I know at this point, you just want to see WrestleMania, and to be honest I do too. I am also well aware that WWE 2K24 is out soon, and I want to have time to not only get my Universe Mode on that set up and be the most fun possible, but also… I have a blog planned about a certain story and finishing it… So this blog will be a little different. Instead of the inch by inch details of each show, I will just be writing a quick report on what I’d have go down on all the Raws and SmackDowns that will lead us to WrestleMania, and at the end I will list my full WrestleMania card.

And that’s that. I figured at this point, none of us need the in-detail reporting, we really just want to get to WRESTLEMANIA! I am hoping to play that some point early next week, and then the blog out by latest next weekend. After that I need some time to get to grips with WWE 2K24, and setting up the Universe Mode for that (yes, I’ll be doing a blog series for that too), and also I will be releasing a special blog before WrestleMania 40… it’s about a certain story, and finishing it… so stay tuned for that… and before that stay tuned for my WWE 2K23 Universe Mode… WRESTLEMANIA!…

Oh… and as a sneak peek for my WWE 2K24 Universe Mode, at my WWE 2K23 Universe Mode WrestleMania… as you may be able to guess from reading what Bray said on my go-home SmackDown…

He’s BACK!

Josh.
