** The Lock, the protagonist of ''2K23'' [=MyRise=] mode is also one of the most hated protagonists in all of the [=MyRise=] modes as he is often seen as a very unlikable protagonist even if you try to play him as a heel. This is due to him being an asshole towards everyone except his mentor and even at his kindest dialogue has him in a condescending tone. This is especially in contrast towards his female counterpart LJ, one of the most popular female protagonists who has a much more interesting personality and backstory and even if playing her as a heel, has much more depths compared to The Lock who is very one dimensional.

* TheScrappy: The protagonists of ''WWE 2K20's'' [=MyCareer=] mode Tre and Red are pretty much universally loathed by fans. Tre is disliked for being an [[LoserProtagonist incompetent doofus]] throughout the entire story and basically being a BumblingSidekick to Red, who many have called a "Mary Sue" due to her basically being better than [[StrawLoser Tre]] in every way when it comes to wrestling as well as the amount of CharacterShilling and successes she receives compared to him. Red also gets a lot of flak for [[spoiler: lying to Tre about his dead parents in order to manipulate him into joining her in a wrestling career, and still being treated as a good person for it.]] This is in stark contrast to ''2K19's'' protagonist Buzz who, while still a bit of a goof at times, is generally likeable and far more believable as a hero.

** Also from 2K24, an achievement references a famous moment from Cody Rhodes' 2018 Starrcast panel appearances. [[spoiler:Performing a fast count as a guest referee gets you the achievement "Where's that referee??", a memetic line attributed to Ted Dibiase Jr. after he, Rhodes, Wade Barrett, Ezekiel Jackson, Daniel Bryan, and Sin Cara botched the finish to a 6-man tag match match.]]

** There are those who wrongfully believe that THQ were the developers for ''WWE 2K'' starting with ''Smackdown!''. They were actually the publishers up until ''WWE 2K14''. Its actually Yuke's who had been developing the games since its conception with Visual Concepts assisting them on occasion during the 2K era up until Yuke's split from 2K in 2019 and Visual Concepts are now the sole developers from ''2K20'' onward.
