Every New Match Type in WWE 2K25
Bloodline Rules: With the Bloodline dominating the WWE landscape in 2024, *WWE 2K25* places them front and center, with Roman Reigns gracing the game's cover and the Bloodline prominently featured in the Dynasty mode. Bloodline Rules matches are no-disqualification brawls where anything goes. Victory can be achieved by pinfall or submission, and expect to see plenty of interference, use of weapons, and referees being taken out of commission, mirroring the chaos seen in real WWE Bloodline matches.
Intergender Matches: After years of fan demand, Intergender Matches make their thrilling debut in *WWE 2K25*. These matches pit male and female superstars against each other, breaking traditional barriers and adding a fresh dynamic to the game.
Underground Matches: Blending professional wrestling with elements of MMA, Underground Matches remove the ropes from the ring and have other superstars line the perimeter to keep the action inside. Originally debuting on Raw but quickly transitioning to NXT, these matches offer a gritty, no-holds-barred experience.
