As mentioned, you must win the 30-person Turmoil Gauntlet Match, but there's a twist. You must win at the Legend Difficulty level. This adds a significant level of difficulty, as opponents in this mode react aggressively and proficiently block your moves, heightening the chances of defeat once you step into the ring.

However, there's a strategic shortcut to claim victory. Utilizing submission moves offers an easier path to tap each opponent out. To achieve this, you must first weaken your enemies until their health bar turns red.

After that, you must execute a submission move to trigger a mini-game, where you must hold down the required action button to force your opponent to submit. Though this process may seem complex, don't worry, as there are specific settings you can adjust to tilt the odds in your favor.

Now, as the match begins, focus on submitting your opponent. You can execute a standard submission by simply grabbing them.

This will initiate a mini-submission game where you must hold the specified button to fill the submission meter and force your opponent to tap out.

Due to the earlier adjustments, this mini-game will be easily completed, requiring minimal effort. Simply hold the required action button, and your opponent will tap out effortlessly.

Use the same strategy against other wrestlers, and ultimately, you will win the match and earn the Gold Medal Sprinter trophy in WWE 2K24.
