About MyRise Mode
2 of 3In this year's MyRise mode, players can choose one of two paths toward stardom.
In one, they do things the right way, the traditional babyface who earns their success and acclaim. In the other, they take shortcuts, cheat to win, and do whatever it takes to win, even if it means sacrificing their morals to do so.
In either instance, the story begins with a devastating loss to Paul Heyman's chosen champion, either Bron Breakker or Jordynne Grace. Clawing back into contention and gaining another title shot is the ultimate goal.

Tips for Creating the Best Superstar Possible

Ultimately, your Superstar should be whatever you want it to be.
If you want to create a competitor that closely resembles you, there are plenty of opportunities, thanks to new face and body morphing technology.
If you want to create a wholly unique character that looks unlike anyone who has ever set foot in a WWE ring, go ahead.
This is your opportunity to create a competitor whose appearance is representative of you and your creativity.
Be Aware of Who You Face on Your Journey
On the men's side of things, your Superstar will combat a bevvy of tough, physical wrestlers. Fatu, The Wyatt Sicks, and even Page can brawl with anyone. Combating them will mean being able to absorb their punishment and match it with your own.
Ditto the final boss, Breakker.
The New Day and Jey Uso are savvy veterans who have done it all in WWE. They are not technicians, though, so being able to out-wrestle them will benefit you.
Being mindful of their weaknesses and creating a Superstar with the attributes and fighting style that counters theirs will be important.
The same goes for the women's side of things, with the need to be able to thwart the calculated styles of your opponents with a brawling style.
And do not forget about those press conferences, new to this year's mode. Make sure you have the necessary charisma to make an impact and achieve the highest level of star you can.
