Challenging Other Players
The Island is its own territory outside of the ring made up of four districts centered around different WWE themes. Here players can take on quests, challenge other players, customize their characters, and more while trying to impress “The Original Tribal Chief” Roman Reigns, and earning a WWE contract.
With Intergender wrestling available, WWE Superstars from the men’s and women’s divisions can now compete against each other and set up countless new matchups across most game modes. Additional features include the return of Chain Wrestling, the new Bloodline Rules Match and Underground Match, and new barricade diving.
