The Seven Most Devastating Superstars in WWE 2K25
The bell has sounded on another year of developer 2K’s take on the squared circle and everything around it. WWE 2K25 is here, receiving praise from critics for its immense attention to detail and plethora of game modes. Your boy has had a decent chunk of time with it over the last week, and after a couple hundred matches, I feel confident in naming the seven most devastating superstars in all of WWE 2K25. These are competitors cut from a different cloth, providing overwhelming offense and technical prowess that will ensure your timely victory.
Have you been getting your ass kicked? Try one of these picks on for size.
7. George “The Animal” Steele
What can be said about “The Animal” that we haven’t already heard? A man who can barely spell WWE, let alone who should be allowed to wrestle in it, George Steele has terrified his opponents for decades. If he’s not eating turnbuckles he’s most likely more confused than a blind dog in a meat shed. Don’t let the thousand-yard stare fool you, however. Steele is sharp as a marble, with a vicious side that, when wielded correctly, can bring untold fortune to those brave enough to seek it. Don’t sleep on George Steele. Literally.
6. Shawn Michaels (Manager Attire)
I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to say ole’ HBK has gotten a little long in the tooth. Sure, his days as the Heartbreak Kid are behind him in real life. In WWE 2K25? Not so much. Mr. Wrestlemania is back and better than ever, this time with a slick, over-sized tuxedo and drop-dead gorgeous hairline that makes him look at least 40 years younger. Michaels must have been ringing the devil’s doorbell, because his new look combined with a vintage arsenal of kicks, elbows, and crotch chops make for one of WWE 2K25’s most formidable challengers.
5. Wendy Choo
What could be more intimidating than a character that sleeps a lot? Wendy Choo has been on a warpath as of late, rising to a level of fame that jabroni Hulk Hogan could only dream of. Choo makes use of crippling submission maneuvers that will leave your opponent begging for mercy. In a creative stroke of genius, she began using the “Sleeper Hold” in order to send anyone unlucky enough to find themselves locked in it to dream street. Wendy is on her way to the top, and now is your chance to have her take you along for the ride. Plus she looks like one of those cabbage patch dolls that eats kids.
4. Eric Bischoff
Eric Bischoff’s blistering 58 overall is the secret to his success. Yes, it’s the lowest in the game. But that’s what makes the former head of WCW and Raw General Manager so deadly. Pick Bischoff, and the opposition will assume they’re in for an easy night. Suddenly, you’re hitting them with a flurry of karate-esque attacks that have left grown men with mouths agape and onion-ring backsides quivering. Bischoff-deniers be damned, and just because he’s best friends with that jabroni Hulk Hogan doesn’t mean he should be overlooked.
3. The Manifestation
Probing offense and cunning mindgames make The Manifestation is one of the most feared competitors in WWE 2K25. What the hell is she? God only knows. She reminds me of one of those older gals that smokes two full decks of menthols daily. Though, her in-ring cardio proves otherwise. The Manifestation can go, bringing a level of brutality to the squared circle that not many will find themselves emerging from. Pick The Manifestation to make your opponent’s knees click together.
2. Tony D’Angelo
What would happen if Tony Soprano – instead of getting into waste management and construction – got into pro wrestling? We finally have an answer to that question. Tony D’Angelo is the real deal, dropping foes with an overpowering spinebuster and excessive use of Drakkar Noir for Men. If Tony has one weakness, it’s that he puts too much faith into dimwitted subordinate “Stacks” Lorenzo. Lorenzo is so dumb he laid a ruler next to his bed to see how long he slept.
Keep your eye on the prize, and D’Angelo will take you to the promised land.
1. The Maverick
You had to know it was coming. Logan “The Maverick” Paul is everything the WWE needs and everything you wish you were. But the most amazing part about The Maverick is that despite being so good looking, so charismatic, and so utterly talented, that he remains so humble. It’s inspiring. And all of this can be yours. Begin building the muscle memory for getting to the “L” section of the character select screen, because once you pick Logan Paul, you guarantee yourself victory.
