Every New Match Type in WWE 2K25

Bloodline Rules: Following a significant year in 2024, the Bloodline takes center stage in WWE 2K25, with Roman Reigns gracing the cover art and the Bloodline being a focal point in the Dynasty mode. Bloodline Rules matches operate under a no-disqualification policy, allowing for an "anything goes" atmosphere. Victory is achieved via pin or submission. These matches are notorious in WWE for featuring interference from other superstars, the use of props and weapons, and often, incapacitated referees.

Intergender Matches: As the name suggests, Intergender Matches bring together superstars from both the men’s and women’s divisions. After years of fan demand, WWE 2K25 introduces these exciting matchups, providing fresh and dynamic competition.

Underground Matches: Underground Matches blend professional wrestling with elements of MMA. The ring's ropes are removed, and other superstars form a perimeter to ensure the fight stays within bounds. Initially debuted on Raw, these matches have found a home in NXT, offering a unique combat experience.
