The upcoming WWE 2K25 boasts the largest roster in the series' history, featuring over 300 wrestlers, including alternate attires and previously released superstars. Notable additions include wrestlers absent from WWE 2K24, such as Bloodline members Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and Tanga Loa, along with Eric Rowan of the Wyatt Family and current NXT Champion Oba Femi.

Beyond the impressive launch roster, producer Bryan Williams has hinted at exciting DLC characters coming throughout 2025. In a recent interview with WrestleZone, Williams stated that announcements are imminent and that fans will be surprised by some of the additions.  "We’re pushing the envelope," he explained. "We’re striving to make our post-launch DLC as compelling and worthwhile as possible."

Last year's WWE 2K24 DLC included five packs released between May and November, featuring new wrestlers, MyFACTION cards, and even manager Jimmy Hart.  While the Season Pass covered most DLC content, additional characters were available through pre-order bonuses and special editions.

WWE 2K24 featured surprise inclusions like soundtrack producer Post Malone and the Pat McAfee Pack with personalities from his show.  This year, fans are speculating about potential crossovers from TNA, given WWE's working relationship. Former TNA Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace, who signed with WWE earlier this year, could be a possibility, despite not making the initial roster. Similarly, current TNA World Champion Joe Hendry's surprise appearance at the Royal Rumble has fueled speculation about his potential inclusion.
