Here's the first episode in the new Did You Know? series for WWE 2K23! If you have any suggestions for the series let me know and I'll pick some for future videos! 🙂
Did you know that John Cena has a Bray Wyatt reference in his commentary? If you select Cena and have him make his entrance at WrestleMania, commentary will talk about some of the people Cena has faced at WM, including Bray Wyatt.
Both of the ones I found were during showcase mode. During one of the videos of Randy Orton holding the WHC, Christian's nameplate is blurred out. During some of the cutscenes during Roman vs Cena, a shirt for the Fargo based indie promotion "Below Zero Wrestling" can be seen in the crowd. The logo is unblurred. I mention this because to my knowledge, this is the first time a non-WWE affiliated company has directly appeared in a WWE game. Also any reference to OVW is blurred out or simply called "WWE Developmental" due to the company no longer being affiliated with WWE>
Did you know when you break a rear grapple as Carmelo Hayes sometimes he’ll do a standing switch to an O’Connor roll that results in a special sit down superkick?
The security weren't present in one of the early build of the game. So it is a nice touch and it makes sense for John Cena to quickly get the hell out of the ring victorious before a so-called "riot" breaks out.
In MyRise mode when fighting at the mocap arena, there’s some great commentary to be heard, my favorite being: “I haven’t seen moves this bad since 2K20.” 😂
Wwe2k23 has lots of new and additional features in the game so far, and it's amazing how far this game has come into development, 2k has really improved so much and put their hard work, time, and dedication into something so small and turned out to be really huge.
Where are these "lots of new and additional features". I knew it was gonna be a copy of 2k22 and sure enough... I'm playing 2k22 again. But now with wargames.
When you do the mocap missions in MyRise, the person capturing the footage will reference WWE 2K20 and how bad it was, and they mention NBA and how much easier it would've been to capture the animations for that game as opposed to a WWE game.
The Car animations also have different moves. By pressing heavy instead of light. On the side of the Car you'll be smashing your opponent through the window.
For anyone wondering why you can’t run and hit the Cody Cutter, you have to go to his moveset and just equip the move again and it will let you run and hit it
The 2k23 pokes fun at Vince McMahon and his weird hatred for sneezing! When playing the lock my rise while arriving to raw on week 2 you’ll be greeted by a fictional superstar that gives you rules to go by, one of which is “never sneeze around the big boss”
Did you know when you play as chad gable if you hold down R2 on playstation or Rt on Xbox and taunt using left or right on the dpad he will do his signature " shooooos" taunt along with his " Thank you " taunt
If two members of a tag team start off the Royal Rumble, they will both taunt and celebrate until #3 comes out. I saw it happen with Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin for reference.
So I’ve just played a backstage brawl and there’s a bit more you can do. You can slam your opponents head against the car doors/hood & you can smash your opponent’s head through the car window by using the shoulder carry.
Did you know that in universe mode if you for example, get attacked before a match, the commentators will remark about that both after that specific cut scene, and after the match.
I only tested it once but immediately came here after. I had a match with Triple H and Seth Rollins and during the match I went outside the ring and on the bottom right corner near the barricade was a water bottle on the floor. I believe it’s Triple H’s from his entrance. Pretty cool little detail.
The same trick that lets you equip jackets and capes for in-ring gear on your 2nd attire slot works again this year. Handy for people who want to make superhero-themed caws with their capes, or just caws that wear attire that's normally limited to entrance-only.
Remember when you could do so much more? Smackdow here comes the pain, would let you interact with EVERYTHING and go anywhere. Plus weapons were more fun in earlier games, before 2k.
Did you know you can now put larger stages in the newest large stadium in Create an Arena? Last year you weren't able to put (example) Mania XIX stage in the newest stadium for the mode but this year you now can
I think I may have already found an Easter egg or at least a cool coincidence. In the wrestlemania 22 arena, the posters for shawn michaels and Eddie guerrero are next to each other, possibly referencing the rumor that they were planned to face off at that event had eddie not passed away at the end of 05. Beyond that, I saw people uploading 06 edge with alternate gear that's in the game that isn't used (his 04 style gear) which led me to finding 1999 dx triple h tights as well!
