Although he stated that he wouldn't rule out another future return, I don't think it'll happen. His return was based solely around making up for WrestleMania 20, and that story came full circle. It definitely could happen, but who knows?

I believe a 2K representative on the official forums confirmed that there would not be a Showcase of any kind, including DLC. And just to add to the discussion on this game, US Amazon aren't selling any physical copies of the game? What? I'm just glad that UK Amazon are (at least, they don't have any indication of it being a digital product in the product listing). The claim about US Amazon not doing so had me making sure that it wasn't the same case for UK Amazon. People seem to have conflated that there's no showcase DLC with a quote saying there'd be no showcase on disc. It was reported by a random Portuguese site misquoting the part where they said there'd be no showcase on the disc. I'm not saying there will be one, but it hasn't been confirmed that there won't be yet. Possibly. I for one would be pleased if they have DLC showcase for the 2017 HOF class, if only because that brings the teeniest-tiniest slightest possibility of Layla's return to the series. And that's before even mentioning the possibilities for Kurt Angle and Rick Rude.

It's a spoiler to anyone that hasn't watched it. A bit of consideration for users in different timezones would have been appreciated. This thread was posted within hours of the final, which would have happened around 4AM my time. It shouldn't be an expectation that EVERYONE would have watched it live. It would have been so easy for the OP to have had the thread title as "Mae Young Classic winner will compete for the NXT Women's title at Takeover", rather than putting the winner IN THE TITLE. I don't mind thread posts themselves having spoilers, but I certainly don't expect spoilers in thread titles within such a short amount of time after the event. Especially when you consider you don't even have to enter the WWE board to see the latest post's thread title. It doesn't matter where you live it was still live. Therefore it's not longer a spoiler since it had AIRED ALREADY. I'm certain you've misunderstood the whole point. I am not saying it's a spoiler as though "it belongs in the spoiler board". I'm saying it unnecessarily spoiled my experience watching, already knowing the result, thanks to lack of consideration that went into this thread. The thread title contained information previously unknown to me, therefore it was a spoiler to me. And it didn't need to be that way, when you consider the short amount of time between the final and this thread's creation. It's a spoiler to anyone that hasn't watched it.

Especially when you consider you don't even have to enter the WWE board to see the latest post's thread title. Where in the title does it say Kairi won the tournament ? Watch it live like everyone else or avoid the internet especially wrestling sites dude. It was previously announced that the winner would challenge for the NXT Women's title, IIRC. I normally do avoid the internet when it comes to PPVs, but for something like this, I did not expect to have to avoid the entire WWE board. I certainly avoided the Mae Young Classic thread, because I expected spoilers in that thread. I did not expect a thread title to spoil it. Like I said, it would have been so easy to have not spoiled it, had the OP been more considerate.

Did you really need to post this as a separate topic, so soon after the Mae Young Classic final? Could you not have put this in the Mae Young Classic thread? Spoiled the Mae Young Classic final for me. I didn't expect to see spoilers in an individual thread title. Once a live show happens it's not a spoiler anymore..... It's a spoiler to anyone that hasn't watched it. A bit of consideration for users in different timezones would have been appreciated.

I think it's more likely that they're in the HOF Showcase. I believe a 2K representative on the official forums confirmed that there would not be a Showcase of any kind, including DLC. And just to add to the discussion on this game, US Amazon aren't selling any physical copies of the game? What?

I don't know what WWE has planned, but the Jinder Mahal experiment has been a failure, and needs to end. If Shinsuke Nakamura is the one to do it, then so be it. I'd have preferably built Nakamura up with a good midcard title run before a World title though.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I was checking the Digital Deluxe Edition preorder on the PS Store. The Digital Deluxe Edition does include Batista and RVD, right? Cause I didn't see it included in the description of the preorder. Yes, I'm certain the Digital Deluxe Edition does include Batista, RVD, and John Cena attires.

RAW VS SmackDown Live is definitely the way to go. Brand warfare is perfect for Survivor Series.

I wonder why they left Mr McMahon and Papa Shango out of the roster reveal, when there was no particular reason to. Still, I'm happy with both making it after all.

Is that a $50 Barbie or something? We can't even get a cloth shirt or painted zippers on plastic accessories on most of our Elites but the Mae Young barbie is loaded with cloth goods and multiple painted accessories. Lol go figure. Unless I've misunderstood, I'm fairly certain this isn't a product that is going to be made for sale. This is literally the only one in existence.

Is it just me, or does the face look MUCH better than the one at SDCC? Such a shame that it's yet another American exclusive. Hoping that it finds it's way to a UK store sometime this year.

The changes they've said they made sound absolutely great, and is the serious overhaul the mode needed. My Career has been absolutely crapevery single year since it's inclusion. I won't hold my breath, but this could be the first game in which My Career mode is worth playing. I'll wait until I actually see it in action though.
A big problem I had with My Career mode previously was that you couldn't just decide you wanted to form a tag team with someone. That was just stupid. Being able to free roam and form friendships with people through conversation, rather than interfering in their matches, would be a big plus for me.
The promo engine sounds as though it's naturally evolving the way it should. WWE 2K17's promo engine was an acceptable foundation, because it was to be expected that it would be expanded on in future iterations. From the sounds of it, it seems as though they've done the right thing with it this year. One of the things I really disliked about it last year was exactly what the developers stated in that article: that the game forced you to pick what it wanted in order to score points. I usually found myself having to cut promos the complete opposite way than I intended just so I didn't lose. And having separate animations for individual superstars is great. I only hope they've made suitable lines for them as well. Cutting a promo as the Undertaker in 2K17 did not work for his character at all.

My Career mode would have to have had a MASSIVE, and I mean truly MASSIVE overhaul to be worth playing in 2K18. The mode has been absolutely crapevery single year since it's inclusion. The changes sound good, but I can't put any faith into this mode until I see the improvements. Hopefully today's preview will be long and detailed.

Just watched the MYC final, and it's so disappointing that the crowd was completely dead throughout. It just doesn't correlate with how popular the Mae Young Classic has been with fans. Where is this 6-women tag match that everyone is talking about? The "MYC: Road to the Finals" on the WWE Network. Starts with a tournament recap and then finishes with a 6 woman tag match.

I don't want to get anybody's hopes up, but there's a rumour that Jazzy Gabert has been signed to WWE.
If you haven't yet watched the "MYC: Road to the Finals" on the WWE Network, then I absolutely recommend checking it out, because my god, the crowd are totally behind her, and it's just absolutely awesome. After the reaction she got, they'd be absolutely fools not to sign her.

What's with all the title matches this week? Is this supposed to be a special SmackDown Live? My preferred champions would be New Day and Natalya. If Naomi is put back on top, then hope is gone for the SmackDown Live Women's divison again.
As for the Mae Young Classic Final, I am really dreading the outcome. It's so blatantly obvious that WWE will have MMA's Shayna Bazler win the WRESTLING tournament, not because she deserves it, but purely to kick start a WWE/MMA Four Horsewoman feud that nobody wants to see. I'd be overjoyed for WWE to actually make the right call and have Kairi Sane win it. You know, an actual PRO WRESTLER with a significant history. Not a rookie who only started 2 years ago. I think Shayna Bazler's inclusion was a joke to begin with. Now that they're going to have her win it, just for the short-term publicity, rather than to take women's wrestling forward, that just sickens me.
