It's my favourite time of the year, the start of a brand new series of Did You Know! 😀 The first few episodes may have a few things that crossover with previous videos, as in hindsight I probably should have started the series earlier, but i've tried to mix in new and extra details rather than just repeat something i've covered in a previous video. I hope you enjoy it!

[@Kiara.step-daughter]

wwe 2k twenty FOUR!! 9:27

[@theandronikus5061]

The Fiend has a unique taunt where he does the Brodie Lee tribute that he did at WrestleMania 37

[@Aaron.T_82816]

Opponents "bump and feed" for you, as you hit various moves, which is a new feature.

[@TheGrahamSherman]

Do the la knight audio when he talks and the Jey uso entrance

[@mathewdewsbury9456]

Did you know that theres special rivals commentary with Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio?

[@msked-ktfgamiing1153]

They add the guitar when Elias isn't with WWE anymore 😭 Edit: to all these oldheads that are coming in here saying I don't know my history and whatever I only mentioned this because this is the game that takes place RIGHT after elias' release and they now decided to add the guitar, I wasn't aware that Honky tonk man was DLC when I made the comment. Not to mention I had no reason to mention either HTM or Double J since they haven't been in the games for ages

[@angelelijah4164]

I forgot he's in 23

Honkey tonk man?

[@YYesImCrazYY]

Hell no@@atrmediaofficial

[@TAGibby]

With the introduction of the microphone, and even giving you special taunts and mic feedback, I'm surprised that they didn't put in an I Quit match. I mean why not, right?

[@_______________2001]

Next year. They added in Ambulance, Casket and Special Guest Ref

[@jebdeb218]

​@@_______________2001And gauntlet matches.

[@TAGibby]

@@_______________2001 Yeah I know, that's cool and all, but why go to all the trouble of putting in a mic with such specific details if there's no game mode dedicated to it? Hope it does show up next year.

[@BrndnNZT48]

Cause they'll never have voice over in an I quit match. It would take forever to get everyone in to record those two words

[@TAGibby]

​@@BrndnNZT48 They've had I Quit matches before. They don't have to record any voices for it.

[@TheCamSays]

Bit of a DYK, the 1997 Halloween Havoc arena now has Slim Jim logos after only having the WCW workaround logos from 2K22 and 23.

[@KylesWorldChamp91]

I had a feeling that would happen

[@DasNordlicht91]

in a nice touch, it's the 90s era Slim Jim logo used in that arena like in real life.

[@theamazingcj2748]

Not just that, but it's the old Slim Jim logo, just like the original arena. Nice little attention to detail thing.

[@Beavie]

Someone is going to make a 'Timeless' Toni Storm CAW and then someone is going to have to "Watch for the Shoe."

[@CWE4Life]

Did you know, unlocking Seth Rollins ‘15, Shawn Michaels ‘94, and both John Cena ‘20 (SNME) and Bray Wyatt ‘20 (SNME), the game will assign them to their respective teams (Shawn teams with Diesel to form Dudes With Attitude, which includes a new tag team entrance with a ladder at the top of the stage. Bray and John form a never seen before team, calling themselves the ‘weapons of mass destruction’, which includes unique commentary. And Rollins joins HHH and Stephanie as the Authority, which even though they enter separately when playing as them, there is The Authority ‘King Of Kings’ theme, and GFX in the game, which is already equipped when enabling the default tag team entrance of ‘painful literature 1’)

[@irishotoku5441]

Did you know bray has a luke harper taunt that when used an audio clip of him say "yeah yeah yeah" can be heard

[@pu1391]

0:32 Now, I can finally make my grandma throw chancla at my grandpa in 2k😂

[@AutoRockinRacing94]

Based on the UUDD live stream, Shawn Michaels' WrestleMania 25 entrance doesn't work in certain venues, primarily stadiums where you get the legendary entrance. Anywhere else, it's the basic entrance of HBK but the extended theme is still attached.

