The WWE appears to be moving away from a purely PG-rated TV product and getting more risque with certain subject matters and promos from superstars like The Rock. However, it's still a long way from the Attitude Era which emulated ECW's more chaotic style and brought it to a larger audience. This means that fans rarely get to see blood spilled in a match and as a result, the First Blood Rules matches are a thing of the past. With the following steps, you can create First Blood matches inWWE 2K24 and save it as a permanent match type for all events in exhibition matches and the Universe mode.
