M圜areer feels fresh this year, to say the least. Creations from friends can invade a player's M圜areer universe and partake in storylines and backstage, ranging from tag-team partners to rivals and beyond. When starting the mode, players can choose to allow invasions. It's worth mentioning this new-look M圜areer mode isn't necessarily a single-player experience.

Getting to chat with random wrestlers and those in charge of the show makes for a memorable time and adds some WWE flavor to what once used to be a text-only affair. These free-roam opportunities can take place at the Performance Center, NXT, at a pay-per-view or others and add one more layer of realism and immersion to the experience.
