Surprise WWE 2K25 DLC is here again, with October's Farewell Tour Pack bringing Brock Lesnar to the game – along with alternate personas for R-Truth and John Cena. Previous unexpected WWE 2K25 additions have included El Grande Americano, Nikki Bella and Aleister Black, and there are five classic stars still to come. See them all with your WWE 2K25 DLC guide and Season Pass release schedule.
How to get WWE 2K25 DLC characters
As with previous years, there are two ways to add DLC. There are five standard packs on the way between May 2025 and November 2025, and you can buy each one individually. They're priced at $9.99 / £8.99 per pack. Alternatively, you can grab the WWE 2K25 Season Pass, which grants you all packs for $39.99 / £32.99.
An additional bonus from the Season Pass is the SuperCharger, which unlocks legends, arenas and titles without you having to grind through gameplay modes to get them. New this year is the Ringside Pass, which adds the SuperStar Mega-Boost – bolstering your MyRise wrestler, and adding 100K VC into the bargain.

WWE 2K25 DLC Legends
We’re getting an impressive 16 WWE 2K25 DLC Legends, including one monstrous surprise: longstanding TNA favourite Abyss. He’s never appeared in a WWE game before, because he’s never been an official WWE superstar – although he is now a backstage producer for the company. He landed in June 2025, alongside The Great Khali, as part of the Dunk & Destruction Pack.
July’s Fearless Pack added another two wrestlers we’ve never seen in the series, in ECW bruiser New Jack and Japanese icon Bull Nakano. It was followed with more familiar additions in September. The Attitude Era Superstars Pack sees D’Lo Brown, Billy Gunn, Road Dogg, Victoria and Mark Henry all return to the series. Yep, the New Age Outlaws are back.
Goldberg and Nikki Bella were also added as DLC in September, with a complication: you had to spend 50,000 VC in The Island to acquire them.
Five more legends arrive in the final DLC drop. The Saturday Night’s Main Event Pack lands in November, and sees a quintet of old-school grapplers added to the WWE 2K25 roster. They are Jesse Ventura, Mr Wonderful Paul Orndorff, Tito Santana, Junkyard Dog, and Sid Justice.
WWE 2K25 DLC Raw and Smackdown wrestlers
As far as WWE 2K25 DLC from Raw and Smackdown goes, the numbers are limited – but that’s because most of those rosters are already in the base game. The notable exceptions are former Smackdown tag-team champs the Motor City Machine Guns, and Raw newcomer Penta. Thankfully, that trio are all on their way.
Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin are now here, as part of the New Wave Pack. We had to wait a little longer for Penta: he arrived in July, within the Fearless Pack. Given he only debuted in January, that’s an impressive inclusion. Like Cody Rhodes, Jade Cargill and Andrade, it means he’s in WWE 2K25 as well as being on the AEW Fight Forever roster. As is Aleister Black, who was a surprise release in the WWE 2K25 WrestleMania 41 Pack.
Further surprises arrived in October. As part of the Farewell Tour DLC we got Brock Lesnar, R-Truth alter-ego Ron Cena, and two old-school versions of John Cena.
WWE 2K25 NXT DLC characters
Infamously, we only got Lyra Valkyria from NXT last year – and thankfully, 2K has learned a bit of a lesson. This time out three WWE 2K25 NXT DLC characters are headed to the roster, and they’re all ladies who’ve been high on fan wishlists. First up were Giulia and Stephanie Vaquer, as part of May’s New Wave Pack. They were joined in July by Jordynne Grace, who lines up next to Penta in the Fearless Pack.
The only disappointment is the lack of Joe Hendry, likely due to being contracted to TNA. To play as the super Scot, you’ll instead need to use Community Creations – and we have a WWE 2K25 CAWs guide to explain how to do that.
WWE 2K25 DLC celebrities
There are four celebrity WWE 2K25 DLC additions. Three of them are from the NBA, and formed 60% of the Dunk & Destruction Pack in June: Shaquille O'Neal, Tyrese Haliburton, and Jalen Brunson. There was also one celeb assigned to May’s New Wave Pack, and one locked into July’s Fearless Pack.
Weirdly, we never received the New Wave celeb, long rumored to be Travis Scott. Instead, 2K gave every player 12,500 VC by way of an apology for the delay, then announced that we'd instead be getting Chad Gable's alter ago El Grande Americano – but not until September.
