Hey and Welcome back to the Revelleution and a brand new WWE 2K24 piece. Before we dive in I just want to say a huge thank you to 2K UK for sponsoring us today and providing us with the assets to create today’s breakdown.
In a Celebration of 40 years of WrestleMania, WWE and 2K have unveiled a brand new trailer for WWE 2K24’s Showcase of the Immortals Showcase, featuring superstars both past and present in historic WrestleMania moments. As well as the trailer 2K also unveiled the official match list for the Showcase featuring a handful of female superstars and matches, so let’s discuss who made the cut and what you can expect.
Every wrestling fan and WWE Superstar dreams of one day stepping foot inside a wrestling ring with the ultimate dream to compete on the grandest stage of them all…WrestleMania.
For some, dreams turn to reality, making WWE History at the showcase of the immortals and becoming an overnight sensation. In it’s 40 years, many Female superstars have had the great honor of competing at WrestleMania, with some even being lucky enough to Main event the prestigious event. Thanks to WWE 2K24, fans and players alike can relive iconic WrestleMania moments with the Showcase of the Immortals showcase, recreating moments all the way back to the early days of WrestleMania.
WrestleMania is the perfect opportunity for WWE and their superstars to pull out all the stops and create memories and images that last a lifetime with their iconic attires and grand arenas. From the bright lights of New Orleans at WrestleMania 30 to the star studded HollyWood runway of WrestleMania 39, each arena is stunningly recreated sparking memories of matches past and the legends who faced off. Now thanks to the WWE 2K engine, fans can re-experience some of the finest WWE collections in history as part of WWE 2K24.
Before we Dive into discussing the women’s matches within the showcase I do just want to mention just how incredible the WrestleMania arenas look in this year’s game. I honestly don’t think the arenas have ever looked as incredible as this before, looking bigger grander and packed to the brim with the WWE Universe. The WrestleMania 39 arena especially with the glass ceiling looks amazing, especially when the Superstars make their entrances, I mean if you are going to celebrate WrestleMania this is the way to do it. The evolution of the arenas from the early days of WrestleMania to current day is awe inspiring and I can’t wait to get a better look at the many WrestleMania arenas featured in this years showcase.
Within the Showcase there are three women’s matches featured, with Asuka, Becky Lynch, Bianca Belair, Charlotte Flair, Rhea Ripley and Ronda Rousey all included in this year’s Showcase as part of their matches.
In a first for the WWE 2K Series Jessicka Carr and AJA Smith also feature in this year’s Showcase, as the very first WWE Female officials to ever appear in a WWE Video Game. Last year saw the WWE officials also make history at WrestleMania 39, appearing in both women’s title matches in an all women’s WWE presentation along with the competitors and ring announcer, talk about ground-breaking! Women in WWE make history both in and out of the ring, so it’s great to see WWE female referee’s celebrated in this year’s game along with the WWE Superstars.
Switching focus back to the in-ring competitors as we go over the Women’s matches featured in this years showcase, first we have WrestleMania 35, a Premium Live Event generations in the making, featuring three of the biggest names in WWE Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey.
WrestleMania 35 saw the women make history and finally main event WrestleMania for the very first time with Becky, Ronda and Charlotte colliding to determine who would hold both the RAW and SmackDown women’s Championships, in a winner takes all match. In the lead up to the event with so much pressure and eyes around the world on them, tensions led to an all time boiling point with not even the authorities being able to hold them down.
The triple threat match up is once again the focus of a 2K showcase after being originally featured as part of the WWE 2K20 Women’s Evolution Showcase. The 2K20 recreation of the match rounded out the women’s evolution centric showcase, with WWE 2K24 taking a new approach to the match thanks to 2K’s new slingshot technology. The slingshot technology allows 2K to perfectly recreate some of the most nail biting moments from the match which led to the Man Becky Lynch becoming Becky 2 Belts.
Following on from WrestleMania 35, which is no easy feat, Next up we have the WrestleMania 39 match up between Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women’s Championship.
After an almighty Rise as lets face it the true leader of The Judgement Day, Rhea Ripley cemented her place in WrestleMania 39 after winning the 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble. Nothing tastes better than revenge and with a Rumble win under her belt, Ripley set her sights on her former rival and the SmackDown Women’s Championship in what was about to be a Hollywood blockbuster all of her own.
