Gameplay Videos

Dale Driver of IGN took viewers on an in-depth look at the new gameplay mechanics in this year's game, including the usage of weapons. No longer do they lie around with no consequence.

Now, landing on them results in increased damage, and new injury reactions help ensure the game is as real-to-life as possible.

There are several new match types in this year's game to keep fans satisfied but the Attitude Era staple, the Inferno Match, figures to be one of the favorites in this year's release. YouTube account Well Played gave fans a look at the match featuring Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre.

The MyGM mode is traditionally a favorite, especially for those who like fantasy booking shows and overseeing every facet of production. YouTuber Assemble provided an in-depth look at this year's edition, including several upgrades to improve and expand gameplay.

CM Punk on joining John Cena as only two-time solo cover athlete:

"I mean, gratitude would be the word. I never thought this would happen to me again. If I were a baseball player, I never thought I'd be in the batter's box again. And to still have a fastball, see a fastball coming and be able to hit it out of the park. I'm so grateful," he told Arash Markazi of The Sporting Tribune.

He continued, "I'm firing on all cylinders. I think I'm better than I've ever been. And I think saying that at this stage of my career is pretty incredible. I think of guys like Terry Funk or athletes in other sports who defied what society told them was 'too old' and still found a way to perform at a super high level. I'm kind of that guy now. It makes me smile."