[@fiend2society]

It works in WM36 too

[@AutoRockinRacing94]

@@fiend2society and after seeing 101's upload, the house show arena works. I guess it boils down to the stage setup

[@ShowOffProductions56]

As a WWE figure fan I love that they have Cena in there for us!

[@NbntJayso]

Game gonna be 🗑️

[@NbntJayso]

Game gone be trash

[@dr.loomis4221]

@@NbntJayso It's pretty fun so far

[@dr.loomis4221]

I wish one of the DLC packs was dedicated to to wrestlers in action figure form. Better than having Pat McAfee and his co hosts as DLC.

[@VincentEllis-John8-12]

Fun for sure, but loaded with glitches and somehow the CAW graphics are worse than last year.

[@Vygrax]

did you know that you can go backstage in the few No-DQ matches in the Showcase mode? I've only tried during the Steve Austin vs Bret Hart match at WM 13 and Steve Austin Vs Kevin Owens at WM 38. I found a few neat things backstage during the KO match. You can find Austin's ATV that he rode down to the ring before the match, and if you venture further down you can find an oddly placed announce table and some steel steps outside of the trash heap kind of ring thing. i also found that you cant interact with the ATV, announce table or the steps, as i tried to remove the cover from the announce table and the prompt simply would not appear. also, upon returning to the normal ring, the ATV will be parked in the entranceway. i am not sure if this is a glitch that only i encountered, or if others have as well, but i thought it was worth mentioning here i have some footage that i will be uploading soon, if you would like to use it, please feel free to do so, as long as you credit me. thanks - Vygrax

[@John-Stark]

8:14 Damn, that's going to be useful if I can set it for replacing the WWE Belt with one of the classics

[@premsparrow8218]

Finally Did you know series back!!! Waiting for more videos ❤

[@kadharefinley224]

I love the alternative 2K Showcase ending, there always super fun 🔥

[@billie.the.umbreon]

Did you know,after you break the announce table,your able to pick up and attack your opponent with the water bottles that fall from them? It even has animation for the taunt where the toss then catch it. Also different sounds when hitting someone with it,throwing or dropping it.

[@Kskillz2]

It’s the return of the DYK series

[@Deedric_Kee]

The freeze paybacks are so good but also hilarious 😂 . I love the facial expressions 'taunts and being able knock the hell out of your opponent with them. Awesome video "SmackTalks. Two bangers in one day. 🎉

[@simpleclean2468]

Was waiting all day yesterday for this

[@Domepeezy]

That HBK alternate ending is sick. That is definitely something he would do.

[@GenGamesUniverse]

They should have done a easter egg akin to the "TOASTY!!!" sound effect from Dan Forden but it's Randy Savage saying "Ooh yeahhh! Snap into a slim jim!" XD

[@StickyNickiINC.]

Another thing I thought you might like to include in your next did you know video, with Cody’s theme now being in the jukebox you can now finally edit Cody’s entrance and victory without getting the popup saying the song is exclusive and can’t be edited. The song officially stays there. I tagged you on my video of it on X

[@alifffarhan1290]

this is what im waiting for! thank you!!!

[@MadisonSky1]

Did you know Piper Niven and Chelsea Green have a tag team championship entrance, but not a regular one?

[@kenmcclary672]

Definitely putting notifications on

[@Mostafa88T]

did you know that Kevin Owens has a unique winning animation if he defeats Stone Cold at WrestleMania via showcase

[@Lemont5236]

Saw it. Very good

[@ReadytoDiveIn]

You were on it today bud!

[@David-nq8cv]

Thats generous of 2k to make figure John Cena available for everyone in this game when it was my faction only for 2k23 by those who actually bought the figure irl

[@nepaliprayasgurung2594]

That's nothing new you can play as certain wrestlers in "action figure's" since 2K19 their just milking cena for every dime they can get!

