The Most Insane Royal Rumble Challenges in WWE 2K

Conquer the Ring: The Craziest Royal Rumble Challenges in WWE 2K

Last updated:

The WWE 2K series has long been the go-to game for wrestling fans who love the thrill of the squared circle. Among its many game modes, the Royal Rumble match stands out as one of the most chaotic and entertaining. However, if you’re looking to test your skills beyond a standard match, numerous insane Royal Rumble challenges can push your abilities to the limit. Whether you’re an experienced player or someone looking for a fresh way to enjoy the game, these challenges will give you a real taste of digital wrestling madness.

1. The Iron Man Challenge – Enter at #1 and Win

One of the most grueling challenges in WWE 2K’s Royal Rumble mode is starting as the first entrant and going all the way to victory. This is easier said than done, as you’ll need to survive against 29 other superstars while managing stamina and avoiding elimination.

Tips for Success:

  • Use counter-heavy superstars like Seth Rollins or AJ Styles.
  • Focus on grapples and reversals rather than striking to preserve stamina.
  • Take advantage of rest periods by rolling under the ropes and staying outside the ring when possible.

Winning from the #1 spot is a true endurance test that only the most skilled WWE 2K players can conquer.

2. The Underdog Challenge – Win as a 60-Rated Superstar

Dominating the Royal Rumble with top-tier wrestlers is one thing, but can you do it with one of the lowest-rated superstars in the game? Playing as someone with a general rating of 60 or below adds an extra layer of difficulty.

How to Overcome the Odds:

  • Stick to the ropes and avoid early eliminations.
  • Target already weakened opponents to conserve energy.
  • Master reversal timing to counter stronger superstars.

This challenge replicates the Cinderella stories of real-life underdogs like Rey Mysterio or Santino Marella in the Royal Rumble.

3. The Big Man Challenge – Eliminate Every Opponent

If you love destruction and dominance, this challenge is for you. Instead of waiting for others to do the dirty work, your goal is to eliminate every single opponent in the match.

Key Strategies:

  • Pick a powerhouse like Brock Lesnar, Braun Strowman, or The Undertaker.
  • Focus on strong Irish whips and power moves near the ropes.
  • Use finishing moves strategically to send opponents flying out.

This challenge will test your endurance and patience while making you feel like an unstoppable force in WWE 2K.

4. The Invisible Man Challenge – No Strikes Allowed

Think you can win a Royal Rumble without throwing a single punch or kick? This challenge requires you to rely solely on grapples, reversals, and environmental tactics to win the match.

How to Make It Work:

  • Utilize Irish whips to send opponents over the ropes.
  • Focus on submission and grapple-based superstars like Daniel Bryan or Bret Hart.
  • Use quick eliminations and reversals to your advantage.

This unique approach forces players to rethink their strategies and adds an element of difficulty to the match.

5. The Blindfold Challenge – Win Without Seeing

For those who want the ultimate test of skill and luck, try playing a Royal Rumble match blindfolded with only audio cues or a friend’s guidance to help.

Execution Plan:

  • Have a friend direct your movements and tell you when to strike or reverse.
  • Memorize button combinations for reversals and grapples.
  • Choose a wrestler with high durability to last longer in the match.

This challenge makes the game unpredictable and absolutely hilarious, especially if you’re playing with friends.
