10 Best Wrestlers in WWE 2K25

It’s easy to look at the ratings of the wrestlers in WWE 2K25 and judge the best wrestlers based on how high they rank. However, not every wrestler with a high ranking is the strongest, most tactical option you can go with. Some gel better with your play style.

Meanwhile, there are underrated wrestlers who, once you discover their hidden talent, can become the next go-to when competing in the matches in WWE 2K25. We’ve analyzed the Superstars and Legends on this year’s roster and ranked the best wrestlers in WWE 2K25 as follows.

10. Bron Breakker

The son of Legend Rick Steiner and nephew Scott Steiner, Bron Breakker ranks at 87 points on the Raw WWE 2K25 roster. He’s a heavyweight champion, currently reigning as the WWE Intercontinental Champion for 149 days. 

While Bron Breakker already has an impressive record in the real world, his abilities and finishers in the WWE 2K25 ring are just as good. He can unleash Powerbombs, Military Press Slam, and the Spear signature finishing move. 

Bron Breakker combines the Steiner Brothers’ skills, thus giving him irrefutable speed and power. Combined with his up-and-coming fresh attitude and talent, you’ll hardly go wrong putting on a show in the ring or locker room. 

9. Hulk Hogan

There are Legends who need no introduction. Hulk Hogan, a 92-ranking heavyweight wrestler, is a popular go-to for most players. You’ll unlock his character in the 2K Showcase mode. Meanwhile, you can explore his other similarly powerful variations like Hollywood Hogan and Elite Hulk Hogan.

Currently working as an ambassador for WWE, Hulk Hogan has built an exceptional career in the ring and in other media, such as movies and TV appearances. Besides his comic book looks, you’ll probably know of him by the unforgettable Body Slam moment against Andre the Giant during WrestleMania 3.

Moreover, Hulk Hogan’s Scoop Power Slam, the signature Big Boot and Bear Hug moves, and the Leg Drop finisher grant you immense power and strength against opponents.

8. Sami Zayn

Ranked at 86 points, Sami Zayn is a light heavyweight Canadian wrestler worth considering among the best wrestlers in WWE 2K25. While his wrestling career may not have comparable achievements to other higher-ranking Superstars and Legends, Sami Zayn remains a steady winner of WWE 2K25 matches. 

You’ll find many players gravitate toward Sami Zayn, and he delivers, whether in casual matches or the main event scene. 

Initially a part of the Bloodline, followed by a betrayal against Roman Reigns before rejoining the Bloodline for WarGames, Sami Zayn’s story is an exciting fuel for instigating interesting matches. 

7. “Stone Cold” Steve Austin

The Legends of WWE include “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, with a staggering 97 points. The heavyweight champion has been competing on the same level as Legends like The Rock and John Cena. 

While “Stone Cold” Steve Austin’s dominance in WWE has grown cold, he remains a reliable wrestler you can depend on. Thanks to his impeccable streak in the late ‘90s, he remains a top champion, particularly when reliving old matches.

6. Kofi Kingston

Kofi Kingston may not be as well-known as the other best wrestlers in WWE 2K25 on this list. However, the 81-ranked light heavyweight wrestler can put on a show that often nets you hefty rewards. 

Beyond being an impressive performer, Kofi Kingston carries a lot of recognition under his belt. He’s won the WWE Championship, snagged midcard titles, and is a part of the popular The New Day team.   

While Kofi Kingston is still clearly in the early stages of his career, only bigger and better things lie ahead for this promising wrestler.

5. Roman Reigns

The tribal chief himself is, of course, among the best wrestlers in WWE 2K25. The heavyweight champion leads The Bloodline faction. But beyond leading The Bloodline, Roman Reigns is the longest-reigning Universal Champion for 1,316 days. 

Hence, it’s unsurprising that he’s been the face of the WWE 2K franchise for a decade, ranking a whopping 96 points. While Cody Rhodes beat Roman Reigns for the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania 40, ending Reigns’ impeccable long streak, Roman Reigns remains a dominant force in other matches.

4. Cody Rhodes

With the same 96 ranks as Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, a light heavyweight wrestler, won’t disappoint. He’s currently the Undisputed WWE Champion for 346 days. Yet even before he became reigning champion, Cody Rhodes was a beast in the ring.

Living up to his American Nightmare nickname, Cody Rhodes easily beats other Superstars and Legends in WWE 2K25. Casual matches are a piece of cake for him, and main events are the best place to unleash his potential.

3. Bayley

In the history of WWE 2K, male wrestlers have held high rankings and similarly delivered in the ring. However, a few female wrestlers have coveted speed and power that can level you up easily. 

Take Bayley, for instance, an 87-ranked cruiserweight pro wrestler who has been underrated for too long. Among the female wrestlers, she’s the most powerful, having scooped up the Royal Rumble and won the Championship at WrestleMania 40. 

2. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

Quite obvious that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson would feature at the top of the best wrestlers in WWE 2K25. He’s had a flourishing career not just in the ring but in the outside world. And his prime success is reflected in his performance in WWE 2K25. 

Some of the most historical and unforgettable matches have The Rock at the center. Specifically, The Rock ‘01 version has a whopping 96 ranking that reflects his prime WWE career, beating Steve Austin, Triple H, and more top dogs in the business. 

1. John Cena

The other wrestler who is giving The Rock a run for his money is John Cena. From his attractive personality and flair in the ring to his impressive range of super-powered moves, John Cena has remained a top choice for most players.

John Cena has won more matches and Championships than you can count. However, if you want to really rule the ring, you can check out Super Cena, ranked at 100. 

An invisible character created as a joke to reference John Cena’s “you can’t see me” phrase, Super Cena remains the best wrestler any other top dog will struggle to beat.
