Five Possible DLC Rivalries for WWE 2K15

07:47 PM - August 27, 2014 by DustinT

With the announcement of WWE 2K15's rivalry campaigns, developers 2K and Yukes are signalling that the historical single-player content of the last two years will continue. The first of these will be HHH vs. Shawn Michaels, and the other will be John Cena vs. CM Punk. In what 2K is calling the “2K Showcase” mode, these rivalries will weave in videos, highlights, interviews, pictures and text into the selected matches, and the matches themselves will feature all sorts of high spots and cinematic situations, as was done in the Attitude Era and Wrestlemania modes previously.

While these two rivalries will provide a decent arc to play through come October, it's fun to think about what other rivalries might be included as post-launch DLC. There will likely be new wrestlers added to the roster as DLC, but you'd have to believe that only characters on the launch roster will be considered for actual rivalries. Since there is also likely a good deal of effort required to stitch together all of the archival content and context for these modes, it's probable that we'll only see two or three “feuds” available for purchase.

Which rivalries make the most sense?

Sting vs Ric Flair if Flair is in there would be great, HHH/Mankind, Undertaker/HBK, and HHH/Undertaker would all be fantastic fits for the DLC rivalries

Undertaker/Mankind is a great idea in theory, but Foley opted out of renewing his legends deal with WWE, citing among other things lack of payoff from the video games, so I don't think he's a realistic inclusion anytime soon.

Jericho and Michaels would be great as well as Hart/Michaels

That's a good point. I had wondered about the contract status of some wrestlers when writing the piece.

I agree with others that Sting/Flair and so some other WCW rivalries would be cool, but I don't think we'll see those for the simple reason that the commentary of these games is totally WWE-centric, and they'd have to get the WCW guys in to do commentary and audio drops, which I don't see happening.

I just don't think you can include Hollywood Hulk Hogan without having some type of Sting/Hogan, Sting/NWO feud.

Also, I don't think you can include Surfer Sting without having some type of Ric Flair Rivalry from the 80s/90s. Obviously just having Sting period is great, I think you have to use him in some light in this new mode.

That never even crossed my mind and it's a good point, however with technology today and us obviously playing through the rivalry, I think taking actual commentary from that time could work.

I did an article like this a few weeks ago, I'd personally was hoping it would've been WCW vs WWF. I actually did something like this a few weeks ago going into a little more detail of that and other possible feuds. http://www.micoolfish.com/possibilities-for-wwe-2k15s-new-2k-showcase-mode/

I like all of these.

# 8 burter @ 08/28/14 12:38 AM

Don't forget The Rock and HHH. Remember they had huge fueds going on with The Nation of Domination vs DX. Not to mention all the other fueds for intercontinental belt and of course the WWF belt.

# 9 49UNCFan @ 08/28/14 01:06 AM

ultimate warrior vs hulk hogan
Undertaker vs Razor R
Undertaker vs King Kamala

# 10 Mercilus @ 08/28/14 01:14 AM

If only this one can transpire: Taker/Angle. It was beautiful ring work between the both of them. Brock/Angle was also a good especially their WM match. Batista/HHH it wasn't much but that's one. Eddie/Rey but I guess that was more personal. Vince/Austin that was just fun lol. Stables DX/NOD without this there would be no Rock/HHH. Macho/Hulk it's always there. Lita/Trish only diva rivalry worth mentioning since they don't go too far back. Edge/Cena had pretty good ones. Foley/HHH & also being able to be his personas. That's all I can mention.

# 11 Sheba2011 @ 08/28/14 01:52 AM

Undertaker vs Yokozuna - including the epic casket match

Hogan vs Macho Man - these two had more of an impact on wrestling's growth than anyone else.

Ric Flair vs Sting - two of the greatest WcW stars of all time.

Tazz vs Sabu - second greatest rivalry in ECW history, second only to:

Raven vs Tommy Dreamer - some of the best matches in ECW history.

Ric Flair vs Ricky Steamboat.

Hogan vs Rowdy Piper - a feud that lasted through multiple decades in multiple promotions.

# 12 giantsharks @ 08/28/14 03:12 AM

marty jannetty vs hbk

hbk vs bret hart

hhh vs the rock

cena vs lesnar

stone cold vs bret hart

I know stone cold vs the rock is a great rivalry but im a little sick of it.

maybe daniel bryan vs the authority

# 13 Orochi_Kenshin @ 08/28/14 04:05 AM

Rock vs Austin
Hogan vs Savage
HBK vs Hart
Rock vs HHH
Steamboat vs Flair
Sting vs Flair.
Sting vs Hogan/nWo

# 14 JazzMan @ 08/28/14 11:03 AM

Kane/Undertaker. The large span of years that we've seen battles between the two would stretch across 3 different eras.

Plus, there's the factor of having that big fight feel when you finally go one on one with each other, since really, they never faced off against each other all that much. And we could also have a Brothers of Destruction story line and fall out, leading to WMXX where the Deadman came back.

Think that could be special with Next-Gen graphics.

# 15 LBzrule @ 08/28/14 12:09 PM

My top two would be Sting vs Flair and Rock vs Stone Cold Steve Austin OR Vinny Mac vs Stone Cold.

# 16 Beastly Wayz @ 08/28/14 12:41 PM

Give me Sting vs Big Van Vader, Rick Rude vs Ricky the dragon Steamboat, show us some old school rivalries

I'm extremely biased in wanting a Kane/Undertaker Rivalry in the game with Kane being my favorite superstar of all-time. IMO, the debut of Kane was one of the greatest debuts of all-time. They are two of the greatest big men of all-time and have been through a wide variety of matches that would make the Rivalry very fun to play.

These are more to my taste, although the Mr Perfect/Von Erich rivalry lasted for about a cup of coffee. Flair vs Sting and Warrior vs Rude or Macho Man would be tits. I could even go for Flair/Steamboat.

# 19 WTF @ 08/28/14 05:56 PM

Sting and Rude had a pretty good rivalry for quite a while in the early 90's. Could have the epic Halloween Havoc match that Sting wrestled on 1 leg. Have you start the match with 50% energy, and gimpy leg.

You mean you forgot that the WWE and 2k can't legally put 4 of the 6 superstars in the game.
