Important takeaways

  • WWE 2K24 will soon add gimmick-switched superstars like CM Punk as Roddy Piper and Rhea Ripley as Triple H.
  • The Persona cards that can be unlocked in MyFaction mode allow for new costumes and stunts in WWE 2K24.

What makes Persona cards great is that these unlockables can be used in other modes besides the aforementioned MyFaction.

The mode has seen the likes of Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner added WWE 2K24. In a similar case, character models from previous games such as older versions of Sheamus and Triple H have been added as Persona cards as well. But apart from these Superstar gimmicks rooted in history, some original ideas have also come from this initiative. Such a package may come to WWE 2K24 soon.

WWE 2K24 leak could be good news for CM Punk fans

An interesting WWE 2K24 leak found in the latest patch brings good news to fans of Straight-Edge Superstar CM Punk.

Popular WWE 2K24 content creator WhatsTheStatus has shared his discovery of an upcoming set of gimmick-swapped superstars. The new one WWE 2K24 Persona cards will be coming to MyFaction in the near future and will feature the likes of CM Punk as Roddy Piper, and Rhea Ripley as Triple H, among others. There's also Kevin Owens dressed as Stone Cold Steve Austin, complete with a bald cap. WhatsTheStatus added that two more characters have been shown to have data, but no models can be found in-game at this time. The two rumored inclusions are Shawn Michaels as Hulk Hogan and Undertaker as Shawn Michaels.


WWE 2K24 Persona Cards to be added to MyFaction soon

  • CM Punk (as Roddy Piper)
  • Rhea Ripley (as Triple H)
  • Kevin Owens (as Stone Cold Steve Austin)
  • Shawn Michaels (as Hulk Hogan)
  • Undertaker (as Shawn Michaels)


It's been a while since the game added fantasy characters. The last original idea was when WWE 2K24 added Demastered in patch 1.11. Even then, the new stuff itself was mostly just a few characters with low-poly models. While WWE has explored the idea of ​​gimmick switching in the past via various WWE photo shoots, most of the inclusions here are based on stark comparisons. The most obvious of these is Kevin Owens as Stone Cold due to the former using the latter's Stunner finisher.

Many in the comments section believe there is potential for MyFaction packs like these. For those who remember, WWE 2K20 The DLC went the fantasy route and added fictional alternate versions of the existing wrestlers. Although that game received a terrible reception due to its many bugs, many remember that it was a bold and brave idea to try something new to freshen up the roster. Hopefully, WWE 2K24s MyFaction Persona cards can try and explore this concept of originality. There may be future hopes to see the likes of Southpaw Wrestling again, or even other unique ideas.
