One area of WWE 2K25 that has seen major changes is MyGM, with a whole host of new general managers for players to take control of in the quest to dominate ratings in the WWE universe. With so many new additions, including the likes of Shawn Michaels and Miss Elizabeth, and tweaks to the existing general managers for players looking to get involved in the world of MyGM, this list will delve into the very best that the game has to offer.

7 Mick Foley

A GM Designed To Cause Chaos In Opposing Brands

  • Power Card: Cactus Jacked - Select an opposing brand. 5 superstars who participate in their show next week will be injured
  • Useful for causing havoc with an opponent's roster

Mick Foley has one of the most chaotic power cards available in WWE 2K25's MyGM mode. Foley's power card allows players to choose a rival brand and the following week, five superstars will get injured, chosen at random.

If one GM has taken the lead in a MyGM playthrough, this power card can be a great way to even things up. Playing this card just before a major PLE can cause rival GMs to throw all their pre-existing plans out of the window, scrambling to find a solution to problems caused by the injuries. This makes Mick Foley a great choice for a MyGM playthrough, even if it's just to ensure that his abilities aren't used to damage the players' run.

6 William Regal

Another GM That Can Damage Your Opponent

  • Power Card: Power of the Punch - Select an opposing brand. All superstars on their roster lose 10 popularity at the start of the next week
  • Useful to bring an opponent's show quality down

William Regal provides a powerful power card that can bring their overall show quality down dramatically. Within my GM, the popularity of a superstar is crucial to developing high-quality matches. When two high-popularity superstars are put together, the quality of a match is dramatically increased.

This makes Regal's power card a game changer, with every superstar on an opposing brand's roster losing ten popularity at the start of the next week. This will bring the overall quality down for the next week's show, and fewer fans will be earned. This makes William Regal a great option to choose in WWE 2K25 MyGM.

5 Tyler Breeze

Instant Stamina Recovery Can Be Crucial To MyGM Success

  • Power card: Quick Recovery - Each superstar recovers 12 stamina instantly
  • Useful for preventing tired wrestlers and avoiding injuries

Stamina is one of the most crucial stats in WWE 2K25 MyGM, with wrestlers dropping below 40 stamina being at risk of injury. This makes Tyler Breeze a great choice for players when choosing their GM.

Breeze's power card immediately recovers 12 stamina for every superstar on the player's roster, meaning players can use this to avoid injuries that would derail their show. With the ability to instantly recover stamina, Tyler Breeze is a great choice for players in WWE 2K25 MyGM.

4 Xavier Woods

Stealing Another GM's Biggest Superstar Can Be Vital

Xavier Woods' Christmas was extremely fruitful for his video game collection.
  • Power card: Cheat Code - Select a superstar from an opposing brand's roster. They will permanently join your roster next week
  • Useful to bring in a big star after the draft

Xavier Woods possesses one of the best power cards in WWE 2K25 MyGM, allowing players to steal a superstar from an opposing brand. This is useful if, after the draft, players have missed one of their favorite wrestlers — or someone who could provide the edge when planning a show.

  • Power card: Mega Power - Select a superstar on your brand and immediately max out their popularity, stamina, and morale
  • Useful to maximize a superstar on the player's roster

When entering the WWE draft in MyGM, players have to consider a lot of factors, including both the stamina and popularity of their superstars when crafting their dream roster. This is where Miss Elizabeth's power card can completely change the game.

Miss Elizabeth's power card maxes out a selected superstar's stamina, popularity, and morale. If the player chooses a wrestler who already has an existing rivalry with a high-popularity superstar, a high-quality match is pretty much guaranteed. The boost to morale is also effective as the chosen superstar will not be looking to leave the brand. This makes Miss Elizabeth a powerful choice in WWE 2K25 MyGM.

2 Adam Pearce

A Rivalry Boost To Use Twice Per Season

  • Useful to gain extra match quality by boosting rivalries

When playing MyGM, players know that creating strong rivalries will boost the quality of matches and their show overall. This makes Adam Pearce's power card one of the very best that MyGM has to offer.

If coupled with a steel cage match to end a rivalry and give a huge fan boost, this can bring in thousands of new fans at once to the players' brand. This makes Adam Pearce one of the best choices for WWE 2K25 MyGM.

Finally, the best option for players in WWE 2K25 MyGM is Stephanie McMahon. Stephanie's power card is incredibly useful for players looking to dominate their opponents financially by gaining twice the amount of money from arena attendance in a week.

With the increased revenue, players can purchase additional power cards, put on more match types, and sign more wrestlers, including legends, to their brand. When paired with the bigger arenas present as the MyGM save progresses, this power card's worth increases, making it a great choice for later down the line. This makes Stephanie McMahon the best choice for WWE 2K25 MyGM mode.