@Razza D not to my knowledge. I think the triple h tights are from his myfaction model last year with them finally giving you the parts to use in the creation suite. As for edge, idk what they're from but those tights with the faces on the legs like he had in 04/early 05 if I'm not mistaken weren't there before.
they need to fix the Jukebox in this game Cody rhodes theme isn’t available and same for judgement days theme. I hope they add a Judgement day motion for Dominik like how they did for ‘19 for UE
@@apearce4415 same with the RK-BRO theme which also isn't in the jukebox but can be selected when you change the team from separate to enter together. Luckily i don't have a issue with Cody's in game attire personally
The one time I didn't do the tutorial was the one time it unlocked something. No wonder Xavier woods gave me that smug smile, he knew what I was missing out on
I want to add to the Xavier Woods and Cena match. When it starts, you can change the controller assignment and play as Cena, and you can beat Xavier. I still got the PC arena too
I'm always thinking,what are they thinking anyway. The Smackdown Shut your Mouth game backstage has my favorite backstage areas ever. People been saying this over 10 years. They should know to make a ton of interactive stuff to do and places to go.😊 . Anyways good video "SmackTalks 👍🏼
I really like that they are rewarding you for finishing basic task now and hopefully they do that with My faction this year. It keeps the replay value fresh
I just hate that we can not change Cody‘s entrance or win motions without his theme song being took out. What‘s the point of having multiple motions for him then?
Did you know: Rey Mysterio Jrs alternate Starrcade 1996 attire has the face paint from the main attire from Halloween Havoc when loaded into gameplay. However, if you create an alternate attire for Rey Jr using the Starrcade attire and save it, that created alternate will not have the face paint when you load it into gameplay.
So here are some did you know facts I have. 1 If you play war games in the NXT arena & have Johnny Gargano start of for you during his entrance commentary will mention how war games was his last match in NXT & he's looking with a victory in the match 2 Did you know there are several new commentary lines for when certain wrrestlers fight each other. Some of these lines can only be heard after the match is others can be heard during the match & after. New Rivalry commentary I found includeds Austin Theory vs Johnny Gargano. Sami Zayn vs Jey Uso. Happy Corbin vs Madcap Moss. Seth Rollins vs Cody Rhodes. Tyler Bate vs Bron Breakker. Some of this new commentary will only trigger in the post match while some will trigger during the match & after
in the Legacy MyRISE if you do one of the side quests where you help do mocap for 2K then you can hear the person in charge reference 2K20 and Wrestlemania 36 in the P.C along with NBA2K.
I’m not sure if it was a thing before. But now if you get rolled up and pinned in an exhibition match. You can attack the person after the match when they walk away
Yes that what was at the event Raw smackdown and ECW tables should be 3 announce tables at once there's also a flaw at hell in a cell 2009 there should be a Raw table not 2 smackdown tables
Played on ps4 Bug 1 - When i used undertaker for ps4, the tombstone finisher on settings and display, upon playing the tombstone is a dragonsleeper as a finisher. Bug 2- select x and circle /cancel controls in reverse on display
Did you know there are two new tag team championship victory motions. One for Imperium and one that seems like it’s for Toxic Attraction as they were the only women’s tag team given the motion.
You can also press X near the back of the truck or car to break the window when dragging someone and I cracked the, second if you carry someone when they’re over your shoulder and press, delete attack button a.k.a. square near the window you’ll send them through it
I noticed the Cody Cutter says "Standing Springboard." Are we not able to assign it as a running springboard signature? I think it'd look a lot cleaner that way
i don't know if someone already commented this but did you know that in bron breakkers entrance there can be a reference to scott steiner his infamous math promo on tna
Something cool, and I THINK new when playing MyGM. If you click on someone on your roster, where it asks if you want to end their contract, it shows their win-loss record.
Did you know there's a reference to Sami Zayn's past character in MyRise? In the MyRise Lock mode, you'll see yourself in a match with a wrestler named, El Ordinario. This is in reference to Samy Zayn's past persona before WWE called El Generico. Ordinario has a similar attire look as well.
Did you know in the showcase match with Undertaker 03, Undertaker is wearing a bandana at the start of the match, but after one of the live scenes, his bandana comes off? So the remainder of the match he won't have a bandana on
Here's the first episode in the new Did You Know? series for WWE 2K23!
If you have any suggestions for the series let me know and I'll pick some for future videos! 🙂
Did you know that John Cena has a Bray Wyatt reference in his commentary? If you select Cena and have him make his entrance at WrestleMania, commentary will talk about some of the people Cena has faced at WM, including Bray Wyatt.
Yeah playable but not as a practice mode
Maybe it's new commentary when we play Elias vs Ezequiel or maybe like a team.
Both of the ones I found were during showcase mode.
During one of the videos of Randy Orton holding the WHC, Christian's nameplate is blurred out. During some of the cutscenes during Roman vs Cena, a shirt for the Fargo based indie promotion "Below Zero Wrestling" can be seen in the crowd. The logo is unblurred.

Did you know when you break a rear grapple as Carmelo Hayes sometimes he’ll do a standing switch to an O’Connor roll that results in a special sit down superkick?
