WWE 2K24 Universe Mode – Chapter 3: BACKLASH

Finally it’s time for our first PPV of the series! As I’ve said, the irl was a classic show, lets see if my version can go close to that one…!

BACKLASH (Sunday May Week 4 – San Juan, Puerto Rico)

We started the show with an absolute BANGER!!!

6 man Ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship

As expected, it was carnage! But in the end, the BIG man climbed highest and grabbed the IC Title!

Next up is a tag match that I always wished we could see one day, but now sadly will not. My booking of Bray will feature a few like this, I hope I did it justice.

Cody Rhodes & Randy Orton vs Bray Wyatt & Uncle Howdy

Quite the back and forth war, but in the end the chaos continues. REVEL IN WHAT YOU ARE!

Next we have a WrestleMania 39 rematch, as the lady who gave to the name of this very blog-site challenges one of our inaugural champions of the series…

Asuka vs Bianca Belair (C) for the WWE Women’s Championship

A huge win for someone who I think over the course of my Universe Mode’s down the years, is probably one of the most winning-est superstars. AND STILL!

Next up is a match we have seen recently in real life (and will do soon again as I write this in fact)… but here, the stakes are even higher!

Jey Uso vs Gunther (C) for the World Heavyweight Championship

After what I thought was a pretty great match, the reign of the RING GENERAL continues!!!

Next we crown our first Women’s World Champion of the series!!!

Gigi Dolin vs Tiffany Stratton vs Rhea Ripley in a Steel Cage match for the Women’s World Championship

I had quite a lot of fun playing this one. I can’t remember the last triple threat cage match I saw to be honest, and I think it made sense the way it played out, with the scheming Stratton walking out the cage to be crowned the NEW Women’s World Champion!

Next isn’t quite the main event, but many (me included) would argue it (in real life) was the REAL main event of this PLE!

Damian Priest vs Bad Bunny in a No Holds Barred match

A spectacular match, won by quite a spectacular star!

And the only reason I couldn’t have that match go on last, was our final business to attend to in this show… the small matter of crowning our new WWE Champion!
