Xbox recently teased WWE 2K25 with screenshots showcasing updated character models for CM Punk, Damien Priest, Liv Morgan, and Cody Rhodes, strongly suggesting their inclusion as playable characters.

The identity of the WWE 2K25 cover star remains a mystery, despite a Steam page leak hinting at a potential candidate. Official confirmation, however, is expected on January 28, 2025, according to a link shared by the WWE Games Twitter account. This anticipation is fueled by a history of iconic cover athletes, ranging from legends like Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock to current superstars such as Cody Rhodes, Rhea Ripley, and Bianca Belair.
The Xbox tweet, celebrating WWE RAW's Netflix debut, generated significant buzz, with fans praising the improved likeness of characters like Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan. The tweet also sparked discussion about potential Xbox Game Pass availability, although this remains unconfirmed.
Confirmed Playable Characters:
- CM Punk
- Damien Priest

While these four are confirmed, the full roster remains undisclosed. Given recent roster changes within WWE, fans are eagerly anticipating the inclusion of their favorites, with names like Jacob Fatu, Tama Tonga, and the revamped Wyatt Six mentioned frequently.
Although the initial announcement came from Xbox, WWE 2K25 is expected to launch on PlayStation and PC as well. Whether it will be a current-gen exclusive is yet to be determined. The official announcement, promising further details, is scheduled for January 28, 2025.