[@David-nq8cv]

@nepaliprayasgurung2594 strange how I didn't see any in 2k19, also didn't say it's new but that they could've easily made John Cena figure exclusive to 2k23 but decided also for this year

[@nepaliprayasgurung2594]

@@David-nq8cv I thought WWE 2k19 had action figure mode. But sadly I was wrong they did this last year. With Cena too, all I know is 2K is milking Cena for money. And John Cena is letting them do it I mean he gets paid by movie industry and video game so he's probably enjoying earning all that money!

[@simonscf9330]

@@nepaliprayasgurung2594 There wasn't an action figure for any superstar in 2k19.

Great Content Smack Talks Always Loving The Channel And Learning More About The Game Cause I Haven't Played It Yet Keep It Up One Love From New Zealand ❤️❤️😁 #smacktalks

[@TheKinglilbit]

Action figure John Cena and Cody best team ever call them Toy Story ! lol

[@VersacesBizarreWorld]

Why not naming them *The Elite*?

[@MaiKing69]

a small detail i noticed in the video. the microphone weapon is a completely different microphone then the ones they use now. The weapon uses the old scratch logo microphone the one used from the Attitude Era all the way up to the PG era. but newer modern microphones appears in the game for promos and R Truth's entrance.

[@haydenmarshall2010]

DYK is BACK Bay-Bay! I cannot wait for Friday!

[@ZYXVQK0]

The fact that bray Wyatts freeze animation is named "you should run" is priceless to me 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 (We love you with all our hearts bray ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️)

Are you doing community Creations vids this year?

[@theprowrestlingguy6851]

Excellent!

[@thef5558]

Really enjoying the game, more than 2k23. Played around with the gauntlet match, few others. Played showcase up to The Rock v Austin, having so much fun lol.. had to give my ps5 a break. Looking forward to the content for 2k24. Love these types of videos you do 👍🏻

[@domenicolongobardi9300]

This new grafic for the cover video 10/10🔥

[@mccheeze775]

Did you know there’s special special guest ref commentary for Shawn Michaels? I used the current day one and got some special commentary during the entrance referring to montreal

[@noahsteadmansings2241]

2:11 I hate myself for laughing at this 😂

[@TheJStale]

That's awesome. I can't wait to get the game tomorrow!

[@Narbus1]

okay, 2:04 in, i am loving the physics on the hair this year. small thing but yeah. I can't wait until midnight!

[@Magwalfc2011]

HBK double title entrance works if you use like Kenny Omega or Samoa Joe with a custom AEW World Title & WWE or Roman with the AEW belt

[@Lemont5236]

😂😂😂

[@strongersmarterandbetter]

I'd rather have the AEW belt it looks a lot nicer. Seth's belt is a beauty too.

[@a1kfidiskfjeoqofkwo717]

Nice. What's the music used in the background?

[@Billy2-pg3zj]

Love this channel ❤ Can you run a campaign to get wwe games before wwe2k22 back on xbox store . We cant redownload older wwe games we spent a fortune on if they arent on the store😢

[@bobbennett063]

Did you know that the newest hall of famer, Paul Heyman is in the game? Just a shameless plug for Paul, who COMPLETELY deserves the induction!!

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Action figure Cena vs Action figure Cody.😂

[@Deedric_Kee]

I can't wait to use the "Cena and Cody action figures.👏

[@CWE4Life]

Did you know, you can now edit the hight of wall, and mini trons in Create An Arena. And, there is a new ‘ringside layout’ option which allows you to edit the barricade to be more square if you are making an arena without an announcer’s table/s

[@titantheog8680]

Can’t wait for the game to drop!

[@djdelisle7423]

Kevin owens also had an alternate victory if he beats stone cold

[@1991Crazyace]

I've noticed a small detail when playing the wrestlemania x showcase, I don't know if it is the same outside of showcase. But if Diesel pulls out a chair, it's a different colour the normal chair.

