WWE 2K23‘s unlockable roster has always been a hot discussion amongst long-time fans of 2K’s wrestling series, and with the new MyRise custom wrestler story mode locking characters like Ezekiel behind specific progression systems, it’s no wonder players are wondering how to unlock Elias’ so-called “brother”.
Thankfully players won’t need to wait or pay for any DLC to grab Ezekiel, they’ll just need to buddy up with John Cena’s Faction and put some work in to unlock the “Showcase of the Immorals” mission.
WWE 2K23: How to unlock Ezekiel as a playable character
The steps required to unlock Ezekiel in WWE 2K23 are as follows:
- Open MyRise mode.
- Complete enough Loyalty missions to unlock John Cena’s Faction.
- Check Social Media’s “Social Feed” tab for Cena’s post about #SmackDown.
- Read Elias and Ezekiel’s responses, then choose “Offer to help Cena”.
- “Showcase of the Immorals” will then be available as a Story Mission.
- Defeat Elias and Ezekiel in a 1v2 Handicap match to unlock Ezekiel.
You’ll know you’ve completed enough Loyalty missions to unlock John Cena as an ally and the “Shadow of the Immorals” mission once the lock symbol is gone from his card in the Allies list.
