WWE 2K19 is slated to hit the stores on 5 October 2018 for PC, Xbox One and PS4. This year's iteration promises to include a slew of improvements to the game mechanics, which could bring the game one step closer to deliver authentic wrestling experience. The company behind the franchise announced a host of changes, including the reworked MyCareer mode and the massive playable roster featuring over 200 superstars from the past and the present.

Furthermore, the 2K Showcase mode makes a return to the game after a two-year absence, which highlights the career of Daniel Bryan. That itself is a wonderful storyline to be a part of; however, there are so many moments in WWE that bring a smile to the face and warrant a Showcase mode specifically designed for them.

Let us look closer at the five careers or storylines that could have been a part of the 2K showcase mode in WWE 2K19.


#5 AJ Styles second title reign

The Phenomenal
"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles

The showcase mode could start from the moment AJ Styles lost the United States Championship to Baron Corbin at the Hell in a Cell.

After a failed attempt to regain the US title, the focus could be shifted to his feud with Jinder Mahal, and ultimately, his victory against the Modern Day Maharaja for the WWE Championship.

Following this, the entire story will have interesting notes, including the handicapped-match against Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. The classic build-up to the match against Shinsuke Nakamura at WrestleMania 34 is a must. Nakamura's heel turn could be explored in great depths as the Japanese superstar brought in a host of memorable moments to the rivalry.

Finally, the story could end with AJ Styles retaining his championship by defeating Nakamura in a Last Man Standing Match at the Money in the Bank event.

#4 Seth Rollins' quest to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion

The Architect
"The Architect" Seth Rollins

Adding the Seth Rollins storyline in the 2K Showcase mode brings in a lot of dynamism to the game as one could play both as the face and the heel in a single campaign.

The game could begin with Shield dominating the entire division with some top-draw performances at every pay-per-view event. This would be followed by the segment where the trio worked for Triple H and The Authority, which could highlight the tensions between them while failing to secure important victories, including the one for the World Championship at the Elimination Chamber.

The face side of the campaign would build around their rivalry with the Evolution. The final segment of the mode could revolve around Seth Rollins' association with Triple H, his money in the bank victory and finally, the cash-in at WrestleMania to clinch his first WWE World Championship.

#3 John Cena's first WWE Championship title

During his long stint with WWE, John Cena established himself as one of best entertainers in the industry, and a showcase mode dedicated to his first WWE Championship title.

The story could start right in the middle of the 2005 Royal Rumble match, that featured an interesting finish as both John Cena and Batista went over the top rope at the same time. The drama resulting from Vince McMahon's interference would set the tone perfectly for a great Showcase.

John Cena's win to become the number one contender and the feud with JBL and his Cabinet would serve as a perfect build-up for the title-winning match at WrestleMania 21.

The unveiling of the spinner championship belt and his I Quit match against JBL to reclaim the original championship would be the perfect setting to finish the Showcase mode on a high note.

#2 Charlotte Flair's Smackdown Women's Championship reign

With the ongoing women's revolution in WWE, Charlotte Flair's Smackdown Women's Championship reign is a worthy contender, as it has produced some excellent matches in the women's division.

The Showcase mode could capture Charlotte's moments right from the moment she was drafted to the Smackdown brand. It could include bits and pieces of her rivalry with Natalya, Carmella and Tamina along with her failed attempt to clinch the title at Hell in a Cell.

A title victory and successful title defences could be explored before ending it with the epic match against Asuka at WrestleMania 34, which saw Charlotte Flair put an end to the Japanese professional wrestler's undefeated streak.

#1 Randy Orton's feud with Evolution and Undertaker

Like the Seth Rollins' quest, Randy Orton's feud with Evolution would be a great option to explore both the face and the heel storylines, which would ultimately give the end user more choice when it comes to living some of the most memorable moments of WWE.

The Showcase mode's first match would be the 20-man Battle Royale for the WWE Championship. Orton winning it and becoming the youngest world champion in the history of WWE would set the tone perfectly for the feud with Evolution.

Triple H's chilling thumbs-down, the Evolution's vicious attack on Randy Orton are an absolute must. Following this, the mode could explore all of Orton's devious ways to extract revenge on his former Evolution stablemates, including the iconic cake incident.

The final portion of the Showcase mode could explore his unsuccessful attempt to end Undertaker's streak at WrestleMania. This segment of the storyline had great character, and featured promos from Jack 'The Snake' Roberts and Bob Orton, adding further drama to the plot.
