Hello guys, it's Henry, and I'm here with some exciting news about the future of the WWE 2k16 Universe Mode. If you've been following the series, we just had our first pay per view, Extreme Rules, which saw two titles change hands. Today's announcements will change up the series, and hopefully make it more enjoyable over the long haul.
New PPV Schedule
We begin with the biggest change, the announcement of brand-exclusive pay per views. Extreme Rules was not brand-exclusive, but this schedule will be implemented from now on. Starting from January, here is the new schedule:
January
The road to Wrestlemania begins at the Royal Rumble, as Raw and Smackdown join forces to kick off the new year in style. The Rumble winner will receive the once in a lifetime opportunity to main event the biggest show of the year.
February
The next stop on the road to Wrestlemania is at No Way Out, hosted by Smackdown. This is the last pay per view before.....
March
The granddaddy of them all, the showcase of the immortals, March hosts Wrestlemania! Raw and Smackdown join together once more at the show of shows and the biggest event the Universe Mode has to offer.
April
After Wrestlemania comes the Backlash. A Raw-exclusive pay per view will showcase the fallout of the biggest event of the year. This is the month we're currently are at in Universe Mode, so Raw will lose a pay per view on the first cycle of this schedule.
May
Smackdown is back, and it is time for Judgement Day. As this is the month we are now entering, this will be the first brand-exclusive pay per view of the series.
June
Who will be the King of the Ring? Raw and Smackdown will join forces to attempt to answer that question. It's important to note that the King of the Ring will earn the main event of Summerslam in August.
July
God bless America, as the blue of Smackdown and the stars and stripes collide at the Great American Bash, the last stop before Summerslam.
August
The biggest party of the summer, it's Summerslam! Raw and Smackdown host Summerslam, and the afore mentioned King of the Ring will take on the world champion of his brand in the main event.
September
When Summerslam ends and the lights go out, fear the on-coming Vengeance. Raw plays host to September's big event.
October
The spookiest month of the year opens with No Mercy, a Smackdown exclusive show, which takes place on the first Sunday of the month. At the end of the month is Bad Blood, a Raw exclusive show which ends a crowded month of October.
November
Sometimes all you have to do is survive, and survival will be on the mind of many men and women at the Survivor Series. One of the biggest shows of the year sees Raw and Smackdown join forces yet again.
December
The year and the pay per view schedule ends at the ending of all places, Armageddon. A Raw-exclusive show attempts to end the year with a bang.
Unless stated, every show takes place on the Sunday of Week 4. Some of you may have noticed that there is no mention of NXT anywhere. That's because NXT has it's own exclusive Takeover show, which will take place in the months of March, June, September, and December. When they happen, Takeovers will replace the NXT show on that night, and can occur at any time of the month.
I'm also introducing a brand new show, Main Event, that will take place on Saturday. It's a minor show, and will see only three matches take place, featuring representatives of all three brands.
Also, be sure to check out my Universe Mode champions post, which has been updated to reflect the results of Extreme Rules. I hope you enjoyed and get ready for the next edition of Monday Night Raw, coming your way soon.
