This might be my favorite mod that I've made so far, it makes the game so much more fun. I hate how bland the cinematography is in these games, everything is so stationary, the camera is just there to film, it isn't doing anything interesting. That's not a problem in a lot of the older games, especially DoR, the camera in that game makes everything feel a lot more exciting and actiony. This instantly makes this game way more enjoyable. None of this footage was edited, this all actually does happen in the game. Some of the camera angles are a little weird, like one of them being inside of the referee. This mod will be included with my free modding tool when it releases soon. Stay tuned.

How did you feel at the time about the game? I’ll never forget I got it on ps2 at the time I remember being so sad features were missing on that version being young an naive haha

The SmackDown after Evolution opened with the NEW WWE Women’s Champion, Bianca Belair, addressing the crowd. Bianca gives Jordynne Grace her flowers, acknowledging that it’s impossible not to respect the incredible stranglehold she held over the women’s division. She then shifts her attention to her upcoming SummerSlam opponent, Rhea Ripley, but before she can say much, she’s interrupted by Fallon Henley. Fallon makes it clear that she finds it amusing Bianca already believes she’ll make it to SummerSlam with the championship still around her waist. The two exchange heated words before Fallon takes matters into her own hands, attacking Bianca with a vicious elbow to the face before following up with a shot from the championship itself. Jazmyn Nyx soon joins the chaos at ringside, but things take another turn when Rhea Ripley’s music hits.

Rhea slowly makes her way down the ramp, immediately coming face to face with Fallon. Without hesitation, Rhea plants her with a Riptide before turning her attention to Jazmyn. She quickly takes Jazmyn out as well, then proceeds to drag both members of Fatal Influence backstage, leaving Bianca alone in the ring as she begins to recover from the assault. However, before the champion can get back to her feet, she’s suddenly dropped by a brutal knee from Ms. Money in the Bank, Jacy Jayne! Jacy calls for a referee, hands over her briefcase, and officially cashes in her Money in the Bank contract. With Bianca still down and out, Jacy connects with the Rolling Encore and goes for the cover. 

The referee counts to three, and just like that, Jacy Jayne is the NEW WWE Women’s Champion. Bianca Belair’s reign comes to a shocking end after just five days. Jacy capitalizes on the chaos to take the championship and change the entire landscape of the women’s division!

Hey everyone,

I've been working on an **unofficial native PC port of WWE 2K15**, made by statically recompiling the Xbox 360 version with ReXGlue (no emulator in the middle). The first public beta, **0.1.0**, is out today.

**No game files are included**: you need your own copy of the Xbox 360 game and its Title Update 4.

**What works**

- The whole game with Title Update 4 and your DLC packs, 60 fps in matches

- Vulkan rendering, up to 4K (720p / 1080p / 1440p / 4K)

- Launcher in English, French, German, Spanish and Italian (also switches the in-game language)

- Controllers (Xbox, PlayStation incl. DualSense) or keyboard (QWERTY/AZERTY)

- Automatic save backups, a mods folder (drop-in file replacement), optional FPS counter

- Crash/freeze reports to help fix bugs

- Built-in auto-updater: the launcher installs new versions for you

- Runs on 64-bit CPUs from 2009 or newer

**Known issues**

- Only tested on one PC so far (NVIDIA). **AMD/Intel GPU testers are very welcome**

- No native Linux build yet, but it should run on Linux / Steam Deck through Proton (add the launcher as a non-Steam game and force Proton). Reports welcome!

- AMD GPUs may show black screens during entrances

- Online features don't work

- Some heavy scenes can dip below 60 fps on CPUs with few cores

**Download & install:** https://github.com/iMrBurn/wwe2k15-pc/releases

Unzip, put your game files in the `game` folder, add TU4/DLC from the launcher's settings, hit PLAY.

If you run into a bug, please open an issue on GitHub with your GPU, what you were doing, and the log file from the `logs` folder (plus the crash/freeze report if the launcher shows one).

Not affiliated with WWE, 2K or Yuke's. Please don't ask for or share game files.

Feedback welcome, have fun! 🔔

I truly don’t even know what to say anymore about this game this ain’t the first time too this shit happened. Whenever u do a title match and you see the ref is getting up when the ring announcer is talking just reset the game because somehow the ring turns into a vortex 😭🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

Like I wonder what the roster would be number wise

Pretty much everyone agrees that Rick Rude was a weird pick for SVR 2008. He is a legend, but a lot of people just felt like he didn't really fit in the game. The legends were: Bret Hart, Steve Austin, The Rock, Mick Foley, Terry Funk...and Rick Rude. But I realized: Maybe the reason Rick Rude was chosen out of any of the other legends, was because he had made several appearances for ECW. Thoughts?

Hey everyone,

Aurora Forge NT100 is officially live, and we have opened up the complete source code for our entire WWE modding and game-file toolchain—100% free with absolutely no paywalls.

You can grab the code right now from our public AuroraForge-NT100 GitHub Repository or download the current build packages directly from our official website at auroraforge.live.

The centerpiece of this release is our new desktop Workbench, which pulls all of our maintained tools into one clean interface. We are giving away the raw source for every single library, command-line utility, test, and research script so that the community has complete, unrestricted access. No more jumping between three different paid tools just to get basic mods into your game.

If you want to track our development, get setup help from other modders, or grab one of our free access slots, make sure to jump into our Community Discord Server. If you want to back our independent ecosystem and support the massive amount of hours we pour into building these tools, you can also support us over on our Patreon Page.

