Thankfully, none of the objectives are too difficult on their own, making this more a test of endurance than anything else. As well as Undertaker ‘03, completing all 15 objectives will unlock the Vengeance ‘03 Arena as well as John Cena’s Vengeance 2003 attire, though the latter won’t become available until afterWWE 2K23players have defeated Brock Lesnar in Match 12 of Showcase Mode and unlocked John Cena ‘03.
Objective
Requirement
Undertaker was furious with me, and he started off by dealing out a quick beating in the ring for some easy damage!
Deal enough damage to fill the meter.
Before I knew it, though, Undertaker was using a Hammer Throw to send me over the top rope and to the floor!
Grab Cena and then press and hold the grab button while pointing the left analog stick toward the ropes to Irish Whip him out of the ring.

When I was down on the floor at ringside, I felt Undertaker Grab at me, looking to dish out more punishment!
Knock Cena down and then press the Circle (PlayStation) or B (Xbox) button while standing beside him.
When I got back in the ring, Undertaker waited on the apron, setting me up for a big Apron Guillotine Drop!
Use R1 (PlayStation) or RB (Xbox) to climb onto the apron. Once Cena is back in the ring, wait for him to approach and then press the Circle (PlayStation) or B (Xbox) button.
He was landing powerful strikes on me, going to his Body Blow & Uppercut two (2) times!
Point the left analog stick toward Cena while he is standing and then press the X (PlayStation) or A (Xbox) button to perform Body Blow & Uppercut, then rinse and repeat to complete the objective.
He was also able to Dodge/Block three of my attempts at offense!
Dodge or block three attacks. The easiest way to do this is by knocking Cena down and then picking him straight back up. While he is still dazed, keep pressing R1 (PlayStation) or RB (Xbox) to dodge. Even though Cena isn’t actually attacking, this will still count toward the total.
In the ring, Undertaker would hit me with his Signature Old School to show class was in session!
Fill the Signature meter and then press R2 + Square (PlayStation) or RT + X (Xbox) while Cena is dazed.
He could sense the end was near, Undertaker went for his Chokeslam Signature in the ring!
Fill the Signature meter and then hold R2 + Square (PlayStation) or RT + X (Xbox) while Cena is dazed. It is important to hold the face button here rather than just tap it, otherwise, Undertaker will perform Old School instead.
I finally had hurt Undertaker, but I couldn’t keep the advantage! His defense allowed him to Dodge/Reverse three more of my attacks!
Just like last time, knock Cena down and pick him back up while he’s still groggy. Using R1 (PlayStation) or RB (Xbox) to dodge while he is standing still will still count toward the total.
Then he locked me up in a submission hold, looking to wear me down even further!
While Cena is down press R2 + Circle (PlayStation) or RT + B (Xbox) to perform any submission move.
I tried something to get back into it, but it was like he knew what I was going to do! He was able to Break a Grapple/Combo so easily!
Either press Triangle (PlayStation) or Y (Xbox) when prompted during one of Cena’s melee combos or press Circle (PlayStation) or B (Xbox) when prompted to break one of his grapples.
All of a sudden, Undertaker sent me into the corner, and he looked to unload a Front Heavy Corner Attack on me!
Throw Cena into one of the corners using an Irish Whip and then press X (PlayStation) or A (Xbox) while standing in front of him.
I was back in control, but Undertaker’s two (2) Flip Clotheslines stopped me in my tracks!
Run toward Cena using the left analog stick and L2 (PlayStation) or LT (Xbox). Just before making contact, press the X (PlayStation) or A (Xbox) button, then rinse and repeat.
Undertaker was pushing me to my limit! He was looking to deal Damage to me, any way he could!
Once again, he has me in the corner. I saw the Front Light Corner Attack he was attempting… Maybe I could chain something together…
Throw Cena into one of the corners using an Irish Whip and then press Square (PlayStation) or X (Xbox) while standing in front of him.
