Highlights

  • WWE 2K24's Showcase mode is celebrating 40 Years of WrestleMania by reliving iconic matches, but Triple H is noticeably absent from the lineup so far.
  • Triple H's absence is confusing considering his status as a top performer and his involvement in high-profile WrestleMania matches throughout the years.
  • It's possible that the Showcase mode favors more recent WrestleMania events, but Triple H's match against Batista at WrestleMania 35 could be a missed opportunity if it's not included.

WWE 2K24's Showcase of the Immortals mode looks to celebrate 40 Years of WrestleMania by having players relive some of the event's most iconic matches, which makes it strange that Triple H is absent from the lineup so far. WWE 2K24 has not announced all 21 matches that will be featured in the game mode this year, but out of the 18 that have been revealed, the Cerebral Assassin is nowhere to be seen.

Triple H is now a WWE executive and leading the company's creative vision, but he spent decades as one of the company's top performers and biggest stars. Triple H was a fixture of the Attitude Era, serving as WWE's biggest heel and a foil to popular wrestlers like Mick Foley, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and The Rock. Triple H has had many high profile matches at WrestleMania over the years, including multiple main event appearances, so it's understandable that some fans may be confused that he has yet to be confirmed for the game's Showcase mode.

1 WWE 2K24 Showcase Match Will Have to Address the Elephant in the Room

One WWE 2K24 Showcase match is going to have to address the serious controversy plaguing WWE at the moment.

While there are rumors that the Kane vs. Triple H match from WrestleMania 15 might be added to the mix, so far, none of the officially announced WWE 2K24 Showcase mode matches feature him in any capacity. Triple H has multiple big-time matches that would fit in perfectly with WWE 2K24's Showcase of the Immortals mode, like his trilogy of matches against The Undertaker or his one-on-one matches against Batista, John Cena, and Randy Orton that took place at various WrestleManias over the years.

It's unclear why Triple H has so far been left out of the WWE 2K24 Showcase mode, but one possibility is that the mode does seem to favor more recent Mania events. For example, last year's WrestleMania 39 is represented by three matches so far. That being said, Triple H did make an appearance at a relatively recent WrestleMania, defeating Batista in a No Holds Barred Match at WrestleMania 35 that served as HHH's last in-ring WM appearance and Batista's final match.

Even though Batista is no longer part of WWE, he has been confirmed for the WWE 2K24 roster, and so it seems like a missed opportunity if his match with Triple H doesn't make the cut for the game's Showcase mode. In any case, with three matches still yet to be announced, there's always a chance that a Triple H WrestleMania match could still be revealed for the WWE 2K24 Showcase of the Immortals mode, whether it's the Batista bout, the rumored Kane match, or something else entirely.
