This year, WWE 2K23 will have the popular Showcase Mode available, offering plenty of unlockable rewards to players. This year is all about John Cena, who is also the poster icon. Naturally, all of the matches in the Showcase Mode are iconic contests featuring the superstar alongside some of his contemporaries from previous times.

Thanks to the unique reward potential in this mode, it has become a hub of popularity in the last few years. It’s quite easy to understand why things will be similar in WWE 2K23 as well. With John Cena being the featured superstar, it could become even more exciting for players.
