Bloodline Rules: Following an impactful 2024, the Bloodline takes center stage in WWE 2K25, with Roman Reigns gracing the cover and a prominent role in the Dynasty mode. Bloodline Rules matches are no-disqualification bouts where anything goes, culminating in a victory via pin or submission. These matches are notorious for outside interference, the use of weapons, and referees being taken out of action.

Intergender Matches: After years of fan demand, WWE 2K25 introduces Intergender Matches, where wrestlers from both the men’s and women’s divisions can go head-to-head, adding a thrilling new dimension to the gameplay.

Underground Matches: Blending wrestling with elements of MMA, Underground Matches remove the ropes from the ring and have other superstars encircling it to keep the fight inside. Originally featured on Raw and later moved to NXT, these matches offer a raw and intense combat experience.