At WrestleMania 36 Ripley failed to overthrow the Queen of WWE Charlotte Flair, sadly losing her NXT Women’s Championship as well as the momentum which had been at an all time high for Rhea up until that point. 3 years later Charlotte wasn’t about to enter WrestleMania with the same Rhea she once stood across, Rhea was hungrier than ever, complete with a new look and attitude to boot.
The recreation of their match at WrestleMania 39 provides another alternate model of Charlotte Flair, with Flair sporting a stunning rendition of her silver and black WrestleMania 39 attire. Rhea on the other hand takes things to the dark side with a venemous black and purple attire along with some seriously sickening facepaint as she attempts to get into the head of Charlotte Flair.
The match encapsulates the fire and intensity between Charlotte Flair and Rhea Ripley thanks to the 2K Slingshot technology, in a WrestleMania rematch which saw Rhea Ripley finally dethrone the Queen of WWE for the SmackDown Women’s Championship. The trailer also provides another look at a new title celebration for Rhea Ripley as she celebrates her win over Charlotte Flair. Not only does Rhea have a new title celebration in this year’s game but she also comes with a new Avalanche riptide which is showcased within the trailer to show off one of the many brand new SuperFinishers as part of this year’s game.
Last and by certainly no means least we have another WrestleMania 39 match, as the E.S.T of WWE, Bianca Belair defends her RAW Women’s Championship against the Empress of Tomorrow Asuka.
Both Asuka and Bianca Belair are two of the greatest to ever step foot in a WWE ring, both making WrestleMania history prior to their match up at last year’s event, so it was only a matter of time before the pair faced off at the showcase of the immortals.
Undefeated streaks are few and far between especially when it comes to the Women of WWE but for Bianca Belair and Asuka, that was just another week in WWE. Before losing her Undefeated streak to Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania, Asuka maintained an awe inspiring 914 day streak with Bianca Belair starting an undefeated streak of her very own. Going into WrestleMania 39 Bianca already had two victories at the showcase of the immortals, with WrestleMania 39 adding another tally to the chart.
Whilst the empress of tomorrow dove head first into her quirky kabuki vibes, Belair channelled the Hollywood walk of fame stars, in a fitting tribute to WrestleMania Hollywood. I’ve already said a million times over just how great Bianca Belair looks in this years game but just look at how incredible Asuka looks. Leading up to the WrestleMania match up Asuka resorted to mind games and mist tricks against Bianca with Bianca finally getting the last laugh on Asuka, hitting a KOD for that 1 2 3. With an undefeated streak of 3 to none, the question going into this year’s WrestleMania is who’s Bianca going to beat down next.
At the start of the video we mentioned just how incredible the arena’s look in this year’s game and I just want to double down once again as we see Bianca celebrate her win within the WrestleMania Hollywood arena. The celebration gives off a better look at Bianca’s attire as she celebrates under the glass ceiling. Now if that isn’t poetic I don’t know what is!
All three of the women’s matches highlighted in the WWE 2K24 Showcase of the Immortals showcase will undoubtedly be remembered but also live on forever thanks to their stunning reacreations in WWE 2K24. With over 20 matches to choose from it’s clear that the top three matches we recommend playing first in this year’s showcase are all three of the Women’s matches. To reiterate once again those matches are:
- Charlotte Flair Vs Ronda Rousey Vs Becky Lynch from WrestleMania 35
- Charlotte Flair Vs Rhea Ripley from WrestleMania 39
- Asuka Vs Bianca Belair from WrestleMania 39.
I have to say I really can’t wait to see how the WrestleMania Triple Threat match from WrestleMania 35 compares to it’s last iteration, especially with some added cutscenes on top of the 2K slingshot technology. I also really can’t wait to play the WrestleMania 39 Match up betwen Asuka and Bianca Belair after recently rewatching the women’s matches and moments from WrestleMania 39 at the start of the year. At the Royal Rumble capture event last month I had the awesome privledge to play the Charlotte and Rhea match from WrestleMania 39 thanks to 2K and WWE Games and I had such a cool time. Especially reliving some of the high intensity moments so I can only imagine how the other two matches compare.
There is a handful of Women’s WrestleMania matches to choose from in WWE 2K24. The only real question is which of the three matches do you play first? We certainly can’t wait to play the Showcase of the Immortals Showcase when WWE 2K24 hits shelves next month so let us know in the comments below which match you are most looking forward to and which of the women’s models you think looks best.
