WWE 2K19: 10 Things You NEED To Do First

7. Win As #1 In The Royal Rumble

Gone are the days when one could fire up a Royal Rumble match, enter as #1, quickly eliminate #2 then camp out by the ropes throwing every poor sap who came out next over the top in one fluid motion. Since the early SmackDown days, Rumble matches have become a real challenge in WWE video games.

Lasting the marathon march from first to last is rock hard, but it's worth a go.

Playing a Rumble first is a neat way to see as many character models in the one match as you possibly can, and everyone's favourite 30-man melee was also great for testing out the controls last year. Expect things to be the same again in 2K19; those Rumbles are an ideal starting point.

They're certainly more entertaining than one-on-one singles matches, that's for sure. Plus, nabbing that achievement for winning from the #1 position is considered a WWE gaming badge of honour. Or, you could just set yourself as #30 and win that way.
