News/Profile

It seems like you're asking about WWE 2K25, the latest installment in the WWE 2K video game series developed by Visual Concepts and published by 2K. Since today is March 10, 2025, we’re right on the cusp of its release, so I’ll give you the most up-to-date rundown based on available information.

WWE 2K25 is the 25th overall game in the WWE video game series and the 11th under the WWE 2K banner, following WWE 2K24. It’s a professional wrestling sports game available on multiple platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. The game comes in three editions:

Standard Edition: Released on March 14, 2025 (just four days from now!), priced at $69.99 for PS5/Xbox Series X|S and $59.99 for PC. Roman Reigns is the cover star. Pre-ordering before March 13 gets you the Wyatt Sicks Pack (featuring Uncle Howdy, Dexter Lumis, Joe Gacy, Erick Rowan, and Nikki Cross) and a digital copy of WWE 2K24.

Deadman Edition: Available since March 7, 2025, for $99.99. This digital-only edition celebrates The Undertaker, including early access (which has already started), the Wyatt Sicks Pack, a Deadman Bonus Pack (two Undertaker MyFACTION cards, a usable urn, and Brother Love as a manager), a Season Pass (five post-launch DLC packs), and 15,000 VC (virtual currency). The Undertaker appears in two versions: his 1990 Survivor Series debut and his 2004 Deadman persona.

Bloodline Edition: Also available since March 7, 2025, for $119.99. This digital-only edition focuses on The Bloodline dynasty, featuring Roman Reigns on the cover alongside Paul Heyman. It includes everything from the Deadman Edition plus a Bloodline Edition Bonus Pack (MyFACTION cards for Roman Reigns and Jey Uso), a Ringside Pass (enhanced Season Pass with boosts and 100,000 VC, totaling 147,500 VC), and a WrestleMania 41 Pack (to be released later in 2025). It emphasizes The Bloodline’s history with playable characters like Jacob Fatu, Yokozuna, Rikishi, Umaga (with manager Armando Alejandro Estrada), and The Rock.The game boasts a roster of over 300 Superstars, Legends, and Hall of Famers, including names like Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Rhea Ripley, and Jade Cargill. New features include intergender wrestling, chain wrestling, barricade diving, and match types like Underground and Bloodline Rules. The Showcase mode, hosted by Paul Heyman, dives into The Bloodline’s legacy, letting players relive or rewrite iconic matches and create dream scenarios.

A standout addition is The Island, an open-world mode exclusive to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, where players explore a WWE-themed environment, complete quests, and customize their MySUPERSTAR. MyGM now supports four-player online multiplayer, and MyFACTION returns with updated card-battle features. MyRISE offers a single, multi-gender storyline blending men’s and women’s divisions.

If you’re looking to play now, the Deadman and Bloodline Editions have been out since March 7, with release times typically at midnight local time (e.g., midnight EST in the US, adjusted for daylight savings). The Standard Edition drops this Friday, March 14, at midnight local time. Pre-orders are still open until March 13 for the bonus perks.

WWE 2K24 Overview:

Release Date: WWE 2K24 was released on March 8, 2024, available on platforms like PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

Key Features and Gameplay:

Showcase of the Immortals: This mode focuses on legendary moments from WrestleMania, allowing players to experience matches from WrestleMania III up to WrestleMania 39. It's highlighted by the inclusion of various real-world arenas, albeit without official names due to legal restrictions. This mode uses a unique technology for seamless transitions between gameplay and live action footage, enhancing the immersive experience.

Creation Suite: The game boasts an advanced creation suite where players can design everything from Superstars to arenas, including new options like Create-A-Referee and Create-A-Sign. This suite offers over 90% new facial animations for greater realism.
Game Modes: Beyond the Showcase, there's MyRISE for career mode, MyFACTION for card-based team building, and MyGM for general manager simulation, with each mode receiving updates and new content.
Visual and Technical Improvements: WWE 2K24 features improved graphics, with better hair physics, more fluid move transitions, and enhancements in camera angles during matches. However, some animations, particularly for top-rope moves, still receive criticism for not being entirely smooth.