[@joeman22]

Could you please find out how to get the persona shield seth and the 2022 trick Willams im looking everywhere. You can find they in the wwe oddities tab

[@rayleeharris]

It’s interesting that the microphone has the ruthless aggression style logo. Possible reused asset from a previous game?

[@kovulion7777]

You can see the devs are having fun making all the new content!

[@brianm161]

Is there a way to make it possible to use the managers/standard referees as special guest referees in universe mode? Tried to use Teddy Long in universe mode as a referee and it wouldn't allow me to do it

[@HappyGangy]

Deadass wouldnt mind more action figure characters

[@skeletonmandiecastcollector]

I could see folks creating grandma wrestlers to use the chancla as a weapon hahaha 😂

[@xEmoGirlxAlexisx]

Since they bring back Action Figure Cena i also hope for Big Poppa Pumb Scott Steiner and Lilly the Doll finally being playable :D

[@Scott-clips92]

My guess is I quit match included next year

[@akramirez]

It's good to be back

[@joetalkswrestling]

Is custom side plate still in the game? All the footage I’ve seen of the championships don’t have custom plates

[@rimok.2765]

I can't do the 4 person bloodline entrance for some reason. Maybe it's universe mode. Also cant put titles on the line with gauntlet matches in universe mode for some reason. Hope that gets fixed.

[@bluejay22]

If they came out with a wwe game that had a roster of only elite action figures, I’d buy it. I can see it now, someone gets put in an armlock and their arm pops off. It would probably be just as fun as a regular wwe 2k game but with an added element of humor.

[@_MrMoney]

9:02 bro really called Roman "the World Heavy Champion"💀

[@Scottsgamerlounge]

I’m happy they added weapons and didn’t take anything away. I’d like to see even more options in the future

[@toypikachutheoctoling6029]

Did You Know 2 actually: Theres Special Commentary if you Cody vs Dusty, and in the Halloween Havoc Arena that was added back in 2k22 now features the Slim Jim Logo as opposed to the Generic WCW Logo

[@MetalMe55iah]

Wow I'm early

[@coryholmer8422]

I love the additions of the new weapons but I really hope 2K has finally made the championship belt at ringside and able to pick it up and use it without having to do a Break Out and drop it on the floor during entrance.

[@RAINPlaysGamesOfficial]

Did you know that Rey Mysterio can do his second rope rebound bounce when he is being Irish whipped to the ropes?

[@Tomdabom1052]

I noticed, and please correct me if I'm wrong with this, but I noticed that in a chamber match. If you whip an opponent into the pod it leaves their body condensation on the glass

[@Red_dead_Redemption_4_Life]

Lets go 🔥🔥

[@marchedtiger1422]

Did you know that Triple H's "King of King's" theme song is in the game, it's on create an entrance under The Authority with matching Authority trons

[@thecellardoor54543]

Sucks they took away some taunts from being able to be selected for taunts and theyre now exclusive to freeze but it is a cool feature.... Wonder how Harleys taunt that had a move works now though? unless thats still in taunt i havent checked but i know its under freeze.

[@ILoveMusicLoud]

The action figures are actually really sick, hopefully they do more like Triple H, Undertaker, Kane etc

[@Alex17352p]

Little DYK. I figured out that the corner Glasgow send-off (Glasgow send-off 1) which is joe coffey's signature has 2 different types, one if the opponent is near the corner and if it connects they hit the corner while if they are in the middle or nowhere near it it does a regular Glasgow send-off

[@malikevans2615]

8:43 how's that cool? It'll seem outta place in regular matches

[@carlossilis4833]

It's cool, because we can use custom championships from community creations like AEW, TNA, NJPW, and assign the motion so we can have moments where we can put both titles from either promotions on the line, and show the CAW from one of the promotions disrespecting the other promotions championship.

[@rocavelli20]

I like the action figure models, they look pretty cool

[@thekingofcool1641]

Im ngl wwe 2k24 is a great jump in terms of features. If they drop last gen, i believe they could make a new GOAT WWE game
