Bloodline Rules: Following the monumental year of 2024, the Bloodline takes center stage in WWE 2K25, with Roman Reigns gracing the cover and the group prominently featured in Dynasty mode. Bloodline Rules matches are no-holds-barred, no-disqualification bouts where victory can be achieved by pin or submission. These matches are notorious for their chaos, often involving interference from other superstars, the use of weapons, and even incapacitated referees.

Intergender Matches: As fans have long anticipated, Intergender Matches make their debut in WWE 2K25. These matches allow for thrilling confrontations between superstars from the men's and women's divisions, bringing a fresh dynamic to the game.

Underground Matches: Blending professional wrestling with combat sports like MMA, Underground Matches remove the ropes from the ring, surrounded by other superstars to keep the action inside. Although these matches were briefly introduced on Raw, they've found a more permanent home in NXT.