I love how they added security for the alternate ending they should had them throwing trash and chairs in the ring
The security weren't present in one of the early build of the game. So it is a nice touch and it makes sense for John Cena to quickly get the hell out of the ring victorious before a so-called "riot" breaks out.
Same. But I do love the implication that the fans have actually started rioting.
The new Cody cutter 2 alternative version of the maneuver looks awesome. I'm glad 2k updated that animation.
818 homie
He actually did it in a match before so that’s cool 👍🏼👍🏼🔥🔥
true
Since Cody has a special Wrestlemania entrance, it'd be cool if you could select Wrestlemania entrances for Create-A-Superstars as well.
Why can’t I have Cody’s music when I change his entrance motion to Cody 2?
@@Kxng_Brunoxxvii copyrights I would assume.
@@usagentgaming3079 probably
@@usagentgaming3079so baffled how copy right can find it’s way on an offline feature
They probably do it on purpose💇♂️
That alternative ending to the RVD match is so true. That crowd would've started a riot
God, I’ve begged and prayed for years to finally be able to play in the performance center in exhibition mode, I’m so happy about this
In MyRise mode when fighting at the mocap arena, there’s some great commentary to be heard, my favorite being: “I haven’t seen moves this bad since 2K20.” 😂
Mocap arena?
I beat showcase mode and u never play in the mocap arena
@@sergioperez09 MyRise (female), not Showcase
@SLIQUE07 you get the same in the male myrise
😂😂 yeah that guy roasted the gsme
I do love the alternate endings to showcase matches and it seems to be something there doing going forward
picture a branching "what-if" 2k showcase
what if the curtain call never took place?
Wwe2k23 has lots of new and additional features in the game so far, and it's amazing how far this game has come into development, 2k has really improved so much and put their hard work, time, and dedication into something so small and turned out to be really huge.
I hope 2k24 is on next gen only and have a big leap.
Where are these "lots of new and additional features". I knew it was gonna be a copy of 2k22 and sure enough... I'm playing 2k22 again. But now with wargames.
@@Michaelsp007 smh. Why reply to this if you disagree 😂😂💀
@Deshawn Ruffin because commenting on posts is normal? But go on and defend trash games
Wrong.
I love that Cena and Lesnar can hit their finishers as reversals now. If you do a running move and Cena has a special he'll duck and hit the FU.
I LOVE that you can use those springboard moves as signatures. Thats so awesome!
When you do the mocap missions in MyRise, the person capturing the footage will reference WWE 2K20 and how bad it was, and they mention NBA and how much easier it would've been to capture the animations for that game as opposed to a WWE game.
The Car animations also have different moves. By pressing heavy instead of light. On the side of the Car you'll be smashing your opponent through the window.
For anyone wondering why you can’t run and hit the Cody Cutter, you have to go to his moveset and just equip the move again and it will let you run and hit it
really and where to go and eqiuped it on the moveset and again?
Did You Know… You have to save frequently when making a CAW because the game crashes and 2K still doesn’t have a fix for it?
Please be joking
@@RON_FBG nope I was streaming, and it just crashed on me. I was so disappointed I ended my stream immediately
You're right I ran into the same issue several times
The 2k23 pokes fun at Vince McMahon and his weird hatred for sneezing! When playing the lock my rise while arriving to raw on week 2 you’ll be greeted by a fictional superstar that gives you rules to go by, one of which is “never sneeze around the big boss”
Did you know when you play as chad gable if you hold down R2 on playstation or Rt on Xbox and taunt using left or right on the dpad he will do his signature " shooooos" taunt along with his " Thank you " taunt

That springboard top rope Cody Cutter is so awesome 🔥
When Cena beat RVD they should’ve been throwing stuff 🤣 really rioting
1:26 some amazing voice acting commentary by Corey graves there
Did you know that in the advanced entrance settings there are entrances for Tiffany Stratton and Wendy choo
Did you know that in universe mode if you for example, get attacked before a match, the commentators will remark about that both after that specific cut scene, and after the match.
Did you know if you hit the referee they will slow down when they count future pinfalls for you/speed up for the opponent
Time for a new season of DYK 2k23 🎉
I only tested it once but immediately came here after. I had a match with Triple H and Seth Rollins and during the match I went outside the ring and on the bottom right corner near the barricade was a water bottle on the floor. I believe it’s Triple H’s from his entrance. Pretty cool little detail.
The creation suite still includes most if not all clothing and images for imperium before the name changes.
The same trick that lets you equip jackets and capes for in-ring gear on your 2nd attire slot works again this year. Handy for people who want to make superhero-themed caws with their capes, or just caws that wear attire that's normally limited to entrance-only.
