The YWE Undiscovered CAW Talent Tournament is a Super Show or CPV produced by YWE that debuted in 2016 as the NXTournament. The Undiscovered CAW Talent Tournament is an homage to the Wiki page of the same name. This event is designed to highlight the amazing CAWs outside of YWE and help them receive more exposure, so even if they don't perform well in the tournament, they will have acquired at least one more viewer as other creators hunt for CAWs to use on their shows. But, most significantly, this competition provides an opportunity for contestants to join YWE. The tournament uses the single elimination format and usually composes of 32 competitor, where the two finalists compete on a large YWE CPV. First final took place at Wrestlemania 6 while the final for the next tournament took place at the 2018 Royal Rumble.
Instructions on Participation[]
Joining the tournament[]
The process usually starts with an announcement video from the YWE's Youtube Channel, where Ace (the current president of YWE) announces the coming of a new tournament. After that announcement, to have a chance to be part of the tournament, its important to upload the caw that you want to be in said tournament. Here's a step by step of how it should be done.
Step 1 - Go to the PS4/PS5 Community Creations of the current annual WWE2K game (WWE2K24)
Step 2 - Upload your CAW on CC and put the tags:
- YWE_Verse (Obligatory)
- Undiscovered_Caw_Talent_Tournament (Optional)
- Any tag you want (Optional)
**WARNING! If you don't put the obligatory tag, your CAW won't be selected to the bracket and won't take part in the tournament so please make sure to write the tags correctly.
Recommended[]
We recommend you to put your CAW on cc (Community Creations) has fast as possible or even before the announcement of the tournament, since that could give your CAW a higher chance to be selected.
Its also important to make sure the CAW your uploading doesn't have or require any DLC.
In the tournament[]
Once your CAW is selected for the tournament, it will then be randomly placed on the tournament's bracket. After that, it's pretty much done. If the CAW you selected manages to get in the finals then congratulations. However, if that isn't the case, then don't just give up yet, if the YWE Universe really got impressed by the performance/ look of your CAW then there's a possibility of said CAW joining the roster YWE.
Tournament Placements & Rewards[]
- 4 CAWs will get a chance to join YWE;
- The Winner will Join YWE and be rewarded with a title shot to the championship of their choosing (YWE United States Championship, YWE Hardcore Championship & YWE Intercontinental Championship);
- The Runner Up will also join the roster but won't win any title shot;
- Finally, there are two more extra spots to left for the roster. These will be filled to the two most deserving CAWs in the eyes of the YWEverse, the YWE management and Ace himself.
