40 free WWE SmackDown Vs. Raw 2008 trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2008 arrived in November 2007 and was the first game in the series to bring in ECW as a third brand beside Raw and SmackDown. Its roster mixed the champions of the day with a group of Legends, a handful of ECW originals and a wave of newcomers making their video game debuts. This quiz is built around that roster: who made the cut, who was rated best, which faces were new and which veterans came back as Legends. It also covers the cover stars, the handheld-only extras, the fighting styles that changed how every wrestler played, and the modes that replaced the old career and management options. It is written for anyone who sank hours into the game, and for wrestling fans who remember the stars of 2007. Every answer comes with a short explanation.