Remember when you could do so much more? Smackdow here comes the pain, would let you interact with EVERYTHING and go anywhere. Plus weapons were more fun in earlier games, before 2k.
Did you know you can now put larger stages in the newest large stadium in Create an Arena? Last year you weren't able to put (example) Mania XIX stage in the newest stadium for the mode but this year you now can
Did you know that 2K again using wrong renders for retro models of current wrestlers?
For example: Orton 09 uses render of Orton from 2011 SmackDown
Yeah just like 98 Undertaker is actually how he looked in 99
I think I may have already found an Easter egg or at least a cool coincidence. In the wrestlemania 22 arena, the posters for shawn michaels and Eddie guerrero are next to each other, possibly referencing the rumor that they were planned to face off at that event had eddie not passed away at the end of 05.
Beyond that, I saw people uploading 06 edge with alternate gear that's in the game that isn't used (his 04 style gear) which led me to finding 1999 dx triple h tights as well!
Oh man, you paid $120 for this game?
@@dr.loomis4221 what's it matter to you
@@dr.loomis4221 plenty of people did.
@KidNamedFinger why can't people just enjoy themselves?
@Razza D not to my knowledge. I think the triple h tights are from his myfaction model last year with them finally giving you the parts to use in the creation suite. As for edge, idk what they're from but those tights with the faces on the legs like he had in 04/early 05 if I'm not mistaken weren't there before.
Wish we could have custom tag team entrances been wanting that for years
That would be awesome 👌...
they need to fix the Jukebox in this game Cody rhodes theme isn’t available and same for judgement days theme. I hope they add a Judgement day motion for Dominik like how they did for ‘19 for UE
Its because the band didnt allow them to use it. Its not a bug
That doesn't make sense because it's in the game...
It's a licencing issue tbf
@@PlusUltra97 yet they let them use edges theme🤔its the same band
It will sick if Cena ECW champ Motion included on edit motion 😂😂
There’s 3 or 4 images of Pat McAfee on the creations image option
Looks like Kingdom will be my most played song on Spotify again this year, it’s the only solution to the Cody problem
I'm so happy to see cars in backstage are usable.
There's special commentary for Super Cena including his overall being 100
Did you know that Apollo crews old to the top theme song is in the game and is assigned to commander azeez
I want to know how to use a custom attire for Cody without losing the music 😂
Its a licensing issue. You cant
@@apearce4415 same with the RK-BRO theme which also isn't in the jukebox but can be selected when you change the team from separate to enter together. Luckily i don't have a issue with Cody's in game attire personally
Why can’t I have Cody’s music when I change his entrance motion to Cody 2?
2k fumbled the bag on that one
fr hopefully they can patch it i mean its still cody just a different attire
The one time I didn't do the tutorial was the one time it unlocked something. No wonder Xavier woods gave me that smug smile, he knew what I was missing out on
Making the move...and then not making corner springboards a finisher/signature postion is real smoothbrained
Did you know that aliyah has a special reversal when you counter a corner move 🤌
I want to add to the Xavier Woods and Cena match. When it starts, you can change the controller assignment and play as Cena, and you can beat Xavier. I still got the PC arena too

Did you know that Corey graves references Butch’s old ring name of Pete Dunne
Did you know you could use moveable scars with the same hair color as extra locks of hair?
I’m lowkey upset they took away the ability to pick a jukebox song for your entrance theme
I wanted to use Sad But True for Undertaker ABA...sucks they took that out.
That was so disappointing
I really like that they are rewarding you for finishing basic task now and hopefully they do that with My faction this year. It keeps the replay value fresh
got 2k23 today and its awesome shoutout to wwe games and 2k
Would've been better if they added back the car finishers
I just hate that we can not change Cody‘s entrance or win motions without his theme song being took out. What‘s the point of having multiple motions for him then?
You can’t even use alternate tights either. I can’t stand the red tights he has so it KILLS me not being able to use others
@@Legend-Killer322 sad stuff. As long as Smoke and Mirrors is not an option nobody would give Cody a different theme song…
did you know 2k overcharges and under delivers?
Did you know:
Rey Mysterio Jrs alternate Starrcade 1996 attire has the face paint from the main attire from Halloween Havoc when loaded into gameplay. However, if you create an alternate attire for Rey Jr using the Starrcade attire and save it, that created alternate will not have the face paint when you load it into gameplay.
This series is the best wwe2k related content on YT
So here are some did you know facts I have.

