How does magic and superpowers work in WWE?

[Perd]

I’ll be kind and say they play fast and loose. When, in truth, there doesn’t seem to be any rules. But in a hypothetical book of rules, how would they work? There seems to be different classes. Sometimes it’s empatchic. Sometimes it’s hereditary. Other times it seems like you can just choose to have them. What say you?

What's funny is the women's MyRise story in 2K24 directly answers this question.

I have someone I work with that has the memory of a flea. If you don't like the answer she gives, wait a day or two and ask again, you will probably get a different answer. I feel like how magic works in WWE is similar, how it works depends on what day you ask.

If you eat the sponsors products you get the powers. If you don’t, too bad for you

And if that story happened in real life, it’d be the funniest thing ever just to see how everyone reacts to it.

I think it depends on how much mana the magic user inherently has, collected, and expends. Sometimes the power is granted by a stronger magic user.
Like when someone was part of the Wyatt Family they were allowed to use teleport, but lose this ability when they fell out of favor.
Teleport sees to be a rather weak spell. Many people seem to use it.

Stronger spells like lighting blast, and summon rocking horse, and sickness, etc. were only used by the strongest magic users, and not very frequently.
Finn Balor is able to summon a demon, but not too frequently. It must be taxing, otherwise he'd use it every match.
Santino's Cobra was probably magic. I'm not sure if you know this but it was actually a sock puppet and not a real snake, however being struck by the puppet produced the same effect as a venomous snake bite.
The poison mist, is more biological than magical. Some people can produce mist from their mist gland, while others fake it.
Hornswoggle seemed to have access to a pocket dimension.

Clearly that man was going commando and just pulled it out of his pocket.

What a fraud.

I believe that all magic in the WWE Universe comes, in one way or another, from a mystical realm most commonly referred to as Parts Unknown.

I believe that any time the Ultimate Warrior talked about fighting battles in some weird place with skeletons walking around and shit, he was describing Parts Unknown, where he spent an undetermined amount of time conquering and mastering the forces of destrucity, you know, doing Parts Unknown stuff, and his extended exposure to Parts Unknown is why he is canonically likely the most powerful wrestler in the history of the WWE Universe.

I believe that the mysterious Purple Dimension from which Edge was drawing evil magic power in the early days of Judgment Day was also Parts Unknown, though Edge himself may not have realized it.

I believe that all teleportation in wrestling is accomplished by wrestlers moving through sections of Parts Unknown, traversing from one point on Earth to another by passing through Parts Unknown where the geography is different, appearing to be teleportation to us.

I believe that The Fiend (and maybe the Eater of Worlds, if they were different) were evil demons/gods from Parts Unknown, as is The Demon that Finn Balor called upon. Are the voices that only Randy Orton can only hear also from Parts Unknown? UNDETERMINED.

I believe The Undertaker tapped into magic powers from Parts Unknown (which he presumably accessed via a portal opened in Death Valley) to gain power over the dead, making him a zombie wizard. Kane somehow also got powers this way, maybe through that embalming ritual he tried to do to Austin. That's why he had a cape when he debuted, Kane is a Wizard. Paul Bearer is probably also a wizard, a necromancer. Similarly, Kevin Sullivan and The Master tapped into magic powers from Parts Unknown, and the place where they brought Hulk Hogan where he had never been before and where the water was not hot could have been in Parts Unknown (with the above, establishing several things about Parts Unknown: there are skeletons, there are caves, it's VERY purple, water there is NOT HOT but in a recognizably different way than it's not hot in our dimension).

I do not believe that Hulk Hogan or Goldberg have magic powers, they are just the strongest mortals in the WWE Universe. Hulk Hogan is able to tap into a fundamental force of nature in our universe that he named Hulkamania that increases his already peak mortal strength, but it is NOT magical (Warrior himself called it "a force field around him" that Warrior was only beginning to understand, meaning it is a force separate from the magical powers of Parts Unknown) which technically make Hogan a Science Hero.

That probably covers it all.

Not quite. Where does mist fit in with all of this?

In order to explain magic in WWE...you have to make sense of Taker's entire lore.

Have fun.

[King Devitt]

I always appreciated that Wyatt's lore was explained in the manner of a demon possessed him, and Bray Wyatt was merely the vessel it was using.
So he had access to a spooky realm full of spooky realm shit by way of proxy.

With Taker, well, I was a little kid and I didn't care about realism because it was cool as shit.

When Kane came along I was older, but then realized it must be genetic.

Okay - here's a connecting principle between Bray Wyatt and Orton (though his voices predate all of this and could just be undiagnosed paranoid schizophrenia) and Balor's lore. What if, and this is likely something one might only tack on after it's all over, like CHAV as an acronym for "council housed and violent", what if Wyatt and Balor were only vessels of a demon playing them off against one another - Wyatt as the rejected vessel while Balor was "chosen" and becoming more powerful against Wyatt?
