WWE SuperCard Reveals New Mode, Tiers, and Cards for Season 8

WWE has its own quirks when it comes to booking and storytelling, most of which can be traced back to the personal preferences of Vince McMahon. Nearly all of McMahon's booking habits have their outspoken defenders and critics, but there's one that is very rarely publicly defended on social media or in interviews — the inclination to have a wrestler lose whenever they're competing in their hometown. Other wrestling promotions, most notably AEW, tend to take things the complete opposite direction by celebrating a wrestler whenever they're in front of their hometown or home-state crowd (Britt Baker in Pittsburgh, CM Punk in Chicago, MJF on Long Island, Cody Rhodes in Atlanta, etc.). So why does McMahon do this?

As for his free-agent status, Rhodes never said anything directly, but at one point he brought up a contract Tony Khan had sent his way for a match and he added, "Maybe it's not the contract I wanted."

The release date of WWE 2K22 is set for March 11th with early access editions available for March 8th.

News broke on Monday that Cody Rhodes, current TNT Champion and one of AEW's executive vice presidents, was working without a contract with All Elite and was technically a free agent. Both Rhodes and AEW were quiet on the matter when the news first broke, but "The American Nightmare" popped up on Tuesday with a message for his texting community "Bet on yourself, always." Rhodes is scheduled to appear on AEW Dynamite this week for the first time since missing his Battle of the Belts title defense due to COVID-19. In his absence, Sammy Guevera won the interim TNT Championship and defended the title against Daniel Garcia last week.
