Reed's WWE 2k19 Universe Mode: The Re-Write Continued

Reed's WWE 2k19 Universe: 2k18 The Re-Write Recap

Hello everyone! Reed here bringing you another year of WWE 2k Universe Mode! So instead of starting over like I do every year I decided that since I liked what I had going with 2k18 I'm going to continue with where I left off there but with this year's game. I know it's going to be tough with certain characters missing and everything but I will do my best to work with what I'm given. Plus the community will help fill missing spots with CAW's and all that so I'm super excited to get this year going! Just a heads up though it'll be a few weeks before I really get this thing going once the game comes out because I want to play the MyCareer this year so if you don't see anything here for awhile that's why. This also allows time for the community to do their thing as far as creation goes. So I hope you all are just as excited as I am for this year, I'm really looking forward to continuing this for you all! If you all want to see the current rosters I'm more than happy to show you those in another post as well just let me know! Let's jump into the recap now where I'll be covering each month's Pay Per View's results just to keep things simple.

The Women's Intercontinental Championship was decided in a Fatal-4-Way Ladder match between Alicia Fox, Carmella, Mickie James and Summer Rae who won qualifying matches to get there. Carmella climbed the ladder and became the first Women's Intercontinental Champion.

May

The Realest Guys take back their Raw Tag Team Championship after losing them in April.

Owens won his match to pick the stipulation for his United States Championship match against Sami Zayn. Owens chose Hell in a Cell and if Sami losses he leaves Raw. That's exactly what happened as KO beat Zayn and sent him packing.

In the main event it's Braun Strowman beating Shinsuke Nakamura to retain the Universal Championship!

Figured I'd give you guys a look at the rosters for each of my brands. With characters being missing due to reasons obviously I'll have to do some re working of things but these are the rosters as of 2k18 so that's what you're seeing here. Also if any of you have any ideas as far as balancing out the rosters go feel free to let me know!

[Reed1417]

Yeah I had to make some choices and since 2k had issues getting a few of the guys and gals or some are no longer with the company IRL, I wanted to get it as up to date as possible. Other than this though the rosters I posted are the same.

Are you making a conscious choice to not use Kane in Universe Mode this year?

I am yeah. I had him in the Universe last year but never really had anything for him to do. Since this is a continuation of last year's Universe I made the choice to let him go as a result.
