New Match Types in WWE 2K25

Bloodline Rules:

Following the Bloodline's dominant 2024, this match type, fittingly featured alongside Roman Reigns on the cover, is an anything-goes brawl. No disqualifications mean chaos reigns supreme; win by pinfall or submission. Expect plenty of interference, weapons, and incapacitated referees—just like the real thing.

Intergender Matches:

Finally! After years of fan demand, WWE 2K25 lets male and female superstars clash in exciting intergender matchups.

Underground Matches:

Blending pro wrestling with MMA, Underground Matches remove the ropes, turning the ring into a brutal battleground. Surrounding superstars keep the action contained, adding a unique intensity. Initially seen on Raw, these matches have found a home in NXT.
