Every New Match Type in WWE 2K25
Bloodline Rules: Following a monumental year in 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 embody a no-holds-barred, no-disqualification style, where victory can be achieved by pin or submission. These bouts are notorious in WWE for their chaotic nature, often featuring interference from other superstars, the use of props and weapons, and even incapacitated referees.
Intergender Matches: As the name suggests, Intergender Matches bring the excitement of cross-division competition to WWE 2K25. After years of fan demand, these matches allow superstars from both the men's and women's divisions to clash in the ring, promising thrilling encounters.
Underground Matches: A fusion of professional wrestling and combat sports like MMA, Underground Matches remove the ropes from the ring and have other WWE superstars encircling it to keep the action contained. Initially introduced on Raw, these matches have since found a home in NXT, adding a raw, gritty element to the game.
