WWE 2K23 Unlockables List, How To Unlock All Characters, Arenas & Championships

Similar to previous years, WWE 2K23 features an In-Game Store, where players must use Virtual Currency (VC) to purchase the various Unlockables / Purchasable items. You can obtain VC by playing matches in all Game Modes, and the game starts you off with 1,000 VC by default.

In addition, several hidden Superstars, Arenas, and Titles can be unlocked by playing through 2K Showcase Mode and MyRISE Mode.

On this page, you find the full list of all VC Purchasables, 2K Showcase Unlockables, and MyRise Unlockables in WWE 2K23, including Superstars & Legends, Arenas, and Championships, along with the condition required to unlock each item.

If you have the Supercharger that comes with the Deluxe Edition, you can unlock all VC Purchasable automatically. However, the Supercharger won't unlock the 2K Showcase & MyRise Unlockables - you still need to complete those matches to get the rewards.

I noticed they are missing one of the championship belts on here. There is a "Cena Legacy" Belt that is not showing up on the list that you unlock. I'm pretty sure it is through finishing the Showcase, but I don't remember exactly where I got it for certain.

I’ve completed the Showcase and Lock and Legacy in My Rise on PS5. The unlockables list here is mostly accurate. I unlocked two additional arenas. There is a Wrestlemania My Rise Arena and a Justine Battle Royal Gym in Legacy to unlock. The Highschool BCM gym was available to me by default, but i was able to unlock the LAW arena instead in My Rise.

So, certain entrances from past wrestlers in the games were missing in Create An Entrance, thought they were removed for good, then I bought the Supercharger and they showed up again.

Does anyone know anything about this? How long has this been a thing?

I'm going to give fair warning: the game does have a crashing effect at random times as well a certain way during GM Mode that I have ran into while playing.
Using the "Sim Show" when looking over the results of the match (My brother and I simulated twice and discovered this issue)

The problem is that it somehow ends up corrupting data and causes the game to crash constantly in this mode. Once we stopped using these "Sim Show," it seemed to fix itself and has been working.

  @Delron Utsey All 3 versions of Molly (Molly Holly, 02 Molly, & "Pure" Mighty Molly (current Molly in the cape) are through the MyRise, along with Raw 2002.
  
  I don't know if the MoCap thing is only through the "Legacy" storyline or if it, like a lot of the other items (not including the Showcase or VC), can be found through the Men's side.

  @Christopher Bailey Still sad that 80s Hogan & 00s Hogan use the same song. I know 00s did use it, but they still could have let Hogan get the other theme that is more fitting to his character at that time.
  
  Then again that would mean that WWE & 2k would have to pony up money to pay for copyright songs and they aren't as big on that as they should be. Otherwise, we would probably have LOTS of music like AEW does or chance they would bring back "custom music" like in the past.

  @Tom Kennedy It is. You play as Cena in the Showcase for the final match in a "Generational Fatal 4-Way" elimination match, where you take on Bruno, 80s Hogan, & Austin. You win and get Bruno & 80s Hogan.

  @Caleb Carver source please??? cause he was scanned for ACTION FIGURES NOT VIDEO GAME AS FAR AS WE KNOW
  wwhat year did we had extra character not already announced in the showcase wiht a bonus match? none
  last year we knew way before the game released that dominik was playable, (and when rey talked about unlockable in the showcase he told that dominic will be unlockable in that mode)
  the 2k20 had no bonus match
  2k19 we had for bonus daniel bryan( already in the game for the showcase and and was already unlocked , and it unlocked brian danielson wish was also the first match character , and we knew right beore the game release that he will be playable
  
  so what make you think this year a bonus woudl feature a un announced character when we already have the name o all wrestler from showcase(exept their alternate persona(jean paul levesques , and mighty molly (yet to unlock molly holly we have to play my rise )
  so sorry but id ont thikn that carlito is in the game unlike waht you claim