Editions:
Standard Edition: Offers the basic game experience.
Deluxe Edition: Includes early access, the season pass, and immediate roster unlocks among other perks.
40 Years of WrestleMania Edition: This comes with everything in the Deluxe Edition plus additional WrestleMania-themed content like special arenas and alternate wrestler outfits.

Community Reception:
On X: There's active engagement with the game, with users sharing custom content, updates on new character models, and gameplay tips. The community seems particularly excited about the depth of customization and the realistic updates to superstars' appearances.

Criticism and Praise: The game has been praised for its improvements in gameplay mechanics, like the chaining of moves and the introduction of super finishers. However, criticism often revolves around still-existent glitches, like unnatural physics in certain animations, suggesting while there's progress, perfection in realism and fluidity is still being pursued.

Pricing and Accessibility:
WWE 2K24 follows the trend of offering multiple editions at different price points, appealing to both casual fans and hardcore gamers who might invest in the higher editions for additional content or early access.

Summary:WWE 2K24 attempts to blend WWE's storied history with modern video game technology, focusing on WrestleMania's legacy while providing a robust platform for creative expression through its creation tools. While it has made strides in improving upon its predecessor, WWE 2K23, it still faces the challenge of perfecting its simulation of wrestling physics and animations, an area where community feedback is both critical and constructive.

Promos Matter In Pro Wrestling

WWE's Karrion Kross Has Developed Into One Of World's Best Over Past Year + ; WWE Creative Offered Time To Shine; Can't Wait For The Netflix Killer Version: Media Man

Mr Kross @realKILLERkross Is A Former Media Man 'Pro Wrestler Of The Month' and 'Sports Entertainer' Of The Month winner and finalist. What some don't know is that Kross would wipe the mat with most of the world's pro wrestlers in an uncontrolled aka real- insert your own word, situation. Wrestler, fighter, MMA and master promo.

Promos In The Who Have Impressed Of Late In Addition To Kross Include: Logan Paul, LA Knight, Paul Heyman, Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Nia Jax, Tiffany Stratton, Liv Morgan, Lexis King and Sol Ruca. Promos are subjective in nature, but these days Karrions are motion picture grade in our view. Netflix Movies, Blumhouse and others surely have an eagle eye on.

Previously known as names such as:

"The White Rabbit"
"The People's Executioner"
"The Devil Of Monterrey"

The WWE Universe should wake up and know him as a man not to mess with. Ala the legendary "Macho Man" Randy Savage, "The cream always rises to the top". Cheers to the worldwide Kross Cult/Kult. So Sayeth.

Promo:

"What are you doing, Woods? What are you doing? No, no, no. Please don’t do that. Do not involve other people in our business. I don’t like that. I don’t appreciate it. Not only that, it defeats the entire purpose of everything I’m trying to do for you. I’m trying to help you stand on your own two feet. I never said, ‘Don’t ever talk to Kofi again,’ or, ‘You can’t visit him on the holidays,’ or, ‘You can never tag with him again.’ All I suggested was that you take a step away from New Day. You had I guess your own interpretation of that. Don’t turn me into the bad guy here. Kofi’s the bad guy. You, I’m suspicious of at this point because all you’re gonna do for those guys is get them severely hurt. I don’t know what you’re trying to do here. Are you trying to replace the New Day? You think these two guys are gonna be the next Big E and Kofi Kingston? No, brother. It doesn’t work that way. This is not going to help you. The only thing that’s going to help you is to learn how to stand on your own two feet and then, you come with me. If you’re not going to do that, well, next Monday, I’m gonna see you, like I always do. When I do, I’m gonna step on your head. Then I’m gonna leave you where I find you, just like I do. Because after all, you beat me once, right? Haha. Sure you did. You beat me where Kofi couldn’t. That’s the confidence we want. I’m telling you right now, that’s never gonna happen again. You understand what I’m trying to tell you? Get rid of these guys, or else. Tick tock" Karrion Kross

SURVIVOR SERIES NEWS: NXT stars debut in PPV main event angle, plus other news from annual PPV - 18th November 2012

-- NXT champion Seth Rollins (formerly Tyler Black), Dean Ambrose, and Roman Reigns debuted on WWE TV by attacking Ryback and preventing him from capturing the WWE Title in the Survivor Series PPV main event.