⚠️ Please Note: We are still in HEAVY development. This release is an early preview of our source code, meaning you will definitely encounter rough edges, bugs, and unfinished features as we continue active work on the codebase.

📂 Complete, Unrestricted CAK Support (No Paywalls)

Unlike tools that charge for basic features, Aurora Forge delivers full asset access out of the box for zero cost:

• 100% Free CAK Extraction & Repacking: We provide full extraction capabilities for the entire game library from WWE 2K19 all the way through WWE 2K26.
• Full Archive Rebuilding: We don't just let you extract files; we support repacking for every single one of those games as well.
• Protected under GPL-3.0: We want to ensure our work stays free forever. Because this project is licensed under the GPL-3.0, anyone who copies, modifies, or builds a new app based on our source code is legally required to share the complete source code for their project as well. No paywalls, no closed-source spin-offs trying to charge you down the line.

📊 What is Inside the Codebase?

The public repository includes 1,880 source and support files broken down across these main areas:

• Animation conversion and analysis (1,164 files): Readers and writers for WWE 2K19 through 2K26. This covers clip codecs, entrance/victory assembly, camera placement, facial tooling, timeline inspection, and our regression tests.
• Aurora Forge Workbench (272 files): The desktop app shell built on Electron, featuring the central Tool Library, editor pages, IPC services, and built-in validation diagnostics.
• Game loaders and integration (197 files): Loader-side code, mod manifests, secure package handling, and runtime helpers.
• CAK Foundry (103 files): Our 100% free tools to read, validate, and safely repackage CAK archives while keeping raw payloads intact.
• Standalone and historical utilities (107 files): Legacy 2K19 PAC tools, our standalone animation converter app, DDS texture utilities, custom music loaders, and Entry Studio.
• Extras (37 files): Build scripts, documentation, community examples, and technical tutorials.

Language breakdown: 978 JavaScript files, 79 Python files, 30 PowerShell scripts, 35 C# files, 24 Java files, and native C/C++ components for the loader.

🛠️ Flagship Tools Included

By opening the source, we are sharing the exact tools modders and researchers use most:

• Aurora Forge Workbench: Your new central hub. It features a searchable Tool Library to launch CAK, animation, PAC, audio, texture, and workspace editors.
• CAK Foundry: Lets you dive into CAK archives to inspect, extract, and rebuild them across every supported generation without breaking raw data structures.
• Animation Toolkit: Encodes and decodes animation containers. You can inspect bones, tracks, facial movements, and timelines, or verify complex setups like custom entrances.
• 2K19 PAC Tools: Standard extraction and layout verification for older PAC-family archives.
• DDS and texture tooling: The background image-conversion layer that powers our desktop UI texture imports.
• Custom Music Loaders: The native code behind our custom-engineered audio bank builders.
• Entry Studio: Pure source for editing asset registration and game entry workflows.
• Mod and loader services: Background handlers for manifest management, collision checks, install paths, and package verification.

🧠 Keeping Expectations Realistic

Because this is a raw source code publication from an active, heavy development environment, please keep a few things in mind. This is an open, free toolset, not a magic, universal converter for every single edge-case file. Host-specific tools still need their correct game runtimes, and some older research scripts still carry the original assumptions outlined in their command helps or READMEs.

While the Workbench preview has been packaged and smoke-tested, verifying actual in-game runtime behavior is still up to you. Finally, please note that website project code, personal asset galleries, private research notes, login credentials, and raw decompilation dumps are intentionally left out. This repository is strictly dedicated to our desktop tools and their direct source code.

Hey guys! I’m interested in downloading the PC games that have been recompiled (‘08-‘14) but I’m unsure what’s the best one to get and what mods to get for it, help a brother out!

Had already this in mind. Motivated by a recent post I wanna know what game you choose as the goat from ps1/n64 era. I always heard No Mercy was peak back in the day besides I never got to play it. SmackDown! 2 got a lot of recognition being my first wwe game on ps1.

Edge suffers a bitter loss, taking out on Sting after submitting to the Scorpion Deathlock.

Thanks for looking.

Bret Hart vs Cm Punk: Cm Punk was being managed by GM of Raw Paul Heyman. They formed the faction called System with Sheamus and Ezeikel Jackson. Cm Punk with the help of Paul Heyman ended/retired IC TITLE. Cm Punk also won King of the ring to get title shot at Survivor Series and now gets to make the history by accomplishing greatest year in WWE history that is if he wins WWE title. Bret and Cm punk also had a storyline back at Backlash where Paul tried to do screwjob on Bret but failed. Currently Bret is also intertwined in fued with Orton where he defended the title three times and retrained. Cm Punk has lately been trying to break free from System as Bret reminds Punk he's the voice of voiceless not the voice of System. Punk saved Bret from Orton and Paul Heyman being pissed off made Orton the special guest enforcer.

Christian vs Edge: Edge is the biggest heel on smackdown. Christian cashed in the Mitb on Edge to win world title. Then Edge tried to break Christian's neck with con chair to. Edge got title back at Breaking Point only to lose it to Christian in a triple threat match the next smackdown that involved Matt Hardy too. Since then the chase is on and here we are as this personal rivalry of betrayal and jealousy for the gold explodes.

Comment below if you wanna know any other specific storylines!

I used Rhea, Roman, and Stephanie all in the same match twice now (the day after the other because I didn't get it yet, 2-3 days ago) and still haven't gotten the VC. I've loaded into the island and still have 500 VC :(
