2016 AJ Styles was on a whole different level 🔥

[@hezekiah6730]

Definitely

[@babayaga1988]

yeah that soccer mom hair 🤣

[@ajp5616]

Because he came to WWE late so they wanted to force him a push

aside from the hair

[@aimanishak4364]

I'm so happy they have their old video entrances for some wrestlers like Batista, Edge '06, Brock Lesnar '14

[@ferdinand9555]

Soccer mom AJ was an absolute beast, I remember keeping up with 2016-2017 smackdown just because of AJ, because he is so damn good.

[@SalvadorSalcido]

Curious choice that they gave us post-Judgment Day 2002 Kurt Angle yet didn’t give him the wig he wore with the headgear.

[@MikeOTR]

He didn't wear it that specific night when Cena debuted. Edit: I was wrong, however he took it off shortly after the segment started and never wore it again

[@bwareist]

Eh I'm more salty that they gave us his worst singlets.

[@MikeOTR]

@@bwareist you can find his ECW 06 one in game. Give to him. Wrestling Machine Angle is badass

Damn Lesnar really ate that pyro huh

[@HikarusukeShindou]

Guess going to have to fix some entrances with the advanced entrance mode...

[@ghost713lakewood6]

I wish they put the 3d holograms for the wrestlers that use them like the bloodline & drew & sheamus

[@the-NightStar]

They're fine

[@1GREG7]

Why the hell didn’t 2K give Kurt an actual tron and his wig?

[@dayoungsta94]

Or his actual entrance from that time this is just his 2006 entrance motion from 2k18 2K are lazy af

[@AceKeezy15]

So I’m guessing we will never get a different head scan for Batista

[@sushanthsuresh2590]

Sad but true. Randy 2009 looks so realistic. Every year the batista model is disappointing.

[@Ytb_sossa]

🤣🤣🤣 what you mean

[@TheICEDoutking]

@@Ytb_sossa he’s talking about how the head scans for Batista don’t look accurate to him they look different and he’s right we won’t ever get new ones because Batista doesn’t want to sell his rights to his face scan to wwe

[@aqwantifish4189]

I'm pretty sure 2008 Batista had a buzz cut, not fully bald like he is here.

[@maineventmafia1633]

Also didn’t have those heel graphics in ‘08. Didn’t start using them till ‘09

[@aqwantifish4189]

@@maineventmafia1633 2k just pure lazy, if we're going to have 09 Batista from last year. Atleast give us an intent to play a different model but there's nothing different besides the tattoos.

[@beasttitan5824]

The messed up brock’s chest tattoo 😂

[@RealSK2.0.]

Wrestlemania 34 Arena is in the game! I loved this stage design! It personified the spirit of New Orleans perfectly!

[@dayoungsta94]

I’m glad that people in the comments are calling 2K out for their laziness, if we’re expected to pay upwards $50 for this game (and over $100 for the complete game) the least they could do is make the game accurate

[@the-NightStar]

It's not "lazy", it's just not a priority, or necessary. What they did is good enough.

[@keronwilliams4409]

I think they're doing a more better job with the entrances from years ago than what we have right now

[@the-NightStar]

Nope

[@somebawldy3789]

From years ago ?? Well yeah obviously 🤷‍♂️

i was hoping for hurricane. still, great video

Can't wait till 11pm tonight 👍👍

2014 Brock Lesnar looks amazing. I hope we can remove the band aid in the forehead of 2003 Brock Lesnar in the Edit Superstar menu.

[@Triple-Four]

You can add pyro yourself now.

[@dreeew2x]

That Edge model looks amazing

[@Clemente-rr7uh]

was expecting them to update batista model. his face looks bad

[@dayoungsta94]

What’s the deal with Lesnar’s pyro? It’s completely wrong and I haven’t seen anyone else comment on it yet

[@sabotagebluemania8149]

That’s because they recycled his current entrance

[@dayoungsta94]

@@sabotagebluemania8149 yeah I know that (I’m actually annoyed by that too 😂) but if you look at his pyro in 2K22 (unless I’m wrong because I haven’t played it in a while) his pyro looks nothing like what they’re showing here

[@akgstone]

I can't wait to do edits..

[@lebronakon2324]

Do we know if time of day changes during a universe show with an outdoor stadium?

[@JAZZ-ot4td]

Finally they added the undertakers lighting on the LED board in his entrance😭😭

[@nathanhall9552]

They forgot to add Kurt’s Hair Piece , that’s why he was wearing that helmet to basically hold his wig down

Ok. This must have been covered but I cannot find it. Is it possible to create the Proper DX Entrance?? With Triple H and Shawn Michaels??

[@Kashif314]

I am only getting this game for Kurt Angel but can anyone please confirm if we can make his entrance without the headgear he is wearing? Possible to have him bald in entrance? I didn't see any KZbin video of his entrance without the headgear! One user mentioned on reddit post that if he use the Kurt Angle caw then he can not do the removing straps taunt before the ankle lock. Please let me know if we can remove his headgear and do we have an official alt attire with everything the same but no headgear?

[@AthanHristodulu]

I know it's a nit pick, but why do the lights in Undertaker's entrance flick on rather than slowly turn on? It was in last year's game too, they have to fix that.

[@depo_ynx]

Ah OG SS I miss him

[@mayank4156]

I ask this under almost every 2K23 video but noone answers: "CAN WE STACK TABLES AGAIN?"

How can they still not figure out where the main videos go on the Smackdown Stage trons? 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@hahalollol2424]

I really love they added you suck chant but they should have made kurt react to it a little and raise his hands with smile

[@sheeeeesh3628]

Edge looking like he just woke up with that hair and that face. Why TF are they using 2009 Batista titantron? Also, he doesn't wear a nose ring in his matches except his last match, for a obvious reason. Also, his face! And why is he getting booed? This version of Batista is a babyface and was getting more adult male cheers than Cena was in that match. Roman's hair looking like they drop a huge wig on top of his head as usual.

[@bibooyoussry]

The music entrance!?

[@dariushunter9640]

When I play this old entrance from 2k22, ima have the wwe title around his waist so the ring announcer can say undisputed wwe universal champion 🔥 Even though he can say it when roman have both titles

[@ILoveMyBeard001]

video title says RVD, o RVD in the video

[@matthewferris1]

Don't see how Aj and Roman are on the legends list??

[@JesusWillSaveYou]

Maybe it's me but am I the only one who feels like some of the entrances have a bit of jank to them? Don't know if it's the refresh rate they are using to present them but something is off about their movements in terms of smoothness compared to previous games. I also noticed the same thing with the move animations in previous games and even the new animations. The only thing I can think of is it mIght be the same they did in previous 2K games where they sped up older animations that were made for 30 FPS to match the newer 60 FPS animations. The problem is that it just makes them look off in terms of smoothness as they just looked like they were fast forwarded instead. This happens in Lita's Entrance which I'm glad the community called them out on. Sadly the more I see of the game, the more I realize it's being treated more like a sports game and not a wrestling game. Looking more and more like WWE 2K22.5.

[@rajd1781]

I do understand about copyright thing, but man without their entrance music it doesn't seem appealing to me.
