Summary
- WWE 2K25 teases surprise DLC stars.
- Speculation points to Penta, New Jack, Giulia, Stephanie Vaquer, and more joining the roster.
- It’s possible the DLC teases are being misinterpreted, however.
WWE 2K25 isn’t out yet, but the upcoming wrestling game has already started teasing some of the superstars that might be added to the roster as DLC. WWE video games have a long history of releasing DLC packs that let purchasers greatly expand their roster of playable wrestlers, and WWE 2K25 is no different. While specifics have not been officially revealed in regard to WWE 2K25 DLC plans, there have already been some teases about what fans can expect.
Recently, a WWE 2K25 developer teased that the game will have some surprise inclusions that push the envelope. Again, specifics as to what that might mean were not shared, but now fans have a better idea of what to expect from WWE 2K25 post-launch.

WWE 2K25 Almost Made Samoans Immune to Headbutts
WWE 2K25 almost made Samoan wrestlers like Roman Reigns and Jey Uso impervious to headbutts, replicating a recurring in-ring trope.
The official WWE Games social media pages have started sharing brief videos that seemingly tease DLC fighters for WWE 2K25. The first video shows what appears to be Japanese cherry blossom trees, which some have taken as a sign that NXT star Giulia will be a part of the DLC roster. It then cuts to what appears to be Detroit, which would be a sign that the Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley) will be WWE 2K25 DLC. And finally, the video ends with Santiago, Chile, which is where NXT star Stephanie Vaquer is from. The second video shows a bandanna in New York City with the ECW logo clearly visible, leading some to believe that the highly controversial wrestler New Jack will be a part of the WWE 2K25 roster. It then cuts to the NXT arena, where a fan is making Penta’s cero miedo hand gesture and a big “J” can be seen clearly in the ring. The “J” seems to be pointing to Jorydnne Grace, but others have theorized that it’s meant to represent Joe Hendry. And finally, the last image shows a Japanese lake with a Prime bottle. Bull Nakano can be spotted in the lake’s reflection, and the Prime bottle could be representing someone associated with Logan Paul, with speculation pointing to IShowSpeed or KSI potentially joining the WWE 2K25 roster.
Rumored WWE 2K25 DLC Wrestlers
- Joe Hendry or Jordynne Grace
- Giulia
- IShowSpeed or KSI
- Motor City Machine Guns
- New Jack
- Penta
- Stephanie Vaquer
Now, it’s entirely possible that some of these WWE 2K25 DLC teases are being misinterpreted, so fans should keep that in mind. But even if half of these guesses are correct, it’s clear that WWE 2K25 is being more aggressive than ever with its DLC to make its roster catch up with modern-day WWE. Fans have already responded positively to the teases, with many excited to see new WWE stars like Penta and Giulia potentially join the WWE 2K25 roster, even if it’s not at launch.
If the DLC guesses are correct, the most shocking DLC wrestler would definitely be New Jack. New Jack has never been featured in a WWE video game before, though he did appear in ECW video games and Backyward Wrestling 2: There Goes the Neighborhood.
