Earn all trophies.
I get knocked down…
Use Payback Instant Recovery to quickly rise after being knocked down. (PLAY mode against A.I.)
Paybacks are an additional ability that can be called upon in certain match circumstances, some superstars will have this as one of their chosen paybacks but it can be given to any superstar so from the main menu select play followed by 1vs1 and finally normal match.
Select the superstar you wish to fight as and then choose edit payback before confirming your selection, now change the upper payback option to instant recovery and then select your opponent and start the match.
To activate the instant recovery payback you must first fill the little icon up to the top this can be seen to the left of your health bar in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. Let the opponent beat you up until the payback icon is fully yellow, with that done you now need to get knocked to the ground in order to trigger your payback.
When your on the ground you will get an onscreen prompt to press: R2+Square.
Which will trigger your payback after which your Trophy will unlock.
I got the Poison
Use Payback Spray Poison Mist to your opponent’s face. (PLAY mode against A.I.)
Paybacks are an additional ability that can’t be used during a match to give you an advantage. To get this particular payback from the main menu select play followed by 1vs1 and finally normal match.
Select any superstar you wish to fight as and under the edit paybacks, make sure the bottom row says poison mist, now select any opponent and start the fight. You’ll need to let your opponent beat you up until the point that your payback icon fills with red to the top. With the poison mist payback ready to go knock your opponent to the ground then let them get back up now press: R2+Triangle to spray the poison mist.
Once you have successfully sprayed the mist in your opponents face, your Trophy will unlock.
I’ll be there for you!
Activate the Run-In Payback. (PLAY mode against A.I.)
Another payback trophy which is a special ability that can be used under certain circumstances during a match. Like all paybacks, they can be assigned to any superstar to do this from the main menu select play followed by 1vs1 and finally normal match.
Select any superstar you wish and select edit paybacks and choose the bottom row and make sure it’s the run-in payback. Now select and opponent and start the match. Your first aim is to fill up the payback icon which is simply a case of letting the opponent beat you up.
With the icon fully red your payback is ready to be used, let the opponent knock you to the ground and while you are recovering press: R2+Triangle. At the same time and a mini cut scene will roll where an ally of your superstar will appear at the arena entrance and at this point your Trophy will unlock.
Nothing Personal, Kid
Hit your Finisher immediately after activating Blackout Payback. (PLAY mode against A.I.)
Payback is an additional ability that if used during a match gives you an advantage over the opponent and in this case blackout makes the arena go dark and you have the element of surprise on your opponent. From the main menu select play followed by 1vs1 and finally normal match, select any superstar you wish to play as then select edit payback and make sure that the bottom selection is blackout.
Now select any opponent you wish to face and press Triangle to bring up the game options menu, select custom game rules and choose the 3rd tab to give each superstar one finisher. Start the match and let the opponent beat you up until your payback icon is fully red in the bottom left-hand side of your superstar info bar.
When that icon is fully red make sure your opponent is stood up and NOT in a groggy state as this payback uses the element of surprise so press: R2+Triangle. Where the arena lights will go dark and you will appear behind the opponent.
Now all you need to do is press Square+Triangle to use your finisher where your Trophy will unlock.
No Tanks!
Use the Tank buff to minimize damage from your opponent’s Finisher. (PLAY mode agaisnt A.I.)
Another payback trophy which gives you a special ability during a match that can and will give you an advantage. From the main menu select play followed by normal match, now select any superstar you wish you wish to fight, then select edit paybacks and make sure the payback tank buff is active.
Now select any opponent and start the match as normal, let your payback bar fill up and then when it is fully red you have your payback ready to go. Now your opponent needs to have a finisher and when they perform their finisher you will get an onscreen prompt to press: R2+Triangle.
Which will use your payback to reduce the damage received from the finisher and once used your Trophy will unlock.
Ding!
Use Payback Low Blow to slow your opponent down. (PLAY mode against A.I.)
Payback are abilities that can be used in-game to give you an advantage over your opponent. From the main menu select play followed by 1vs1 and finally normal match. Select any superstar you wish to fight as and select edit paybacks and make sure the bottom row is the low blow payback, now select any opponent and start the match.
Now let the opponent beat you up until the payback icon is fully red in the bottom left-hand side of your superstar bar. With that done, you can go on the offensive and hit the opponent a couple of times, with the opponent phased from your attacks press: R2+Triangle to use your payback.
