 Other than the season mode , every game features an exhibition mode , where different professional wrestling match types are available . Basic matches included in every game are " one @-@ on @-@ one " matches , where a player chooses one superstar to wrestle another bot operated or human operated superstar , or tag team matches , where a pair of superstars team together to face another team . These basic matches may also expand into six @-@ man tag team matches or non @-@ elimination type matches , which include four or more superstars . Besides basic matches , hardcore based matches are also included , such as the Steel Cage match , which has been included in every game , the Ladder match , the Elimination Chamber , which was first included with the release of WWE SmackDown ! Here Comes the Pain , and ECW Extreme Rules matches , which is basic hardcore wrestling based on the ECW brand of WWE ( which first appeared with the release of WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 ) . Also included in every game is the Royal Rumble match , which is based on WWE 's actual Royal Rumble match , in which a player chooses to compete as one superstar , and must wrestle against twenty @-@ nine other superstars . Two recently added matches are the Championship Scramble introduced in the 2010 game and the " I Quit " match from WWE ' 13 . In WWE ' 13 the ' special referee ' match type ( which hadn 't been seen since Smackdown vs. Raw 2007 ) made its return to the series . The exhibition mode was renamed " Play " in SmackDown vs. Raw 2010 to WWE 2K14 and renamed Exhibition in WWE 2K15 before returning as Play mode in WWE 2K16 .
