Most wrestlers are unlocked by spending Virtual Currency (VC). This in-game money is slowly gained by completing all sorts of match types in. Each character costs 1,000 VC, for a total of 59,000 VC.

Deluxe Edition owners will instantly gain every one of these wrestlers by using the Supercharger optional item.

Other wrestlers are unlocked by playing through ’s campaign and challenge modes. The amount of characters is less numerous than using VC, but don’t require much grinding or the use of more expensive versions of the game.
