WWE 2K16

There are two methods you can employ to unlock this achievement:

Method A
In WWE Universe Mode - Look at the existing rivalries on the major shows, and decide which Superstar / Diva you want to work with for this achievement.

Wrestle two matches on that superstars show (Raw / Smackdown), make sure one is your scheduled Rivalry Match, but also make sure that you edit a separate match on the show and input your superstar. Play and win your Edited Match and your Rivalry Match. Skip through to your next show. I manually skipped through each show monitoring whether my chosen superstar was scheduled in any other matches. You won't need to do this if your chosen Superstar is only assigned to one brand.

Rinse and repeat the above paragraph and you will unlock the achievement once both Momentum and Hot Streak have reached 10 weeks.

Momentum is earned by winning two matches in a week. This is why you win your Rivalry Match and also edit your Superstar into an additional match.

Hot Streak is earned by winning a Rivalry Match in a week. This part is key and that is why you must ensure your superstar is in a rivalry before you begin.

It is probably recommended that you play with Method A because there are plenty of other achievements you can pop along the way:

• Leave Me Alone! 15G - WWE Universe - Inflict a critical injury status effect on an opponent in a match

• The Celtic Warrior 15G - WWE Universe - Have a superstar completely recover from an injury

• Universe Master 30G - WWE Universe - Play and win 50 matches

• Matchmaker 15G - Win in 20 match variations (Single play)

See the other achievement guides before you begin so you have more guidance on how to unlock those.

Matchmaker is progressing for me by playing different match types in WWE Universe mode. Remember to explore different match types with your weekly edited match. DO NOT edit your Rivalry Match type as this will remove the Rivalry functionality from the match, and therefore you won't progress your Hot Streak stats.


Alternatively there is Method B

Method B
This is how I actually unlocked this achievement after losing patience. Reset WWE Universe and go to Edit Calendar, select Raw and remove a bunch of the good wrestlers (86 Overall or above), but leave three main event Superstars with a strong overall. I left Seth Rollins as a priority because he is the WWE World Heavyweight Champion and Raw needs a major champion.

Now create three Long Rivalries, One on One, and use one of your big superstars versus a very weak superstar in each of those three Rivalry slots for Raw.

Now go to Calendar and skip all the way to Wrestlemania. Guaranteed this achievement will pop, not just by chance. Rinse and repeat the whole Method B process if - for some reason - this doesn't pop for you on the first attempt.


Conclusion
So those are the two options! One method is much more long winded but enables you to pop several achievements along the way. Otherwise this achievement can be unlocked very quickly and simply by simulating WWE Universe Mode.

Remember to snap your Achievements app to check if this has popped. I don't know about anyone else - but my Xbox One is very inconsistent with achievements literally 'popping'. It's one of the biggest disappointments about the achievements on Xbox One and I hope they fix it. But still there is so much to love about unlocking achievements!

Remember to leave a 'thumbs up' if my guide has helped you with the options you have for unlocking this achievement!

Honestly, got this just simming to WrestleMania to go for the Sting vs UT achievement.

While I've heard you can get this achievement while simming to Wrestlemania, I've tried that a few times and it never worked for me. So I'll just tell you how I'm doing it. It's better to use multiple feuds at once because any number of these can go wrong. You could forget a certain wrestler is in a feud and have him lose. You sim his non-rivalry match and he loses. Or you lose the rivalry altogether. I currently have Ryback in a rivalry with British Bulldog, which has lasted almost two months but they've never actually faced each other in a rivalry match.

That said, to do this one wrestler needs stacks of ten for Momentum and Hot Streak. You can find the icons for the statuses by going to Customize Universe, Edit Superstar, select a superstar and then Status Effects.

Here are the definitions of the two:

Momentum
DETAILS: The Competitor becomes energized from a burst of momentum, increasing Momentum and defensive Attributes by 1. Stacks up to 10 times.
TRIGGER CONDITIONS: Applied each time the competitor wins two consecutive matches.

Hot Streak
DETAILS: The competitor becomes encouraged after a big victory, increasing all attributes by 1. Stacks up to 10 times.
TRIGGER CONDITION: Applied each time the competitor wins the conclusive match of a rivalry.

Here's what this means: The wrestler must be in a rivalry and win at least 10 rivalry matches. However, the Momentum only goes up once every other match. Therefore, best way to get the achievement is to have the Superstar wrestle twice per week, making sure one of those matches is a rivalry match. Obviously, the wrestler needs to win every match while you're after the achievement.

If you forget to have a wrestler fight twice a week and let the Hot Streak stack get to ten but have his Momentum stacks stuck on 6 you can put him in several matches on the same card. That's what I did. I had Big Show at a Momentum stack of 6 and Hot Streak stack of 9, so I put him in several matches before his final rivalry match. He had six total matches (including his rivalry match) so his Momentum stacks shot up to 9 when he reached 10 stacks with his Hot Streak. I then put him in a couple more matches during the week to get the achievement.

You can get this achievement while also going after:


I had already critically injured "Stone Cold" Steve Austin when I was in the middle of this achievement. The show after I got it I also got The Celtic Warrior.