Rollins, Ambrose, and Reigns were identified by announcer Michael Cole as being from the NXT Developmental system. After they took out Ryback via powerbomb through the Spanish announce table, Punk pinned John Cena, who had received Shell Shock from Ryback before Ryback was taken out by the NXT trio.

-- No titles changed hands during the PPV. In the other top title match, Sheamus beat Big Show via DQ after Show pulled referee Scott Armstrong in the way of a Brogue Kick. Sheamus then delivered a massive beat down to Show using a chair, which likely sets up a World Title re-match at the TLC PPV next month.

-- In the other title matches, Antonio Cesaro retained the U.S. Title over Kofi Kingston and Eve retained the Divas Title over Kaitlyn.

-- In the top Survivor Series elimination match, Dolph Ziggler pinned Randy Orton to be the sole survivor for Team Ziggler over Team Foley. Earlier in the show, WWE teased tension between Orton and Mick Foley, playing up their historical feud from Orton's early days. Also earlier in the show, David Otunga was named as Cody Rhodes's replacement on Team Ziggler following Rhodes's injury at last week's Smackdown TV taping.

-- Tamina, who recently trained with The Rock, returned to WWE TV as Vickie Guerrero's hired bodyguard. The set-up was that A.J. Lee noted that if Vickie places her hands on her, then Vickie will be removed as interim Raw authority figure. Tamina then blindsided A.J. and Superfly Splashed her to establish her new role as Vickie's enforcer (Pro Wrestling Torch)

Wrestling News Flashback

Brock Lesnar vs Jon 'Bones' Jones being speculated by sports media commentators; Will WWE top brass make it happen for WrestleMania

For months there's been speculation running rampant about the potential match up of Brock Lesnar aka 'The Beast' vs Jon 'Bones' Jones.

Due to Jones recent drug testing fail it would appear that the obvious place for the match up to happen would be under the WWE umbrella, and what better event to have it take place than WrestleMania.

WWE is always looking for unique, high interest (and grossing) main event matches, and there's little doubt that this dream match would draw massive publicity, and would certainly help sell out an arena (and boost WWE Network subscriber numbers at the same time).

Would the risk of booking such a dream match be worth the potential risk and payoff? Only a few select top brass in the WWE would know, those individuals would be the likes of Vince McMahon and Triple H. Pat Patterson would possibly be in the decision making also, and could very well help book the match, should it be scripted, as all WWE matches are. Or, would the WWE just have these men fight for real? Problem is if its for real, as the WWF Brawl For All was, both men could get seriously hurt and be out of action for many months. Then again, both men would be part-times and are special attractions, so it's not like they have to be out on the road going to arena to arena, following such a bout.

There's also talk whether UFC / MMA sensation Conor McGregor may seriously look at one or more matches under the WWE banner no matter what the result from his clash with Floyd 'Money' Mayweather, who is not a stranger to the WWE ring, having previously fought and beat 'The Big Show' at WrestleMania 24.

It's certainly interesting times for the WWE / Sports Entertainment - MMA - Boxing connection.

Let's all hope that a Lesnar vs Jones and the upcoming McGregor vs Mayweather fight surpass the infamous Ali vs Inoki match from 1976.

As Bruce Buffer says, Let's get ready to rumble. Let's now cross to ringside with Mauro Ranallo for the call of the action.
