Being a General Manager means that sometimes, you’ll need to make a tough decision. Other times, a card can do it for you. In WWE 2K24, at least. So, let’s take a look at all Power Cards and what they do in WWE 2K24 MyGM.
What Are Power Cards?
There are many Power Cards to choose from in WWE 2K24, but the gist is that they’re here to help. They’re a way to aid your show while hurting the competition. Well, when you’re using them, that is.
Sometimes, they’ll give your show a ratings boost for the week. Other times, they’ll prohibit another show’s champion from appearing. But be careful! These cards can also be used against you at any time.
GM-Specific Power Cards
WWE 2K has added four more GMs to the mix this year, bringing the total to 12 when you include the Custom Superstar option. Each GM has its calling card, as it were, with each holding a unique ability.

Brand-Specific Power Cards
Just as not all GM-specific Power Cards are created equal, the same can be said for the Brand-specific cards too.
| Brand | Power Card | Ability |
| SmackDown | Birth of Legends | Six Random Superstars on your roster will have their Popularity increased by six. |
| Raw | This Is War | Select an opposing Brand to have three randomly selected Superstars that cannot be booked in Matches next week. (Cannot be used the week before a PLE – Premium Live Event – or in Week 25) |

How to Earn Power Cards
There are various ways to earn Power Cards, but it all essentially boils down to the same thing. The better you are, the more you will earn. Players can receive these cards by completing Season Challenges and weekly Commissioner Goals as well as by purchasing them in the Store.
However, only three Power Cards are made available for purchase each week. Additionally, they are selected at random. As for Commissioner Goals, completing them isn’t always going to be worth the reward. Sometimes, you may be asked to keep your most popular Superstar off that week’s show. There will be many instances when you’ve got to weigh the risks and potential rewards.
At the end of the day, it’s all about striking the right balance. You’ll have to mix and match. Time your purchases. But if you play your cards right, you’ll be headed to the Hall of Fame in no time. That’s everything you need to know about Power Cards and what they do in WWE 2K24 MyGM. The rest is up to you.
