In brief
AI summaryIn March 2022, WWE 2K22 added Superstar Mode, which lets you choose one superstar in a Universe Mode save and control only that wrestler while the game books the shows.
To customize WWE 2K22 Superstar Mode, start a new Universe Mode save and download shows such as AEW Dynamite and AEW Rampage from Community Creations, plus the roster and championships separately.
WWE 2K22 needs at least one Major Show, so deleting shows only works once a show with proper championships is set up; the process takes patience.

If you are new to the WWE 2K series, it may be surprising to see that opponents in the game come from footage that was never part of WWE, but that is the joy of Community Creations. Other content creators will make custom superstars, titles, arenas and entire shows, and with this year's addition of Cross-Platform Community Creations, they will be more accessible to players than ever. You can always have a match here or there, but Universe Mode lets players basically build a company from scratch and stay in full control by editing shows, championships and every little detail.
This year they added Superstar Mode, which lets you choose a specific superstar in a given Universe Mode save and change what the game books on the shows while you control only that one wrestler. When you create a Universe Mode save, if you normally choose Superstar Mode, it defaults to the current WWE settings, but if you want a more unique experience, there is a way. Universe Mode has a setting that actively lets you switch between Classic Mode and Superstar Mode, so you can create a carefully curated save with customized shows, roster, championships and more, and then switch to Superstar Mode with the character you choose. So how do you play WWE 2K22 Superstar Mode? Let's take a look together!
How Do You Play WWE 2K22 Superstar Mode? (2022)
One of the first things you will notice is that this will not be a quick process, and having a setup like this in WWE 2K22 may take some time. First you will need to start a new Universe Mode save, and from there you need to set up your shows. High-rated options for AEW Dynamite and AEW Rampage are already available under Shows in Community Creations, but you will need a few more pieces to finish this puzzle.
Downloaded shows do not come with the required roster or championships; you will need to download both separately to use them. You will also notice that not all uploaded creations are equal, with some missing custom renders or move sets, and depending on how accurate you want things to be, you may need to make your own edits. A common issue you may run into while setting up your shows is that when deleting existing shows, even though you have probably set up AEW Dynamite or AEW Rampage, you cannot delete one because you need at least one Major Show. This seems to be tied to Championships: since one of those shows has titles properly associated with it, it lets us delete the existing WWE shows and continue customizing things.
The other thing you need for this task is patience, both for the steps you will take to fine-tune everything and for the content creators who keep uploading quality creations for WWE 2K22. If you have trouble finding something specific, try variations of possible keywords, or search for the creators on Twitter or YouTube, where you can find more details on how to find their various works.
