With the return of 2K Games' WWE series comes the return of one of the most-wanted modes in wrestling game history: GM Mode. In previous installments, the feature allowed players to step into the role of general manager to book shows and try to get better ratings than the other WWE programs. Renamed MyGM, WWE 2K22 attempts to bring back the beloved mode and give it a huge facelift. 2K Games gave us an early look at this mode, and while it is a success in many ways, it left us wanting more.
In WWE 2K22 MyGM, you are tasked with becoming the general manager of Raw, Smackdown, NXT, or NXT UK. You play as Stephanie McMahon, Shane McMahon, William Regal, Sonya DeVille, Adam Pearce, or a created wrestler--the latter option was not available for us during our time with the mode. You and a rival compete by booking your shows to gain a bigger audience.

There are also rivalries between wrestlers that can be built up throughout the weeks. However, you'll have to watch out for the wrestlers' stamina because if it gets too low, they can become injured.