If the referee sees you it will result in a match loss, however, your Trophy will still unlock.
Playing Possum
Finish your opponent using a possum pin. (PLAY mode against A.I.)
Another payback trophy but this payback trophy can be a little bit trickier than most of the others. From the main menu select play followed by 1vs1 and finally normal match. Select any superstar you wish to play as and then select edit payback and make sure the top row is the payback, possum, select any opponent and start the match.
Like most other paybacks you need to let the opponent beat you up to fill the payback icon but for this one, you have to deal damage to the opponent so you can perform the possum pin and get the win. So this could take a couple of attempts, for me I used finishers and signatures to wear the opponent down and when your possum payback icon is fully yellow located on the bottom left-hand corner of the superstar bar.
Make sure the opponent knocks you to the ground then press: R2+Circle.
To perform the pin, should you be successful and get the win your Trophy will unlock.
Imposter
Defeat your opponent with their own Finisher. (PLAY mode against A.I.)
A payback trophy which is an added ability you can call upon during a match to give you leverage over your opponent. To get this trophy from the main menu select play followed by 1vs1 and finally normal match now select any superstar you wish to fight as and select edit paybacks and make sure the bottom row is set to move thief.
Select any opponent and before you start the match press Triangle to bring up the match options, select custom match rules then select the third tab and give yourself and the opponent 1 finisher, start the match and like most payback trophies you need the opponent to beat you up to fill up your payback icon.
When your payback icon is fully red which can be found in the bottom left hand side of your superstar bar you need to press: R2+Triangle to active it. Now using the finisher you gave yourself at the start of the fight knock the opponent to the ground and pick them up, then press: Square+Cross.
Where you will perform the opponents’ finisher now press Circle for the pin where your Trophy will unlock.
By Gawd!
Put your opponent through the top of the cell. (PLAY mode against A.I.)
In order to get this trophy, you need it to be a hell in a cell match so from the main menu select play followed by 1vs1 and finally hell in a cell. Pick any superstar you wish to play as and any superstar you wish to fight against but before you start the match press Triangle to bring up the game options menu and then select custom game rules and choose the 3rd tab to give each superstar one finisher.
The finisher will be used to put your opponent through the cell, now start the match and your first aim is to get outside the ring and near the cell perimeter. Once you’re next to the cell with your opponent on on-screen prompt will tell you to press: Square+Triangle, Triangle.
To perform an OMG which is a cutscene of you breaking through the cell wall. Now exit the cell using R1 then walk to any of the cell walls and press R1 to climb the cell, your opponent will do the same.
With both of you on top of the cell hit your opponent a couple of times and perform your finisher by pressing Square+Triangle this will send your opponent crashing through the cell where your Trophy will then unlock.
Never look back
Steel Cage: Escape through the door. (PLAY mode against A.I.)
As the trophy descriptions says this can only be done in a steel cage match to start this match from the main menu select play followed by 1vs1 and steel cage. You can fight as any superstar you wish and against any opponent you wish. The aim is to escape through the door located in the bottom left-hand side of the ring, which is guarded by a referee.
You need to beat up your opponent enough so that they are lying on the floor so you have enough time to make the escape. To escape you need to move into the corner where the door is situated and press L1 to get the referee to open the door.
With the door open you now to need press R1 to exit but unfortunately, it takes your superstar an insanely long amount of time to leave so should the AI get back up they will trigger a mini-game to stop you escaping so should this occur you need to beat them up again and trigger the whole escape sequence again.
Eventually, the AI will be down for the count you will be able to leave the cage, where your Trophy will unlock.
Cage Top Drop
Steel Cage: Push off an opponent from atop the Cage. (PLAY mode against A.I.)
Another trophy that requires you to be fighting in a steel cage so to start a steel cage match from the main menu select play followed by 1vs1 and finally steel cage.
At any point in a steel cage match you can approach any of the sides and press R1 to start an ascent up the side of the cage, this is done in 2 stages the first stage is to ascend to the top then the second part is when you’re at the top to make your way out of the cage.
Both these steps are a random button press, to knock an opponent off the cage you both need to be at stage 2 of the escape from the cage. The best way to do this is to let the AI climb up first and you immediately follow them up.
When both you and the AI are at the top hit Square to start a fight and if you win the altercation the AI will fall back into the centre of the ring where your Trophy will unlock.
