Just like in real life, every match you wrestle in WWE 2K24 will be watched and rated by the audience. This rating is given on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, depending on your performance. It goes without saying that earning a 5-star Match Rating will earn you more VC (Virtual Currency). The only problem is that earning a good rating requires a lot of grinding. To help you with that, I have created this guide.

Here you will learn how to get 5-star Match Ratings in WWE 2K24 Universe Mode and Exhibition matches. Stick around to the end, because I have included some tips from my in-game experience.

Whatever action you perform in a match contributes to the Rating Meter in the upper left corner. This includes hitting your opponent with various moves, using taunts, dodging or dodging an incoming attack, etc. The match can easily be filled with these actions and therefore they slowly fill the Rating Meter. However, if you manage to increase the drama by performing a Signature or Finisher, you can drastically increase your Match Ratings.

I’ve played all the WWE games and trust me, it’s an advantage if you play on Legend Difficulty. In this setting, your AI opponent has a higher chance to hit you back with everything they have in their playbook. They can also Kickout if you hit them with a Finishing Move. This keeps the match going with more drama and memorable moments. You might have to put your ego aside and take a few hits if you want that 5-star Match Rating in WWE 2K24.
