WWE's previous attitude towards the independent wrestling scene was to pretend it didn't exist. Even when future World Champs like CM Punk and Daniel Bryan were scaling the system, fans were told that their accomplishments outside WWE didn't mean too much. That frosty outlook has softened in more recent times.

For the first time, indy wrestling is now part of WWE's official lexicon.

In 2K19's MyCareer, you'll follow the exploits of ex-WWE wrestler and agent Barron Blade as he attempts to run a company called BCW. What follows is a twisting tale of subterfuge and drama as his top stars try to catch Triple H's eye. Without spoiling anything major from the main story, you'll get to wrestle some indy dates.
