Tyler's heart sank. He realized that using the cheat had likely triggered some kind of anti-cheat mechanism in the game. He tried to play offline, but even that was a struggle, with the game constantly crashing or freezing.
The website claimed that their cheat would give Tyler access to every character, including the likes of John Cena, The Rock, and even some of the game's most elusive legends like Andre the Giant. The site asked for a small payment in exchange for the cheat code, and Tyler, eager to get to the bottom of things, handed over the cash.
The game's default roster was impressive, but Tyler knew that there were many more legends and current superstars that he wanted to play as. He began to search online for a way to unlock all the characters, and that's when he stumbled upon a shady website offering a "cheat" to unlock every single wrestler in the game.
With newfound hope, Tyler followed the instructions and managed to remove the cheat from his game. He restarted WWE 2K23, and to his relief, the game booted up normally. He was once again able to play online, and his roster was intact.
