WWE 2K25 Match Types: Full List, Custom Rules & Weapons

WWE 2K25 will feature a wide variety of Match Types, with up to 8 wrestlers in the ring at the same time. On this page, you can find all the WWE 2K25 Match Types available in the game.

Also, with the Custom Matches / Match Creator feature in WWE 2K25, players can create and save their own match types with a customized set of rules.

WWE 2K25 New Match Types

After WWE 2K24 added four new match types (Special Referee, Ambulance, Casket, and Gauntlet Match), WWE 2K25 continues to expand the list of matches available in the game. The new additions this year are:

• Intergender Matches are returning in WWE 2K25 after being absent from the series for over 16 years (as they were last featured in SmackDown vs. Raw 2009). Superstars from the men’s and women’s divisions can now compete against each other to set up limitless matchups across all game modes. The game will also feature unique Intergender Championships.
  
  
• A new match type that will be added in WWE 2K25 is the Underground Match: This match involves no ropes around the ring, and it can only be won by submission or KO. NPCs surround the ring in a similar way to a Lumberjack match.
  
  
• The "Bloodline Rules" Match has also been added to WWE 2K25, inspired by last year's WrestleMania: this is a no-DQ match that will allow up to six run-ins per match, three per side, and these run-ins can be performed as a Payback ability, by filling a meter and then spending the earned credit.
  
  
• We can probably expect a Special Referee expansion with the support for multi-man matches rather than just 1v1 as in WWE 2K24.

Plus, all of the familiar WWE 2K match types, such as WarGames, Extreme Rules, TLC, Submission, Hell in a Cell, and many more are featured in the game.
