Booyaka Booyaka!

Rey Mysterio has been confirmed as the latest subject to go under the microscope in 2K's Showcase Mode. Last time, the dev team focused on the 'Women's Evolution', but (like everything else in 2K20) that didn't really cut it. This, with all the other new improvements, should be a step forwards.

It's also nice to see 2K zoom in on one wrestler's career again. They do that really well, and actually seem to handle singular focus better than a broader narrative; the women's story was a tad bitty, put it that way. Plus, with Rey Rey, 2K can go back in time to the WCW days, his earliest SmackDown moments and then come full circle with Dominik Mysterio.

This should be a good time. The 2K22 trailer showed Rey discussing how he's managed to make a name for himself a "land of giants", so it looks like his underdog mentality and 'against the odds' successes will be the main hook.

Makes sense.
