow, is going to screw you over big time and in a very annoying fashion.
I recommend trying for the People’s Elbow first though, as this will end up with CM Punk putting you in the Anaconda Vise, and if you do this one later on in the match, you might not be able to escape the hold without tapping out, which of course means you lose and have to start the process over from the very start.
With that out of the way, build up your charged Finisher, and go for that. Just a reminder, to do a charged Finisher, your opponent needs to be down on the mat and you need be standing near their head. It is possible that you will either accidentally do the People’s Elbow when meaning to do the charged finisher or vice versa, so quickly tap the left bumper to avoid wasting a Finisher.
Anyway, keep your hand ready on the controller for this one. Punk will counter your Rock Bottom attempt with a G.T.S. attempt of his own. You are able to counter the G.T.S. by completing the QTE. A single button will pop up and you have to hit that button to avoid taking the G.T.S. Failure to do the QTE properly means you failed the bonus objective.
You will wind up taking a lot of damage during that cut-scene, so this is where your stored up stamina will come into play. You can use it to escape from Punk if necessary or just give yourself some breathing room for a little bit. Now your final objective is to nail the People’s Elbow and then go for the pinfall, and win.
So build up a Finisher, lay Punk on his back with a spinebuster, and then go for the People’s Elbow. To do the People’s Elbow properly, you need to have Punk as close to the middle of the ring as possible. Keep an eye on whether or not the game is going to do a charged Finisher or a regular Finisher (the one you want), and if you accidentally initiate a charged Finisher, hit the left bumper quickly to cancel it out. Knock Punk back down on his back with a running clothesline or something quick and easy, and then simply try again.
After hitting the People’s Elbow, immediately pin Punk. This should be enough at this point to get you the 1-2-3, and you can rest easy. For now.

o perform the Rock Bottom & win by pinfall
Beat up Punk. Before you critically damage him, a couple of objectives will pop up. The Irish Whip bonus objective will pop up for sure. Performing the Rock Bottom will pop up when you have your first Finisher is built up.
Unlike the previous match, doing these actions won’t actually punish you. Just Irish Whip Punk in the corner and watch that first scene. Then try for the Rock Bottom. When you go for the Rock Bottom, be aware that you will have a QTE to complete, so be ready to tap the button that pops up.
Continue working over whatever body part of Punk (like usual, I recommend attacking the head) you’ve chosen, then when he’s reached critical damage, try to attack him again while he’s just standing in the ring.
After another scene (no QTE this time), you just need to build up another Finisher and nail the Rock Bottom. Pin Punk after hitting the move.

This will cause another cut-scene. When that scene ends, go for an Attitude Adjustment on Punk. This will cause another cut-scene to play. After this scene, you will defeat Punk automatically.

BEST FRIENDS, BITTER ENEMIES
============================
Shawn Michaels and Triple H created DX together, which has gone on to be one of the most famous and treasured wrestling stables in the history of the sport. When Shawn came back from a back injury in 2002, he came back to a Triple H that was very different than his old friend, one willing to throw him through a car window. This laid the seeds for the brutal and bloody rivalry war that the two old friends would wage over the years to come.
——————————————-
Unsanctioned Street Fight – SummerSlam 2002
Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H
——————————————-
o critically damage Triple H
o perform a top rope Signature move
o perform Sweet Chin Music
Since this is a Street Fight, you can use any weapons that you want. I recommend grabbing a chair as you can easily hit HHH in his head with the chair. It’s really easy to damage a part of him to critical using weapons.
Something else to shoot for is when you get your Signature, go to the top and attempt to do it. Unlike other matches in this game in 2K Showcase, this scene won’t leave you with any damage, thankfully.
Keep working on damaging HHH to critical and save any Finishers you get, as you will need it for the final bonus objective. When you’ve got that Finisher and you’re on the final bonus objective, utilize it. To do Sweet Chin Music, by the way, you need HHH on the mat, and then you can just pick a corner and then hit the Finisher button.
Don’t put the controller down just yet, though. There’s a QTE at the end of this sequence that you must complete in order to finish the match and unlock all of the bonus content, which includes gaining Shawn Michaels as a playable character in the game.

o perform the Scissor Kick and pin Triple H
o defeat Triple H via pinfall with Booker T
Immediately tag out to Kane. Use him to weak Jericho until Jericho is at light damage. Y2J should then tag out to Triple H pretty quickly. Let him do so, so that you can start working over Triple H. When you have him at light damage, tag back out to Booker T.
Use Booker T now to continue to wearing down Triple H. When he’s at moderate damage, you will get a new goal. Work up your Signature, then use it on HHH. Then use the Scissor Kick on Triple H. Go for a pinfall as soon as you hit the Scissor Kick.
A cut-scene will play. No QTE during this scene. Afterwards, simply pin HHH again and you should be able to defeat him without too much trouble.

