"Someone Check On Booker" is one of 63 trophies in WWE 2K26, and it asks you to do one specific thing: successfully land Stephanie Vaquer's signature Devil's Kiss move. No difficulty requirement, no special match type — just execute the move and the trophy pops. The tricky part is knowing the exact input sequence, which the game doesn't spell out clearly.
Quick answer: Select Stephanie Vaquer, stand next to a grounded-sitting opponent, flick the right stick up to put them in position, then press Circle (PlayStation) or B (Xbox) with no directional input to perform Devil's Kiss.
Recommended Settings for an Easy Unlock
You can earn this trophy against the AI on any difficulty, so there's no reason to make it harder than it needs to be. Before jumping into a match, head to the Gameplay settings menu and make the following changes:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | Easy |
| Game Speed | Rapid |
| Allow Held Input | On |
| AI Balancing | 0 |
Setting the AI balancing to zero essentially turns your opponent into a punching bag. Combined with Easy difficulty and Rapid game speed, you'll have full control of the match from the opening bell. Save these settings before backing out.
Setting Up the Match
Step 1: Go to Play and select a standard one-on-one Normal Match. The arena doesn't matter — pick whichever you like.
Step 2: Choose Stephanie Vaquer as your wrestler. She's the only character who can perform Devil's Kiss, so no substitutes will work here.
Step 3: Pick any opponent. Lightweight characters tend to go down faster, but it genuinely doesn't matter who stands across the ring. Turn off entrances to save time, then start the match.
How to Perform Devil's Kiss — Input Breakdown
Devil's Kiss is not a standard finisher triggered from the finisher prompt. It's a specific grapple move that requires your opponent to be in a seated position on the mat. Here's the exact sequence:
Step 1: Attack your opponent with strikes or grapples until they're weakened. On Easy difficulty with AI balancing at zero, a few strong strikes should be enough to keep them from countering.
Step 2: When your opponent is standing and dazed near you, flick the right stick up. This initiates a grapple that transitions your opponent into a seated position on the mat.
Step 3: Once the opponent is sitting on the ground, press Circle (on PlayStation) or B (on Xbox) without holding any direction on the left stick. Just a clean, single button press with no directional input. Stephanie Vaquer will perform Devil's Kiss, and the trophy notification should appear immediately.
Common Reasons It Doesn't Trigger
If the move isn't coming out, the issue is almost always one of two things. First, you may be pressing a direction on the left stick at the same time as Circle/B. The input must be a neutral press — no direction whatsoever. Second, the opponent might not actually be in the correct seated position. The right stick flick up is what puts them there; if they're lying flat on their back or standing, the move won't activate. Wait for the seated animation to fully complete before pressing the button.
On rare occasions, the opponent may roll away or recover before you can land the follow-up. If that happens, just knock them down again and repeat the right-stick-up grapple to reset them into the sitting position.
How You Know It Worked
When Devil's Kiss connects, the in-game commentary will call it out — you'll hear the announcers react to the move by name. More importantly, the trophy notification for "Someone Check On Booker" will pop on screen right after the move lands. You don't need to win the match for the trophy to count. Once the notification appears, you're done.
The trophy name itself is a nod to Booker T's memorable reactions on commentary, and it's one of the quicker achievements to knock out in WWE 2K26. With the right settings dialed in, the whole process takes under two minutes from the opening bell.
