    Showcase Mode to Follow Four Horsewomen, Mixed Match Challenge & More
    Details Announced for WWE 2K20

    Posted: 05 Aug 2019 07:40 AM PDT https://www.prowrestling.com/showcase-mode-to-follow-four-horsewomen-mixed-match-challenge-more-details-announced-for-wwe-2k20/


    2K Games has released a new video featuring WWE Superstar and Smackdown Tag Team Champion Xavier Woods running down a list of new features coming to
    the brand new WWE 2K20 video game later this year. Heres what you can
    expect:

    SHOWCASE MODE: The annual 2K Showcase mode returns this year, with a brand new story based on the Four Horsewomen Bayley, Becky Lynch, Charlotte
    Flair and Sasha Banks and their role in the Womens Revolution. Youll start
    in NXT and play through key moments of their careers while unlocking
    playable characters and other content.

    MYPLAYER MODE: While not much is known about the create-a-wrestler story
    mode this time around, 2K has confirmed that by popular demand, players
    will be able to create both male and female wrestlers for this years
    MyPlayer mode.

    MIXED MATCH CHALLENGE: Youll be able to create tag team matches mixing
    both male and female Superstars together in the ring, although we suspect
    that much like in real life WWE, the men will have to battle the men, and
    women will have to battle the women.

    2K TOWERS and UNIVERSE MODE will also return.

    2K ORIGINALS: Again, not much is known about this other than 2K will be releasing brand new content after the game has launched that will take your favorite WWE Superstars and your imaginations to new universes. It looks
    like this is how theyll be rebranding DLC going forward.

    Amazing Red & More Added to 2019 NJPW Super J-Cup Tournament

    Posted: 04 Aug 2019 10:00 AM PDT https://www.prowrestling.com/amazing-red-more-added-to-2019-njpw-super-j-cup-tournament/


    New Japan Pro-Wrestling has announced three more names for the upcoming
    2019 Super J-Cup Tournament taking place in Washington and California later this month.

    You can officially add YOH of Roppongi 3K, who will join his previously announced tag team partner SHO in the three-day tournament, as well as the masked sensation BUSHI of the Los Ingobernables de Japon faction.

    Both names were expected, but the really big news coming out of Tokyo today
    is that junior heavyweight veteran Amazing Red, one of the true innovators
    and modern underrated greats of high-flying wrestling, will be making his
    NJPW debut as a part of the Super J-Cup.

    Heres the updated list of competitors:

    Amazing Red
    BUSHI
    Caristico
    Dragon Lee
    Ryusuke Taguchi
    SHO
    Taiji Ishimori
    TJP
    YOH


    While not officially announced as one of the competitors, its assumed that Jushin Thunder Liger will compete as he is producing the tour for New
    Japan, and its largely taking place in the U.S. because he is returning at
    the end of the year at Wrestle Kingdom.
