Best Wrestlers Who Should Be Added In WWE 2K25’s DLC

Summary

• WWE 2K25 features new wrestlers like Jacob Fatu and returning stars like Naomi and Shawn Spears.
• DLC packs will expand the roster, possibly including Motor City Machine Guns and Stephanie Vaquer.
• Wrestlers like Penta and Jordynne Grace, who missed the launch roster, may appear later as DLC.

One of the most exciting things about every annual WWE 2K games is seeing the game’s updated roster, bringing in the newest wrestlers who have joined the company since the previous year’s games. WWE 2K25 looks to continue that trend, with notable newcomers including Jacob Fatu, Oba Femi, and Sol Ruca, stars returning after a prolonged absence like Naomi and Shawn Spears, and new legends like the Wild Samoans and Haku.

But the game’s roster won’t end at launch, as fans continue to await the further expansion of its roster in DLC packs. Wrestlers who came into the company too late to join the initial roster may get a second chance later on in the game’s life cycle, as may legends who were overlooked for the initial roster. Here are some possible stars to look out for in possible future add-ons to the game.

Motor City Machine Guns

Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley

Consisting of Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley, the Motor City Machine Guns have been one of the most dominant tag teams in TNA history, winning the TNA Tag Team Championship three times. Additionally, Sabin holds the all-time record for X-Division Championship reigns at ten, and both have won the TNA World Championship one time each.

The duo made their long-awaited WWE debut in 2024, instantly winning the WWE Tag Team Championship from the Bloodline, and going on to defend their title against teams like DIY and the Street Profits. They are a force to be reckoned with on the WWE roster, and many fans hope to play as them for the first time in a WWE game.

Guilia

The Dangerous Queen

Italian-Japanese wrestler Giulia got her start in Japan’s Ice Ribbon promotion before making a name for herself in World Wonder Ring Stardom, Japan’s premier women’s wrestling promotion, winning the highly prestigious World of Stardom Title from Syuri in 2022 in what is considered one of the best women’s matches in wrestling history.

In 2024, she made her WWE debut at NXT’s No Mercy event in October, where she confronted Roxanne Perez after the latter defended her title against Jada Parker. Less than three months later, she would be NXT Women’s Champion when she defeated Perez at the New Year’s Evil event. With tons of hype around her in just a short time, Giulia’s roster inclusion in WWE 2K25 would not fail to excite the fans.

Stephanie Vaquer

Dark Angel

Chilean star Stephanie Vaquer has caught the eye of WWE after her five-year stint in Mexico’s CMLL promotion. In CMLL, she won the World Women’s Championship as well as two tag team title reigns with Puerto Rico’s Zeuxis. After some time wrestling with NJPW and Stardom, she made her way to WWE.

Alongside Giulia, Vaquer was one of the main marquee signings WWE made to its women’s division in late 2024, and like Giulia, she headed straight to NXT. The two would form an alliance, and Vaquer would go on to win the NXT Women’s North American Chammpionship a few weeks after Giulia captured the NXT Women’s title.

Joe Hendry

The Prestigious One

Say his name and he appears! After spending several years being a mainstay of the British wrestling circuit, Scottish star Joe Hendry became a sensation thanks to his TNA run, with fans singing and clapping along to his catchy theme song, “I Believe In Joe Hendry”. But there’s more to him than just viral entrance music, as he is a talented wrestler who won the TNA Championship at their Genesis event in January 2025.

Thanks to WWE’s partnership with TNA, Hendry has also made appearances on WWE programming around the same time, having challenged for the NXT Title at No Mercy 2024. He would make his main roster debut when he entered the Royal Rumble to a thunderous crowd ovation. Seeing the crowd at Lucas Oil Stadium believe in Joe Hendry certainly proves he’s worthy of a spot in a future 2K game.

Penta

Cero Miedo

One of the hottest free agent signings to WWE of the Triple H era, Pentagon Jr. is most famous for his work on the Mexican lucha libre circuit with his brother Fenix. The duo would later find success outside their homeland with their stints in Lucha Underground, Impact Wrestling, and All Elite Wrestling. Their match with the Young Bucks at All Out 2021 for the AEW World Tag Team Championship is considered one of the best tag team matches in wresting history.

In 2025, Penta joined WWE on the RAW brand, where he has been on a dominant undefeated streak in singles competition. Although he came up short in his inaugural Royal Rumble appearance, he impressed WWE fans with his longevity in the match. While he came too late to join the launch roster of WWE 2K25, fans are holding out hope for an appearance as DLC.

3

Jordynne Grace

The Juggernaut

After a seven-year stint in TNA, Jordynne Grace made the leap over to WWE in 2025, making her debut in the Women’s Royal Rumble match. A few weeks later, she would firmly establish herself as part of the NXT brand when she encountered NXT Women’s Champion Giulia at the Vengeance Day event.

Grace comes to WWE with a highly impressive resume from her TNA days, having won the Knockouts Title three times and being the first-ever women’s Triple Crown winner in the promotion’s history. But one thing she hasn’t been able to do as a TNA Knockout is officially appear in a video game. Under WWE’s umbrella, however, that is bound to change sooner rather than later.

2

Mark Henry

The World’s Strongest Man

The World’s Strongest Man has been a mainstay of WWE programming in his nearly two-decade-long tenure from the dawn of the Attitude Era until his retirement in the late 2010s. Whether he’s a monster heel destroying anyone unlucky enough to cross his path or a comedic gentle giant, Henry has earned his spot as one of WWE’s most recognizable stars for good reason.

In 2021, Henry signed a deal with All Elite Wrestling as a coach, and he would subsequently be absent from WWE games for the next few years. However, with him parting ways in AEW in 2024, he is back on the table for future playable appearances. It would be a treat for wrestling fans to play as the World’s Strongest Man once again.

Victoria

The Black Widow

She ain’t the lady to mess with! One of the most popular female wrestlers of WWE’s Ruthless Aggression era was the sadistic Victoria. This wrestler, whose real name is Lisa Marie Varon, was a top star on the Raw brand for much of the 2000s. She would go on to win the WWE Women’s Championship two times before her release in 2009.

After leaving WWE, Varon would go over to TNA, and the newly rechristened Tara would find even more success there, winning the promotion’s Knockouts championship five times. With her signing a legends contract with WWE in 2024 and the two companies that made her famous starting a working relationship together, WWE 2K25 could be the perfect opportunity to bring her back in video game form for the first time since 2008.
