Yes, you may have noticed that WWE 2K18 is LIVE for XTW!!! That means the roster below has been updated with ALL of the names in 2K18. Also, it's been a couple of years but match modifiers are back! It bugs me how 2K is talking about it as a "new feature"... well, maybe for them but it's a feature that WAS there and then they went "bare bones" after they took over from THQ. So now if you're envisioning a 4-way elimination first blood match, we can do it! :-)
In finding title belts to download and use for XTW I thought about changing a few and part of that was inspired by certain belts I found, namely whomever made some cool Lucha Underground belts! I'm not calling them Lucha Underground champs but just Lucha since that translates to "fight". So the Singles belts will be World, Lucha, Internet... Tag belts will be World & Lucha... and Women belts will be World & Lucha. As always, red straps for singles belts, dark blue for tag, light blue for the Women's secondary (Lucha), and purple for the Women's primary (World).
WWE 2K18 does add 8-character matches! There are only a few options for those (tag, battle royal, ladder) and also you may see up to 8 people in the ring during Royal Rumbles. Having 8 characters will help XTW because, for example, if there are 4 tag teams on a single Rung, there could be not only the individual options but also the tag option where it'd be 2 teams vs 2 teams. Also, in the Women's Hopefuls Pool, if a match type is chosen that allows for 8 people and we have at least 8 names submitted, it'll be an 8-person Hopefuls Pool. I'll post for you to submit for a 6-person Hopefuls Pool match but if it happens it can be an 8-person, then I'll do that. :-)
Another new thing in the game's Universe Mode is the Power Rankings! I'm not sure if the game updates them per calendar week but I think I'll go with posting the Top 20 after each PPV event. I think it's a fairly cool addition and maybe might inspire you to submit certain names for the different shows' Hopefuls Pools. Here are the Power Rankings to open the new Universe Mode...
1. Braun Strowman... Goal: Open Challenge (I'll take on anyone)
2. Brock Lesnar
3. Asuka... Goal: Win the Women's Title (Go after the Smackdown Women's Championship)
4. AJ Styles
5. Seth Rollins
6. Dean Ambrose
7. Sasha Banks
8. The Miz
9. Jey Uso
10. Jimmy Uso
11. Natalya... Goal: Defend the Women's Title (I'll do whatever it takes to keep the Smackdown Women's Championship)
12. Jinder Mahal
13. Finn Balor
14. Shinsuka Nakamura
15. John Cena... Goal: Win the World Title (Go after the WWE Championship)
16. Neville... Goal: Top of the Rankings (Defeat Braun Strowman and become an icon in this industry)
17. Randy Orton... Goal: Win the World Title (Go after the WWE Championship)
18. Samoa Joe... Goal: Top of the Rankings (Defeat Braun Strowman and become an icon in this industry)
19. Kevin Owens... Goal: Open Challenge (I'll take on anyone)
20. Alexa Bliss
Finally, while it's something none of us controls if what I saw in Part 2 is any indication, it seems like cutscenes in the Universe Mode for created matches is back! That's another thing 2K seemed to take away when they took over from THQ. Sure cutscenes happened in Rivalry Matches but never when you created matches unlike how it worked when THQ was making the games. Well, a couple of matches had something happen at the end of the match which gives me hope that things like run-ins by rivals and stuff may happen during Rankings matches again!
We have Contender Tournament updates!!!
#3 Stephanie McMahon won her Contenders Pool match while #11 Nikki Bella lost in that same match allowing McMahon to advance.
#12 Bayley won her Rung 1 match while #8 Lita lost her Lucha Title match allowing Bayley to advance.
With those results, the updated bracket is as follows...
SEMI-FINALS...
FINAL...
Alright, I think all the updating business is out of the way so let's get to the booking! From the match types, settings, and roster below submit the following to help shape the next event...
World Title: 1-Natalya (c) vs 3-Lita... Submit a match type/settings and who, if anyone, should accompany the competitor(s) to the ring.
Lucha Title: 2-Paige (c) vs 4-Alundra Blayze vs 5-Bayley... Choose the option you want and submit what is needed for that option...
Rung 2: 6-Charlotte vs 7-Trish Stratus vs 8-Alicia Fox... Choose the option you want and submit what is needed for that option...
Rung 3: 9-Stephanie McMahon vs 10-Jacqueline vs 11-Carmella... Choose the option you want and submit what is needed for that option...
Contenders Pool: 12-Asuka vs 13-Ember Moon vs 14-Brie Bella vs 15-Ivory vs 16-Maryse vs 17-Sasha Banks... Submit a 6-person match type/settings. NOTE: If you choose a tag or elimination tag scenario the teams will be Asuka/Bella/Maryse vs Moon/Ivory/Banks.
Hopefuls Pool: 18-Nikki Bella vs ???... Submit a 6-person match type/settings and also, from the roster below and NOT INCLUDING anyone seen in the updated Rankings above, submit your Top 5 picks to be entered into the next Hopefuls Pool.
