HEY GUYS I MAY HAVE FOUND A SOLUTION?! I had the same glitch where all the power ups had unlocked before I even reached the point where you get Thunderstorm, but I noticed that even though the ability is unlocked for everyone it has not been upgraded to its max on everyone.

So I went into Billy Higgins power ups page, upgraded Thunderstorm from level 2 to level 3 and the achievement popped!!! Did this just a minute ago, so I would say go to one of the characters you haven't fully upgraded and give it a shot.

For whatever reason this match feels like a crazy difficulty spike compared to previous matches. As per usual after complaining I'm sure I'll unlock it next try but this match is kicking my ass!

Edit: Got it this morning, changed my strategy from focusing mainly on Baron Corbin to Jeff Hardy and it helped immensely. Two finishers to Jeff and it didn't even give him the option to kick out, thankfully at the time The Miz had Corbin tied up so all went smoothly.

FYI, this glitched on me... i bought a level 3 upgrade on my char before reaching the point in the story and it auto unlocked, not giving me the achievement. Playing the match does nothing if this happens. I may need to delete my save and play from scratch

I played campaign for a while, got bored and decided to do the gauntlet achievement. Changed a few settings, went on to get the achievement, then went back to campaign and all the special moves had been unlocked! I don't know if I can even get this now! This game is broken!

Same for me. Glitched early on while playing the campaign mode. Never bought any upgrades. Should I delete save data and start over or will it eventually unlock?

Looks like I've hit the same glitch as above with configuring match rewards in the campaign. What a trash game, at least I didn't waste any money on it

I didn't realize that something was wrong at first. After my 3rd or 4th fight I received a "configuration error" (whatever the hell that means). I didn't receive any reward for the match but from then on I had access to every single ability in the game all at tier 3.

I've tried completely wiping my data but it didn't work. My entire campaign was wiped but I still start with every ability maxed (campaign progress 15 of X) and my in-game currency I earned is still there.

This thunderstorm glitch is completely random. I played almost 3 hours of the game today and went to sleep. When I woke up and booted the game up again, every single skill was there. I didn't buy anything, but the game still glitched for me. I suggest doing the entire WrestleMania in one sitting to avoid this.

Just to confirm what BIG SH0RTY mentioned (Thanks!)- This has worked for me as well so I would recommend people try that first ^

I had the glitch so I’ve set myself to offline on Xbox, deleted my local save and loaded it up. I have a fresh campaign with no abilities to try again now.

Massive waste of time I had the other 950/1000 in 5-6 hours

Big shorty solution worked for me too. All my power ups were unlocked when I first started the game but thankfully they were all level 2 so I upgraded thunderstorm to 3 and unlocked the achievement

My game glitched on the 2nd match of the campaign but luckily I was able to follow Big Sh0rty's advice and unlock it by upgrading the skill on Billy Higgins.

If anybody has all of the powers fully upgraded on all the wrestlers then it might be worth creating a wrestler and upgrading the skill on them to see if that works. (No idea if it will but following the above logic it's worth a shot!)

BIG SH0RTY Thanks.. it worked for me
It’s a bit hard to find the place to upgrade. You have to go to Superstars menu, select a character you already have, press x and upgrade the last one power up thunderstorm.

BIG SHORTY wont' work for me because I was already at level 3 like a lot of you. I decided to delete and try again, but it kept syncing up and giving everything back again. On a longshot I decided to do it all offline. Then I unlocked it and got online again. I didn't think it worked because nothing happened and it all synced up again. But after a minutes in a different game it randomly popped. Sucks to play again, but better than nothing

Mine still hasn’t popped after trying that Puppy but I’m hoping it’ll come through today. The campaign is easily the worst part too, why would I want to play as random people...

EDIT - Just popped, deleted forever

We all saw the post but it doesnt help. It basically says there is a game breaking bug and you tried everything and still nothing. Doesnt say what you should do to avoid it. WARNING... Do this not this.. Thats a warning. It says hey this might happen to you and if it does youre fucked.

If like me your game glitches and all of your abilities are maxed across all of your characters here's what you do.

-Delete your save data (from the cloud and console)
-Go offline and launch the game*
-Play through the campaign (Nearly every match I won via ring out so matches usually only lasted like 30-45 seconds)
-Claim the Thunderstorm power-up while you're still offline. Once that is done you can reconnect to your internet.

From my experience and others the achievements didn't pop for about 5-10 minutes. I was on a different game when the achievement popped.

*when I tried to launch the game offline for whatever reason it wouldn't launch. Something about not owning the game. so I popped online for a sec, launched the game, and quickly went back offline.

Full credit goes to IrritatedPuppy for this solution.

Feel free to comment if you have any questions and i'll do my best to answer.
And as always, if you downvote me for no reason, your mom's a Hobgoblin.

@TuiLy that's not entirely correct.
When you wipe your save, your campaign progress is gone. When you resync online, the glitch comes back into play and will force unlock every single ability again at max rank. But because you technically have met the requirements offline, it pops the achievement presumably after it re-syncs to the cloud which takes 5-10 minutes.

Another way of making sure the game doesn't glitch is perhaps, do all the campaign matches until Baron Corban & Jeff Hardy Tornado Tag match in one sitting, it's the first side match after you beat the Miz in Detroit with Disruptor (which is the first match of that chapter).

After having redone the campaign while being offline and having achieved your goals. Go Online, and go back to the menu and come back to campaign. The server will take your new campaign into account.

When passing the company you need to unlock the ability, which is located in Detroit at the end of the first branch down
