January was a more chaotic month than I anticipated going in, which could honestly mean a ton of different things, but I'm talking specifically about my blog. I started working on my "Dynasty by the Bay" series, which sunk thanks to my lack of interest in continuing to play games on Madden 12. Then I did a couple of AEW reviews, that was fun but didn't quite work for me, before I finally returned to my Universe Mode, and that was what stuck. Life never quite works out the way you expect it to, but hey, at least I'm having fun.
What does that mean? Well, for starters, I'm in the process of fully updating my wiki in preparation for Season 6. No guarantees on when that work will be done, but in the meantime, you can check out the roster page to see the updated rosters for all three brands following the "Free Agency Window". It's a brand new idea on my part in an attempt to replace the outdated "WWE Draft" format. Essentially, every wrestler, save for champions, had their contract expire at the end of Season 5, making all of them eligible to sign anywhere they please. I'm happy with the way the rosters ended up, I think there was enough change to keep things fresh and set up a load of interesting new storylines.
The plan is for Season 6 to start soon, likely within the next few days. As always, it will run all the way to WrestleMania V, which I expect should all take place on WWE 2k20. Should I push through all of that, I would then be facing a big choice over the future of the series, since it's not yet known what consoles 2k22 would be releasing on. I don't have a next-gen console, and I doubt I will by the end of the year, so we'll just have to wait and see.
As for anything non-Universe Mode, I have considered continuing my WWE pay-per-view reviews, though with the Network being absorbed into the Peacock streaming service, this is not a great period of time to jump in. If that's something I want to return to, I would likely want to wait until March 18th when the merger goes through. That's too far off to be much of a concern right now, which is why I remain concentrated on my Universe Mode.