World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber Match – Survivor Series 2002
Triple H (c) vs. Booker T vs. Chris Jericho vs. Kane vs. RVD vs. Shawn Michaels
——————————————————————————-
o perform a Finisher on Triple H outside the ring
o perform a Signature move off a chamber pod & hit Triple H
o hit Triple H with the Sweet Chin Music & win via pinfall
You begin this match as Triple H. While you are Triple H, you should do your best to eliminate as many of the competitors as possible. Shawn Michaels will be the last competitor to enter the match, and at that juncture, you will become HBK.
So before control switches to Shawn, be sure to use up any Signatures or Finishers that you have for HHH, and again, try to eliminate as many of the wrestlers as possible.
When you do become Shawn, work on building up a Finisher. If there are any wrestlers remaining in the match besides HHH, you can just stand on the metal part outside the ring and taunt, letting HHH and whoever else fight each other in the actual ring. Make sure no one pins Triple H during this, though, or else you will fail to complete all of the bonus objectives.
Get Triple H outside the ring once you have a Finisher. At this point, everyone else should be eliminated, otherwise this can be somewhat annoying. Try to do a Finisher to him while outside the ring. This will cause a cut-scene, and when that’s done, you will be badly damaged from being thrown into the glass of the pod.
Knock HHH down and don’t worry about building up a Signature for the next objective. If you climb to the top of the pod, the game will give you a Signature move automatically. Get HHH knocked down flat on his back. Then climb to the top rope. Remember to climb to the top rope you need to sprint into the corner. Have the left stick pointed directly at the corner, pull the left trigger, and sprint straight into the turnbuckles.
This will cause Shawn to climb to the top ropes. Now to climb on top of the pod in WWE 2K15, push the left stick towards the pod and tap the left bumper. Shawn will then climb up to the top of the pod, and a Signature will be granted to you if you don’t have one already.
Hit the Signature from the top of the pod. Now go to a corner and perform the Sweet Chin Music. Pin Triple H after that and he should be damaged enough at that point to definitely be put away with the pinfall victory.

Work over HHH, and when you get your Finisher, save it. When he’s at moderate damage, you need to whip HHH into the ropes. This will initiate a scene that in turn results in a QTE. Perform the QTE properly to complete the bonus objective.
Afterwards, simply use the Five-Star Frog Splash on Shawn. This will end the match with a cut-scene.

You can use up your Finishers and Signatures as you don’t need them for any other bonus objectives, and of course they will really help to bring RVD to the proper damage level.
Toss RVD into a corner now. Complete the QTE. After the cut-scene, head to the outside of the ring and grab a chair. Hit RVD in the head with the chair and then make the pinfall.

o defeat Triple H via pinfall
o critically damage Michaels
o retrieve the championship
For the first fall, just beat up HBK until you get your Finisher. Don’t worry about damaging Shawn, because when control switches to you in the second fall, you will have full health, just low stamina. Nail the Pedigree and then get the pinfall.
With control of Shawn, hit Sweet Chin Music on Triple H. There will be a scene. When that scene is over, beat Triple H to the point that you can defeat him by pinfall.
Control switches back to Triple H in the third fall, and it’s now a ladder match. Beat Shawn up until he has critical damage. This shouldn’t take long considering this is a Ladder Match and Shawn has already been taking damage throughout the last two falls anyway.
Start climbing the ladder. A scene will play. When that scene is over, climb the ladder again and pull the title down. To pull the title down, push the right stick up towards the championship, then pull the stick back down to pull the title away successfully.

If you tag out, it is very likely that the AI will tag out to someone else. If you tag to HHH, then they will probably tag Kevin Nash. Sometimes you will need to wait a couple of seconds and then tag to make them tag out to get Nash back in the ring.

One of my favorite aspects of the creation tools in WWE 2K15 are the new moves that have been added to the game. Seemingly inspired by some of the recent indie signings WWE has made, players can pick and choose the various moves that their wrestlers are able to utilize. New moves such as the top rope brainbuster and the package piledriver have both been added into the game.