Cash Me Out
Win a Title by cashing in your custom MITB. (PLAY mode against A.I.)
To do this from the main menu select creations followed by MITB and finally new. Now make the briefcase however you would like and then once done editing it select finalise now you will proceed to the information screen now this is important to remember as you will be selecting a championship that you wish to challenge and a challenger for the champion.
Remember who is the holder of the championship and the superstar you want to be the challenger now return to the main menu. Select play followed by 1vs1 and finally normal match now select the superstar you assigned the money in the bank briefcase to and the champion as your opponent.
Press R3 to make this a championship match and when you proceed you’ll be brought up with a new menu to fight for the championship or the MITB. Choose the championship, Now start the match and your aim is to win via pinfall or submission.
Should you fail you can restart the match at any time and keep doing this until you win.
Once you pick up the win your Trophy will unlock.
Fond Memories
SHOWCASE: Clear all matches.
Showcase is a total of 15 matches that follow the rise of 4 female superstars, all you need to do is complete all these 15 matches. To start showcase select 2k central from the main menu then select “the four horsewomen”.
Each of these matches has objectives that you can perform but these are not necessary so all you need to do is concentrate on winning and once you win all 15 matches your Trophy will unlock.
Stepping Stone
MyPLAYER TOWERS: Complete one Tower.
MyPlayer towers are matches that require you to win all the matches in the tower to succeed as if you lose just one match you have to start the whole tower again but thankfully it’s not as hard as it sounds.
From the main menu select MyPlayer and when in that menu press R1 until you reach the MyPlayer towers tab.
Now select the option tower collection and choose any of the easy options as they are only 3 matches long, once you have beaten all 3 matches in a row your Trophy will unlock.
A Fighter
2K CENTRAL TOWERS: Clear Roman Reigns’ Tower
Similar to Stepping Stone but this time you play as the superstar Roman Reigns. This is a total of 16 matches, each has different stipulations and match types, thankfully this is a progression tower so you can lose and all you need to do is restart again from that match loss.
You don’t have to win all matches by pin-fall or submission. So you can bend the rules by getting your opponent disqualified or counted out to make this easier.
Either way, once you have cleared all 16 matches your Trophy will unlock.
Superstar
MyPLAYER: Reach Prestige Rank 2.
Each match you play as with your created superstar will give you xp to reach prestige rank 2 you need to reach rank 25.
Once you have exceeded rank 25 your rank will return back to 1 but at that point, you will become prestige rank 2 and unlock your Trophy.
A road well traveled
ROAD TO GLORY: Win 50 matches.
Road to glory is where you use your created superstar and play matches online. No real strategy here just win matches at all costs, the easiest way is to find someone to boost this and trade wins while you make your way to 50 wins.
Once you have won your 50 match your Trophy will unlock.
High Pressure Situation
ROAD TO GLORY: Win a Main Event in a PPV.
In order to main event a PPV you must first earn stars, you earn stars by playing matches against another player in Road to Glory, you don’t have to win as the stars you earn are based on your performance.
Once you do have enough stars which are random for each PPV, you can then enter it but it only happens every so often so chances are you might have to wait several days.
When the day of the PPV does come round you have to play a total of 5 matches but only a couple can be unlocked. These matches are against CPU and each match Is only active for a couple of days so make sure you win before the timer runs out otherwise got will have to enter again the following month.
From now on it’s just a matter of winning the 5 matches as and when they become active, once you do win your fifth and final match your Trophy will unlock.
SNICKERS. Hunger to Win > Hunger
UNIVERSE: Play and Win 50 matches.
Universe is WWE 2k20’s take on manager mode so rather than simulating all the matches you have to compete and win as the superstars. The quickest way to do this is to create matches with no rules and use weapons to quickly wear opponents down and then go for the pinfall victory.
This is a cumulative total so you can do a couple of wins at a time and overall several days/weeks you will work your way towards the trophy. Once you have secured your 50th win your Trophy will unlock.
Yoink!
Use Payback Rush to steal 3 finishers in one match.
One of the harder payback trophy in WWE 2k20 bit can be made easier by setting up a match to aid the payback ability. From the main menu you want to play a Battle Royal match so either 6 man or 8 man, no superstar in the roster has the payback rush ability so select any superstar you wish and make sure you edit the paybacks and set the payback rush.