Im The Lock Showcase, at the MoCap Arena, the announcers have some hilarious easter eggs.
in the Legacy MyRISE if you do one of the side quests where you help do mocap for 2K then you can hear the person in charge reference 2K20 and Wrestlemania 36 in the P.C along with NBA2K.
did you know that cody rhodes song isn’t included in the list when selecting music
Welp there goes my custom entrance plans😭
you can just set it to Cody's other entrance in create entrance mode
I’m gonna wait until Friday so I can get it from the PlayStation store
did you know corey graves makes a reference to the dudley boys when pulling out tables
You can also press X/A (Ps or Xbox) during a pin fall instead of flicking the stick to kick out
I’m not sure if it was a thing before. But now if you get rolled up and pinned in an exhibition match. You can attack the person after the match when they walk away
Gunther is the truth in this game he’s one of my favorites 💯
@Smacktalks Did you know that once you beat Showcase Mode, you can fight and unlock an invisible character named Super Cena?
Incase yall don't know! Rk-Bro theme music is in the game!
Theres a special shoutout to the dudley boys whenever you get a table! Its a cool little shoutout!
Not sure if it was in 2k22 but The Undertaker sticks his tongue out during the Tombstone pin animation.
That Cena alternate ending if he would've beat RVD is so accurate. That crowd was so ruthless
Morrison’s motion is still in the game. Now I can recreate my caw from 2k22
Did you know that when playing in showcase facing John Cena with Triple H the announce tables have the ECW logo on them?
Yes that what was at the event Raw smackdown and ECW tables should be 3 announce tables at once there's also a flaw at hell in a cell 2009 there should be a Raw table not 2 smackdown tables
Did you know that Keith Lee’s entrance and victory motions (including title victory) are in the game titled “Limitless”
I'm so excited for these videos again.
Did you know Reggie has a unique reversal to a clothesline, and he also has unique dodges?
Yeah he does that in real life too, didn't prevent them from putting a mask on him.
I didn't know you can unlock the PC Center Arena thanks for showing me this
Played on ps4
Bug 1 - When i used undertaker for ps4, the tombstone finisher on settings and display, upon playing the tombstone is a dragonsleeper as a finisher.
Bug 2- select x and circle /cancel controls in reverse on display
did you know the rivalry system bugs tag matches and turns them into single matches
I quit the match against Cena and still got the Performance Center
Oh no!!!! Here we go again 😂
For anyone who doesn't know there is charged signatures now which makes it nice nit having to pick up the opponent up everytime
I randomly found that out in showcase as biker Taker
couldn't you just do the wake up taunt?
Reggie has a unique reversal to closelines
The alternate ECW ending should’ve had the crowd riot
Did you know there are two new tag team championship victory motions. One for Imperium and one that seems like it’s for Toxic Attraction as they were the only women’s tag team given the motion.
You can also press X near the back of the truck or car to break the window when dragging someone and I cracked the, second if you carry someone when they’re over your shoulder and press, delete attack button a.k.a. square near the window you’ll send them through it
Playing myrise has unlockables like a hurt business or evolution tights. So it’s worth a play through or two to get these kinda stuff if you want them
There is also a side mission you get that unlocked triple H when he was in WCW
I noticed the Cody Cutter says "Standing Springboard." Are we not able to assign it as a running springboard signature? I think it'd look a lot cleaner that way
I commented somewhere about how to fix it on this video
I gotta agree that 2k22 backstage brawl didn’t have a lot of interactions,, but 2k23 will be better
If you play as Butch and you do his signature move the wrist assault the crowd will chant break his fingers
On the Cody Rhodes entrance you don't have to play at WrestleMania to see his entrance like that you can just change it yourself he has two entrances
i don't know if someone already commented this but
did you know that in bron breakkers entrance there can be a reference to scott steiner his infamous math promo on tna
Did you know that if you turn off automatic rivalries and have 1 empty rivalry slot you can pick a cutscene in almost every match
Something cool, and I THINK new when playing MyGM. If you click on someone on your roster, where it asks if you want to end their contract, it shows their win-loss record.
New year, new Did You Know series baby!!
Amazing work as always thanks for the tips. I did skip the tutorial 😅
Did you know there's a reference to Sami Zayn's past character in MyRise?
In the MyRise Lock mode, you'll see yourself in a match with a wrestler named, El Ordinario. This is in reference to Samy Zayn's past persona before WWE called El Generico. Ordinario has a similar attire look as well.
The Ordinario was in WWE 2k22 that's nothing new
I had no clue the parking lot even existed in 2k22
Did you know in the showcase match with Undertaker 03, Undertaker is wearing a bandana at the start of the match, but after one of the live scenes, his bandana comes off? So the remainder of the match he won't have a bandana on
