WWE 2K20 on Playstation 4 (PS4)

Dean Ambrose reference Easter Eggs

In the MyCareer mode, if you move the camera to look at the left side of the ring during the highlight reel in the run-down high school gym arena, you can spot a cardboard box that has written on it: “Dirty Deeds: On the Fringe of Lunacy.” This is a reference to Dean Ambrose, whose nickname was The Lunatic Fringe and whose finisher was known as Dirty Deeds. He is no longer in the series, as he left the WWE.

You can see this box, along with other details about the game, in the video below (the box is featured first in the video).

Useful Settings Hints

Assist Mode chooses strikes and grapples automatically based on the situation, letting you focus on your timing and other parts of the gameplay. If you’re having trouble, you can turn this on in the options to help you get used to playing.

Another setting found in the options determines how the Submission Mini-Game is played. If you don’t like the default setting, which requires you to rotate the right stick, you can change it to use buttons instead.

2029 Magazines Easter Eggs

If you check out the backstage office during the highlight reel, you can see a magazine on the desk that mentions a WWE 2K20 demo, but when you look at the side of the magazine, it is dated July 2029. In the same room, there is a similar magazine from September 2029, one from November 2029, and others that are most likely from 2029 as well.

The video below includes a new way to perform the short hair glitch after the patch, leftover assets, and other details about the game, in addition to showing the magazines (the magazines are featured last in the video).