Now go into the settings and make sure that the match is pinfall and submission only and each superstar has 3 finishers then start the match. Let the AI hit you so it fills up your red payback icon fills up.
Now the tricky part is you need to steal 3 finishers in one go so you need the AI to play ball and have at least 3 superstars with one finisher now you need to press: Square+Triangle to initiate your payback. With that done you need to press L2 and run against an opponent who has a finisher and if your successful you will steal the finisher.
Now you need to keep running and if you steal the 3 finishers off 3 different superstars in one go, you will then unlock your Trophy.
Untouchable
Use Payback Fortify to deflect 1000 total damage.
The longest payback trophy to unlock but thankfully it’s not very hard to get. Start any match type you want and select any superstar you wish then edit the paybacks so they have the payback, fortify as and active payback.
Now let the AI beat you up until your red payback icon fills up and then press: Square+Triangle when you get the on-screen prompt. This will then give your superstar an all-chrome effect and from this point any damage received during this “chrome state” will count towards the 1000 total damage.
With this being a total of 1000 damage it will take several matches but once you a have taken the 1000 damage your Trophy will unlock.
Coordinated
Win by performing a Pin Combo, through a Signature or Finisher. (PLAY mode against A.I.)
Firstly you need to pick a superstar that can perform a pin immediately after using their finisher / signature move. For me, I chose the Undertaker because with 2 finishers that lead into a pin it makes the trophy easier. However as already stated this can be performed by any superstar with a finisher that leads into a pin.
From the main menu select play followed by 1vs1 and normal match now select the Undertaker who you can unlock for 5000 credits, if you don’t have enough credits keep playing matches and earning credits until you have enough. Choose an opponent and start the match, now keep playing until you have pummelled your opponent to the point that they are at critical damage and have no stamina.
You will be given an onscreen prompt to press: Square+Triangle. This will perform the signature move, towards the end of the animation another on-screen prompt of Circle will appear to perform a pin.
If you’re successful with the pin the match will end, if the opponent kicks out, attack them more until you can perform another signature and pin combo.
Once you do get the win your Trophy will unlock.
End Game
Win a Royal Rumble as entrant #1 or #2 against AI.(PLAY mode against A.I.)
What can we say it would not be a wrestling game without a royal rumble and it would not be a trophy guide without a win royal rumble. Thankfully this is easier than it sounds, from the main menu select play followed by royal rumble and choose 10 man.
Now select any superstar you wish but choosing a heavyweight or super heavyweight would be more advisable which is why I chose Goldberg due to his sheer strength and durability, with your superstar selected make sure you choose them to enter as entrant number 1 or 2.
Your aim is to keep your health bar healthy and not use up your stamina too soon whilst eliminating the AI as quickly and efficiently as possible. You will at some point suffer damage and get knocked to the ground and have to avoid elimination but that is part and parcel of this trophy.
One good strategy is to pick on the superstars that are low on health signified by a red health bar ad these can be eliminated without much hassle by using the strong Irish whip which is simply pressing and holding Circle.
Latter superstars entering the ring can be more tricky to take care of but the same technique can be used of wearing them down, should you get a finisher which is signified by a number next to the red F circle at the bottom left of your player bar you can deal a good amount of damage to a fresh superstar that has just entered the ring.
The AI will eliminate each other so you won’t have to defeat all 9 opponents but you will have to eliminate the vast majority. With the total rumble complete your Trophy will unlock.
Gladiator
PLAY: Take control of a Superstar and win a Tournament against AI with “DAMAGE RETENTION” enabled.
From the main menu select play, then tournament followed by 1vs1 and finally new. Make sure damage retention is turned to on in the tournament options screen and then proceed, this will bring up the tournament brackets screen.
Now take away the top superstar and replace them with whomever you wish to fight as and press options to finalise the matches. With the tournament finalised you can now highlight other matches and press Square to simulate the matches.
Now play your match and your aim is to win it quickly without taking too much damage. With your first match win, you will return back to the tournament screen and be at the next round of the tournament. Simulate the other match in the same bracket and again enter your next match and win it like the previous one, as quickly as possible without suffering too much damage.
Finally, you’re at the last match so win that match to win the tournament and return back to the menus. Press Cross to confirm the tournament results and at this point, your Trophy will unlock.
My Favorite!
Equip a single favorite weapon for a match and grab it from under the apron.
To get this done from the main menu choose play then 1vs1 and finally extreme rules. Select any superstar you wish and then select the weapon sub menu press Cross on the first weapon you see to activate this as your favourite.
