A new trailer for WWE 2K24 offers a nostalgic showcase of wrestling legends who will clash in the game’s story mode. The trailer reveals several iconic WrestleMania matches that players can relive, featuring top stars of the 80s, 90s, and 2000s.
Headlining the showcase is Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant from WrestleMania III, the historic 1987 match between the beloved fan favorite and the seemingly unstoppable Giant. Fans can also recreate Macho Man Randy Savage vs Ricky Steamboat from that same event, considered one of the greatest technical wrestling matches ever.
Other classic WrestleMania highlighted include Ultimate Warrior vs Rick Rude from WrestleMania V in 1989 and Bret Hart vs Rowdy Roddy Piper from 1992’s WrestleMania VIII. Showcase also features the pioneering ladder match between Shawn Michaels and Razor Ramon at WrestleMania X in 1994, which revolutionized the concept of ladder matches in WWE.
The late 90s and 2000s are represented by Steve Austin vs The Rock at WrestleMania X7 and Eddie Guerrero vs Kurt Angle at WrestleMania XX in 2004. Including the legendary Guerrero is a landmark, as the lucha libre icon has been largely absent from WWE games since his tragic passing in 2005.
Modern fans can play the unique Firefly Fun House match between John Cena and “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt from 2020’s WrestleMania 36. This surreal cinematic bout spotlights one of Wyatt’s most creative personas.
