WWE 2K19 Universe Mode (Series 2)

Information
Series 2 of WWE 2K19 Universe Mode continues from where Series 1 left off, beginning with a traditional draft between Gore and Perkins. Gore will continue to be Raw's commissioner, while Perkins will continue to run SmackDown as commissioner. The world championships for both brands have been changed, with the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships becoming the SmackDown and Raw Championships respectively. For the time being, the United States and Intercontinental Championships will remain as Raw and SmackDown's secondary titles, though Gore hinted at new championships being introduced as the series progresses.

The Undisputed Women's Championship will remain a joint-branded championship and women will not be drafted in this series, as both Gore and Perkins felt it didn't make sense to keep women on one brand with only one championship to fight for. The Undisputed Tag Team Championship will also remain a joint-branded championship, though Gore and Perkins will draft teams if they see fit. Ricochet carries over his WrestleMania Money in the Bank briefcase which he won in Series 1, though he has until Money in the Bank pay-per-view to cash it in.

As always, undrafted Superstars can appear on both Raw and SmackDown, and sign a contract to become exclusive to a certain show if Gore or Perkins desire. It's unknown as of this writing (April 20, 2019) whether NX3-Star or the NX3-Star Championship will be returning in Series 2, as it wasn't mentioned in the draft. Chris Jericho will remain as the general manager of both Raw and SmackDown, as well as still being an active roster member. Even though Jericho is technically an undrafted Superstar, he does not need to sign a contract to appear on either brand, since he is an authority figure. He will only need to do so if he is relieved of his duties as GM at any time during Series 2.
