*WWE 2K25* is set to be a monumental release for fans of professional wrestling, offering a diverse range of match types, including innovative additions that first appeared in 2024. Here's a comprehensive guide to every match type you'll find in *WWE 2K25*.
Every New Match Type in WWE 2K25
Bloodline Rules: Following a significant year in 2024, the Bloodline takes center stage in WWE 2K25, with Roman Reigns gracing the cover and the faction prominently featured in the Dynasty mode. Bloodline Rules matches are essentially no-disqualification brawls where victory can be achieved by pinfall or submission. In the WWE, these matches are notorious for interference by other superstars, the use of various props and weapons, and often involve incapacitated referees.
Intergender Matches: These matches have been long-awaited by fans for over a decade and a half. In WWE 2K25, Intergender Matches allow superstars from the men's and women's divisions to compete against each other, adding a thrilling dimension to the game.
Underground Matches: These matches blend professional wrestling with elements of MMA. The ring is stripped of its ropes, and other WWE superstars line the perimeter to keep the action inside. Initially introduced on Raw, Underground Matches found a more permanent home in NXT.
