Last updated:

WWE 2K offers players an incredible level of customization, allowing them to shape their superstars down to the finest details. One of the most exciting features is the ability to create a custom entrance. A well-crafted entrance not only enhances immersion but also adds personality and flair to your superstar. If you’re wondering how to create the perfect custom entrance in WWE 2K, this guide will take you through all the essential steps.

Step 1: Access the Entrance Creation Suite

Before you can start customizing your entrance, you need to navigate to the right menu in WWE 2K. Follow these steps:

  • From the main menu, go to Creations.
  • Select Entrance.
  • Choose Superstar and pick the wrestler you want to customize.
  • If you are creating a new wrestler, select Custom Superstar to modify their entrance from scratch.

Once inside the creation suite, you’ll have access to various customization options, from motion and music to pyrotechnics and camera angles.

Step 2: Choose the Right Motion

The motion of your entrance sets the tone for your character. WWE 2K provides hundreds of pre-set motions, including:

  • Generic Motions – Basic animations suitable for various wrestler types.
  • Superstar Motions – Signature entrances from real WWE superstars.
  • Legendary Motions – Classic animations from past legends.
  • Customizable Motions – Unique movements that can be adjusted for a personal touch.

Pick a motion that aligns with your character’s persona. A powerhouse may want a slow, intimidating entrance, while a high-flyer might choose a more energetic and flashy motion.

Step 3: Select Entrance Music & Video

A great entrance theme is crucial in defining your superstar. WWE 2K allows you to:

  • Select a theme from the in-game soundtrack.
  • Use a real superstar’s entrance music.
  • Upload custom music if supported by the game (varies by platform).
  • Match the entrance video with the song’s vibe.

Syncing your motion with the music ensures a smooth, cinematic entrance.

Step 4: Customize Lighting and Special Effects

The right effects can make your entrance stand out. WWE 2K offers:

  • Pyrotechnics: Fireworks and explosions to create a dramatic effect.
  • Lighting Options: Strobe lights, colored spotlights, and flashing effects.
  • Fog Machines: Perfect for supernatural or mysterious characters.
  • Camera Angles: Adjust cinematic shots to highlight different aspects of the entrance.

Experiment with different combinations to make the entrance feel unique and memorable.

Step 5: Fine-Tune the Timing

To create a seamless entrance, pay attention to timing. Make sure:

  • The pyrotechnics sync with beat drops in the music.
  • Lighting changes occur at the right moments.
  • Camera cuts enhance dramatic movements.
  • The general pacing matches the character’s personality.

Using WWE 2K’s preview mode will help refine your entrance before finalizing it.

Bonus Tips for a Flawless Custom Entrance

To truly perfect your entrance, keep these extra tips in mind:

  • Stay true to your character’s gimmick. A menacing heel should have a darker, slow-paced entrance, while a face might have a high-energy, crowd-pleasing introduction.
  • Match the attire with the entrance theme. If your wrestler wears elaborate gear, ensure that it complements the lighting and effects.
  • Keep it unique. Avoid generic options and blend different elements to make your entrance stand out.
  • Use entrance props. Some superstars enter with specific props like jackets, belts, or accessories that enhance their persona.
  • Adjust entrances for different match types. Certain entrances work better for specific events, such as pay-per-view matches, where more dramatic effects may be fitting.
