The biggest addition to this years entry is the long request General Manager Mode. Also known as GM Mode, WWE 2K22 allows players to take control of one of either Raw or Smackdown, and manage their brand to beat their opposite number in the ratings. This includes drafting your roster, poaching stars from your rivals and booking your show all the way from the first show of the year to the main event of Wrestlemania.
That addition will be spoken about more in depth in another article. Let us continue with the main part of the article – WWE 2K22: NWO edition.

Fans will also be given special bonuses for the games career mode. The MyRISE Mega-Boost, and a SuperCharger pack will be available as part of the career mode, which will be known as “MyRISE” this year to match up with other 2K games such as NBA 2K22.

Syxx is the next addition. He is also known as X-Pac or Sean Waltman, and is included as part of the WWE 2K22 NWO Pack.
