Will We See TNA DLC in WWE 2K25?



WWE 2K25’s launch on March 14th is fast approaching and there’s tons of speculation as to who’s going to be part of the playable roster. We live in an era where they can release the game and then make you pay to download more of the roster. Would it be worth it to buy if the DLC included TNA wrestlers? Joe Hendry appeared on the Ariel Helwani Show and talked the upcoming game. 





He said “can you imagine if we had TNA DLC?” to Ariel. Hendry said it wouldn’t have to include current wrestlers like himself but classic ones like TNA AJ Styles. You know what Joe? That’s a tremendous idea. TNA has an extensive history of legends and has a good, young current roster.  



As far as current wrestlers, I’d like to see Eddie Edwards, The Hardy Boyz (Just so we can get them back in a WWE game), Xia Brookside, Masha Slamovich and Joe Hendry himself of course. With the exception of the Hardy Boyz, none of these wrestlers have ever been in a WWE game. 





Here’s where it gets fun. Which TNA legends would I want to see? I’ll preface this by saying I’m not including any wrestlers employed by AEW like Samoa Joe, Christopher Daniels and Jeff Jarrett. Let’s focus on other realistic options like Gail Kim, America’s Most Wanted, “Wrestling Machine” Kurt Angle, prime Bobby Roode and Awesome Kong. Gail Kim is a no brainer. She’s a wrestling legend and was the face of TNA’s Knockout division for a period of time. The other wrestlers were instrumental in TNA’s early success and feel like they could realistically appear in a WWE game. 




Who did I miss and who else would you like to see in WWE 2K25? Comment below or hit me up on social media. Would love to hear some options I didn’t mention.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

     Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving  WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years.       How t...