Now save and exit, select an opponent and then when the match starts move toward the edge of the ring and press R1 to exit the ring, once on the outside of the ring move towards the ring apron and press L1 to grab a weapon from under the ring apron.
The weapon wheel will appear on the screen now and your favourite weapon should be highlighted so press Cross to retrieve this weapon, then your Trophy will unlock.
Cozy
CREATE: Create your own Arena.
To get this done from the main menu scroll down and select the creations option. Now choose arena followed by selecting new, once the arena loads alter any of the available options, for me, it was changing the name of the arena.
With this done save your changes and the Trophy will unlock.
A Good Year
UNIVERSE: Complete a year of Universe.
From the main menu select universe followed by new or continue if you have already started Universe mode. Now when you reach the universe menu select calendar and press R1 and advance until April which is the end of the WWE year.
Select the final show in April week 4 called “205 live” and press Cross to simulate all events up to this point. This will take the game a couple of mins, when the simulation is complete return back to the universe menu and select tonight’s show then select simulate all matches from the list of options followed by next show and yes from the pop-up menu.
Once complete your Trophy will unlock.
An Original
CREATIONS: Create a unique Superstar with their own Moveset, Entrance, and Victory pose.
From the main menu select creations followed by superstar then new custom superstar Select either male or female it’s a personal preference, from this point you’re free to make the superstar look exactly how you wish but to speed up the process I simply gave them an in-ring attire and a name.
When you’re done save all changes and you will return to the creations menu. Now we move onto part 2 which is to create a move-set so select move-set and press R1 to reach the custom superstar you just created and select them.
You will now have the freedom to create an individual move set that suits you but again for me to speed up the process I chose to import a move-set from the WWE roster, either way once your done save and exit to return to the creations menu.
Now part 3 is the entrance which similar to the last 2 parts is to select entrance from the creations menu and then superstar finally followed by selecting your custom superstar. With your custom superstar selected choose easy creation from the menu to proceed into the entrance options screen.
Now alter every sub-menu from motion at the top all the way down to apron and ring post move, choose any option you wish from each sub-menu and once you are done save and exit. The final part of this trophy is the victory pose so select victory from the creations menu followed by selecting your custom superstar and finally custom victory.
Very similar to the entrance you are presented with a selection of sub-menus so alter every menu from motion at the top all the way down to wall and banner move. Again it does not matter what you choose as long as you make a change in each menu.
Finally save your custom victory and your Trophy will finally unlock.
Take it easy
Play one Match using Assist Mode. (PLAY mode against A.I.)
To get this done from the main menu scroll down to options and select gameplay then press R1 until you reach the assist mode tab and make sure it’s enabled. Now return back to the main menu and select play followed by 1vs1 and normal match.
Select and superstar you wish to play as and any opponent.
Simply start the match and let your opponent win where your Trophy will unlock.
Reliable Worker
MyPLAYER: Complete a Side Plate.
Side plates are a list of objectives that you will receive in-game bonuses for completing every objective in the side plate.
Some are easy and others are harder and chances are you might complete one on your way towards the 50 Road To Glory wins, from looking at the entire list the easiest one, in my opinion, is called “balanced effort”.
This requires you to:
- Perform 4 pin attempts in one match.
- Perform 4 submissions in one match.
- Perform 4 finishers in one match.
- Perform 4 signatures in one match.
You can do multiple objectives in one match or just aim for one of the objectives. Competing in a no disqualification match is the easy way to gain momentum to perform your 4 signatures.
Once you have completed all objectives in a side plate, your Trophy will unlock.
Rare Foil
STORE: Open a Loot Pack.
Thankfully this can be opened very easily from the start of the game and to do this from the main menu select my player and if you have not done so already create your male and female superstars.
With that done you will eventually reach the my player main menu so press R1 until you reach the customise tab and then select loot pack store.
Now press Cross on any of the packs in the store to buy one then press L1 to enter before pressing Cross again to open the pack and unlock your Trophy.
Squad Up
As a Tag Team, perform your Tag Team Move. (PLAY mode against A.I.))
This requires you to play as a tag team but you don’t have to play as a recognised tag team simply 2 superstars will be fine. To do this from the main menu select play followed by 2vs2 and normal tag match.
