World tour is unbelievably bad

This is my first year trying my faction and omg world tour is bad. I wanted to do it so I can get the personas since I’m more of an exhibition and universe mode person, but these world tours stink. I don’t mind the purple bar in normal matches, but when you’re a 75 ovr trying to 1v2 an 87 and 91 ovr it gets really bad. This stupid backstage brawl against Sheamus and Drew is really getting on my nerves. I try to focus one but it doesn’t matter when you’re being ganged up on and can only reverse one move, they regenerate health more than fast enough to build their finishers up and once they have two you’re done because you can’t reverse more than 2/ 3 moves at a time without the purple bar popping up, which never pops up for them even after countering your signature and 2 finishers. I’ve done NMS on MUT before and the hard challenges can still be beat with good playing. It seems like 2k doesn’t want people to get the rewards they just want them to spend money. Which I get it’s just lame that they lock these characters behind overly difficult game modes in a game you paid for behind the excuse of “personas”. I don’t mind difficulty in a souls game. In a wwe game where I have to play these challenges to unlock the characters for the base game it’s really annoying.
