WWE 2K22 will feature a 2K Showcase mode centered around the game’s cover star, Rey Mysterio. The mode will feature a number of pivotal matches from Mysterio’s legendary WWE career, several of which were revealed during a 30-second teaser during this week’s Monday Night Raw. Those matches included Mysterio retaining the Intercontinental Championship against Dolph Ziggler at SummerSlam 2009, Mysterio vs. Eddie Guerrero at WrestleMania 21, Mysterio vs. Batista on SmackDown in 2009 and Mysterio losing the World Heavyweight Championship to Undertaker at Royal Rumble 2010.
Mysterio gave a bit more insight into the 2K Showcase mode during a press event shortly after 2K confirmed he’d be on the cover this year. WWE 2K22 is scheduled for release on March 11 on all major platforms.

“Without a doubt. We have the very first WrestleMania moment where it’s Eddie versus Rey Mysterio, WrestleMania 21, WrestleMania goes Hollywood,” Mysterio said. “That moment right there, that’s what kicked off this feud between Eddie Guerrero and myself, And shortly after, Eddie left us… and there was another special moment that came out of that where I was able to face HBK in a memorable show that we had that night displayed for Eddie’s passing, you know?”
“And as hard as that was, that moment was very special and I knew that Eddie was looking down and enjoying that night, along with all of us that were part of that event,” he added. “But yeah, HBK versus Rey Mysterio.
