The grand finale has arrived: WWE 2K25 has released its fifth and final DLC character pack, and it’s got all the handles from the ‘80s and ‘90s nostalgia train. Buckle up, because the Saturday Night’s Main Event Pack is here!
Meet the Wrestle-Masters
This delightfully retro pack introduces five wrestling legends who probably wore glitter and spandex like it was a Friday-night ritual:
- Jesse Ventura – Because who wouldn’t want a former governor throwing down in a wrestling ring?
- Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff – A name so wonderful, it practically sparkles!
- Tito Santana – The Latin star who was basically a walking cultural icon.
- Junkyard Dog – The only dog in wrestling who was actually good at wrestling.
- Sid Justice – Justice has never looked so… well, Sid-like.
This special pack doesn’t just stop at these living legends; it also includes MyFaction cards! Yes, that’s right; players can take the legendary wrestlers and pit them against, well, whatever other over-the-top characters populate this digital universe. Will they emerge victorious? Probably not, but at least the effort will be entertaining!
Season Pass Fully Loaded
With the arrival of this illustrious pack, the entire Season Pass has been unleashed upon the world. All five, yes, five DLC packs are now available for purchase, either separately or as part of the wildly popular Season Pass, which is basically the buffet of wrestling content!
Flashback to the Previous Installments
Let’s take a stroll down memory lane to see how this season unfolded with its delightful offerings:
- The first DLC, dubbed the New Wave Pack, gifted players with Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, Stephanie Vaquer, and Guilia, alongside the promise of a “special celebrity guest character.” Spoiler alert: the guest turned out to be so special that they were ultimately scrapped for El Grande Americano. The suspense was riveting!
- Next came the Dunk & Destruction Pack, featuring The Great Khali, Abyss, and a few NBA stars including the impossible-to-miss Shaquille O’Neal. Because when wrestling gets too serious, it’s important to bounce a basketball in there for good measure.
- July was even more thrilling with the Fearless Pack, gracing the game with names like New Jack, Jordynne Grace, and the ever-chaotic KSI. Mix in Bull Nakano and Penta, and suddenly it’s chaos!
- And then there was the Attitude Era Superstars Pack, which brought back Road Dogg Jesse James, Badd Ass Billy Gunn, Mark Henry, D’Lo Brown, and Victoria. The nostalgia factor? Off the charts!
And a Farewell Tour, Too!?
In addition to the Season Pass excitement, there was the cheekily named Farewell Tour Edition Pack. This delightful surprise included two versions of John Cena, who apparently gets around more than anyone else in wrestling, and R-Truth as ‘Ron Cena.’ The added return of Brock Lesnar just screams, “Hey, remember me?” to all wrestling fans.
Judge for Yourself!
While opinions might differ, one’s thing is for sure: the latest wrestling entry is being dubbed “another solid grapple ’em up.” However, there’s a slight critique about the new mode called The Island, which seems to be less about fun and more about emptying wallets. As long as players can throw a Cena taunt at it and pretend it doesn’t exist, they might find all the other engaging content around to enjoy for, oh, eternity!
So grab a controller, rally the couch, and enjoy tossing your favorite fantastical wrestlers into a virtual ring full of mayhem. Who needs reality when WWE 2K25 is here to keep the past alive, one suplex at a time?
