WWE 2K23 Showcase unlockables list

The WWE 2K23 Showcase mode this year is all about John Cena. You get to play as some of his greatest opponents, serving as a potted history of Cena’s mammoth WWE career. You can complete the mode by simply winning every match, but in order to get all of the unlockable rewards, you’ll need to complete every objective, playing the matches out as they happened in real life.

What’s more, the Accelerator Pack that comes with the Deluxe Editions doesn’t unlock any of these rewards, so if you want wrestlers like Kurt Angle or Rob Van Dam, you’ll need to play Showcase mode.

We’ll take you through every Showcase match in order, and go through every unlockable. If you want to know what else is hidden in the game, check out our list of every WWE 2K23 MyRise unlockable.
