WWE 2K23 features many game modes, including the Showcase mode, which takes you on John Cena's career journey. Players can unlock new playable characters by playing as different wrestlers and completing specific objectives. To unlock Edge’06, you must complete "A Revolutionary Cashing In," the eighth match in Showcase mode.
The objectives of the match are presented and voiced by John Cena, and you will be watching a lot of real-life footage of the events from his career. The match revolves around the New Year’s Revolution event of 2006.
Unlock Edge '06 in WWE 2K23 by completing the "A Revolutionary Cashing In" match in Showcase mode
WWE 2K23’s Showcase mode is extensive and comprises sixteen matches for you. To unlock Edge ‘06, you must reach the eighth match and complete all the objectives presented on screen from John Cena’s perspective but highlight the requirements prominently.
It would be best if you satisfied the following conditions to defeat John Cena in this match:
- The first objective requires you to execute two Heavy Combos on John Cena. You can pause the match to refer to Edge’s combo button configuration. You can then execute two Heavy Combo attacks but make sure you and John Cena are in the ring.
- The second and third condition is to execute a Spear move on John Cena. You can initiate a Spear once the Finisher Meter is full (minimum one bar filled) and you and John Cena are in the ring. You can press R2 along with the X button (on PlayStation consoles) while charging/running at John Cena to hit him with a Spear move.
- The final condition is to defeat John Cena with a Pin. To get a successful three-count Pin on John Cena, you must deplete his health or get him stunned (John Cena begins to wobble when he is stunned).
Apart from unlocking Edge ‘06, you also obtain three other rewards: New Year’s Revolution 06 Arena, John Cena ‘06, and Lita ‘06 in New Year’s Revolution outfit. You can refer to this article covering all Showcase mode unlockables in WWE 2K23.
If you are inclined to dial up the brutality, you can even turn the blood effects on and create a First Blood match. Apart from First Blood, there are many accessibility options you can alter in the game, like changing the Pin system. You can choose between a Timed or a Rapid Pin system according to your preferences.