Now select any 2 superstars you want to play as and select 2 opponents then start the match. With the match started your aim is to get the opponent into the corner with your tag team partner.
The easiest way of doing this is to Irish whip them into the corner using Circle, with the opponent in the corner you will see an on-screen prompt to press Cross to perform a double team.
Pressing Cross will trigger your partner to enter the ring whereby your Trophy will unlock.
Boosted
MyPLAYER: Use a Boost in a match.
To unlock a boost you must first use the in-game credits you earn to open up packs in the loot store thankfully this does not require a physical purchase even though it’s called the loot pack store.
And it is a very easy trophy to unlock, what you need to do is edit your boosts and paybacks while in the my player menu this is done by pressing Square.
With a boost enabled now all you need to do is finish a match in road to glory the result does not matter and upon completion of the match your Trophy will unlock.
It’s Showtime
UNIVERSE: Create a new Major Show in Universe.
Universe is WWE 2K20s’ manager mode so to get this done from the main menu select universe followed by new. When you reach the universe main menu select edit shows and then choose an empty slot then press Cross to create a new show and select major show from the pop-up menu.
You’re free to edit the show how you want but the quickest way is to add 10 participants from the WWE roster and then select edit championships.
Now add one championship if like me you may need to purchase a championship from the in-game store but these only cost 300 credits and you earn credits for each match you play so if you don’t have enough credits simply play more matches until you have enough.
Now with the championship selected assign it to any superstar then save and return back to the show menu and then save the show. At this point, your Trophy will unlock.
Fighting words
UNIVERSE: Activate a potential Rivalry.
From the main menu select universe followed by new continue or load all depending on if you have started universe mode yet or not. When you reach the universe main menu select calendar then press R1 to advance one month in the calendar then select any show on the bottom row and press Cross the screen will ask if you wish to proceed forward and simulate a months worth of events so select yes.
Simulating all matches will create rivalries so go back to the universe menu and select my universe followed by rivalries. Now add rivalries that are very high in intensity signified by the bar being red and then return back to the universe menu and simulate another month worth of shows.
Eventually one of these rivalries will happen and at that point, your Trophy will unlock.
An Iconic Duo
Perform a Dual Attack in a Mixed Gender Match. (PLAY mode against A.I.)
Very similar to Squad Up but this one takes place in a mixed-gender match. To start a mixed-gender match from the main menu select play followed by 2vs2 and finally a mixed-gender match. Now select any 2 superstars you wish and 2 opponents to face and start the match.
With the match started your aim is to get the opponent into the corner with your tag team partner. The easiest way of doing this is to Irish whip them into the corner using Circle, with the opponent in the corner you will see an on-screen prompt to press Cross to perform a double team.
Pressing Circle will trigger your partner to enter the ring and the Trophy will unlock.
No Refunds
Send your Opponent through a table. (PLAY mode against A.I.)
As the descriptions suggests you will need a table to succeed in getting this trophy. From the main menu select play followed by 1vs1 and finally table match.
Select any superstar you wish to fight as and any opponent, from the start of the match you will find tables outside and under the ring, so your first aim is to get one of those in the ring, to pick up a table you need to be stood near it and press R1 then to set a table up you need to press L1 whilst holding it.
Each table can take several hits before they break so you can Irish whip your opponent into one by using Circle. For me I found it best to lean the table against one of the corners of the ring, this can be done by holding Cross when near a ring corner and it will be placed there ready for your opponents back.
With this done keep Irish whipping your opponent into the table, thankfully the table will always stay in place, eventually, you will damage the table enough that your opponent will break it upon impact where you will unlock your Trophy.
Reversal of Fortune
Reverse a Finisher. (PLAY mode against A.I.)
This can be done in pretty much any game mode but for me, the quickest way was to do this is from the main menu select play then 1vs1 followed by normal match.
Choose any superstar you wish to fight as and against and before you start the match press Triangle to bring up the match options. Now select custom match rules and proceed to the third option screen called “match setting”. In this menu, you can start the match with up to 3 finishers which means the AI can perform a finisher from the match start.
So proceed into the match and every time the AI grabs you a Triangle will appear on screen this is your reversal so let the AI pummel you and eventually they will perform a finisher and if you time it correctly you will reverse the finisher and unlock your Trophy.
FREEDOM!
Break free from a Carry. (PLAY mode against A.I.)
This can be achieved at any time during any match but I found the best way was to from the main menu select play followed by 1vs1 and then a table match.
