Every New Match Type in WWE 2K25

Bloodline Rules: Reflecting the 2024 dominance of The Bloodline (and Roman Reigns' cover appearance!), Bloodline Rules matches are essentially no-holds-barred affairs. Victory comes via pinfall or submission, with the potential for interference, weapon use, and incapacitated referees—just like the real thing.

Intergender Matches: Finally! After years of fan requests, WWE 2K25 allows male and female superstars to clash in thrilling intergender matchups.

Underground Matches: Blending pro wrestling with MMA, Underground Matches remove the ropes, creating a brutal, close-quarters brawl. Fellow superstars surround the ring to keep the action contained—a unique twist on the traditional wrestling match.
