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 the faction prominently featured in Dynasty mode. Bloodline Rules matches are no-holds-barred affairs with no disqualifications, allowing for a chaotic atmosphere. Victory is achieved through a pin or submission, and these matches often see interference from other WWE superstars, the use of various props and weapons, and even incapacitated referees.
Intergender Matches: A long-awaited feature, Intergender Matches in *WWE 2K25* allow wrestlers from the men’s and women’s divisions to compete against each other. This thrilling addition has been a fan-favorite request for over a decade and a half.
Underground Matches: Aiming to blend professional wrestling with other combat sports like MMA, Underground Matches remove the ring ropes and surround the ring with other WWE superstars to ensure the action stays within bounds. Initially debuting on Raw, these matches have found a home in NXT.