Select any 2 superstars you wish and start the match, the only way to win a table match is to put your opponent through a table and being a table match you can be picked up and carried over to a table.
So eventually the AI will pick you up in a carrying position, at this point, it will trigger a mini-game in which you have to repeatedly mash Circle to escape the carry.
Once done correctly you will unlock your Trophy immediately.
Enemy of the People
Defend successfully against elimination in a Royal Rumble match. (PLAY mode against A.I.)
Another simple trophy and to get this done from the main menu select play then royal rumble, you can choose any of the options but I chose the 10 man.
With the royal rumble started your aim is to let an opponent try to eliminate you over the top rope to trigger a mini-game where you need to press the button you see on screen.
This is a random button sequence so it’s trial and error, eventually, you will succeed and once you survive the elimination attempt your Trophy will unlock.
Attack of Opportunity
Attack a Groggy Opponent with a Diving Attack from the Top Rope. (PLAY mode against A.I.)
From the main menu select play followed by 1vs1 and finally normal match, this can be done using any superstar you wish for me I chose a heavyweight superstar in Roman Reigns because he can deal heavy damage to make it quicker for your opponent to reach the groggy state.
So select any superstar and an opponent and then start the match.
With the match started your first aim is to beat up your opponent so their health bar is in the red which makes them groggy.
With the opponent now in a groggy state, you can now perform the top rope attack. To do this make sure your opponent is on the ground then move towards any of the 4 corners and press R1 whilst pointing to the corner, if done correctly you will now climb through the ropes and make your way to the top turnbuckle.
Your opponent will get up and make there way over to you at this point press Square and you will jump and hit the opponent unlocking your Trophy.
No Surrender
Break out of a Submission without overlapping once. (PLAY mode against A.I.)
This can sound tricky but thanks to the options menu is incredibly easy and can be done the first time.
From the main menu scroll down to options, select gameplay now select submissions mini-game and change it from the stick to the 4 controller buttons, doing this negates the overlap feature of a submission hold.
Return back to the main menu and select play then 1vs1 and finally submission match, select any superstar you wish to fight as and any opponent and start the match.
Let the opponent attack you and eventually, they will put you into a submission move, now all you need to do is press the button that appears on screen to break the submission, unlocking your Trophy in the process.
Stubborn
Finish an opponent without landing a finisher or signature. (PLAY mode against A.I.)
This is can be done in pretty much any game mode but I found the best way was an extreme rules match.
To start an extreme rules match from the main menu select play followed by 1vs1 and finally extreme rules. Select any superstar you wish to fight as and an opponent and start the match.
The best way to get this done is to exit the ring by pressing R1 when next to any of the ring ropes now head near the ring canvas and obtain a weapon from under the ring by pressing L1 and selecting any weapon from the available options on the weapon wheel.
Now repeatedly hit your opponent until they are down and then pin them using Circle.
Should they kick out beat them up some more and attempt another pin, eventually, they won’t be able to get out of the pin and as long as you have not used your finisher / signature your Trophy will unlock.
Ready for my Closeup
Attack an opponent with the Tripod Foreign Object (PLAY mode against A.I.)
In order to unlock this weapon you must first complete chapter 11 of the My-Player career.
With the Tripod weapon unlocked start a match and use it to hit the opponent which will unlock your Trophy.
Overachiever
Use the Adrenaline Payback to Carry an opponent over your weight class. (PLAY mode against A.I.)
Paybacks are an additional ability in WWE 2k20 and in the Overachiever case you can lift a superstar who is heavier than you. From the main menu select play followed by 1vs1 and finally normal match.
WWE 2k20 has 4 weight categories and they are:
- Cruiserweight.
- Light heavyweight.
- Heavyweight.
- Super heavyweight.
Make sure your chosen superstar is one category lighter than the opponent. To make this as simple as possible choose Buddy Murphy from the superstar list as they naturally have the adrenaline buff as one of these paybacks and choose the opponent to be Dolph Ziggler.
You now have the correct weight categories so start the match. Let the opponent beat you up until your red payback icon in the bottom left-hand corner of your wrestler bar fills up completely. With that done, knock the opponent to the floor then press: R2+Triangle.
To activate your payback now when your opponent gets back to there feet hold R2 and move the R3 in any direction to start a carry, you will now pick up your opponent and your Trophy will unlock.
