 Showdown Improvements

Your feedback fuels our improvements, and we’re excited to share these latest fixes, especially for Showdown since its revamp! Your passion for the game inspires us daily to keep delivering the best WWE mobile experience possible!

• Rank like a Champ: See your true rank loud and clear on the Showdown banner and notoriety bar. Fight to the top!
• Tag Link & Arrow Icon Sync: No more mix-ups! Player and opponent icons now display uniformly in the Showdown pre-match!
• Improved visibility of the Status Penalty icon: When both sides are hit with a Status Penalty, the icon shows up right where it belongs—on the Defensive tab and your opponent’s HP bar. No surprises.
• League Title Pride: Your League Title will now shine in all its glory on the Victory screen. When you win, the world will know it!
• Opponent List Visibility: Notoriety now displays properly, so you can pick your next target with extreme precision!
• Gem Modifier Icons — Front & Center: All Gem Modifier Icons now display correctly in the Rules Restriction section of Showdown events. No more guessing!

Bug Changelog

If a bug’s not on this list, it didn’t make the cut for this update. It’s still in the ring waiting to get wrecked.

• The opponent’s Tag Counter now only triggers in Tag Team matches when there’s an actual tag to make. No more surprise activations.
• Some ineligible Superstars were slipping into the Bonus Tab with a Rules Restriction Boost. That exploit is locked down tighter than a steel cage.
• Posters now disappear properly from the Gear screen when you tap View. Gone means gone.
• We removed the hot tag filter from the Select Superstar section in Scouting Missions. One less distraction.
• That nasty “Connection Error” after a win that drained your HP? Fixed. Matches now end clean.
• 5-digit player ranks were getting sliced in half. Your full rank now displays as it should.
• Hitting “Yes” on the Skip Tutorial popup now actually skips. No more hang-ups.
• Popup banners now scale properly to fit your screen. Hit the X and move on.
• Required Superstar portraits now show correctly in the limited-time tour pre-match screen, loud and clear.
