Summary
- WWE 2K25 will reportedly have celebrity guest DLC characters like KSI, Travis Scott, and NBA players in the lineup.
- These celebrities have appeared on WWE programming in the past.
- Plans can change, and WWE 2K25's mystery DLC characters will only be officially revealed at a later date.
WWE 2K25’s celebrity guest DLC characters may have just been revealed in a new leak. The latest WWE 2K video game has one of the biggest rosters to date, sporting a massive mix of current WWE superstars, legends from the past, and new faces alike. Just like with the past few entries, WWE 2K25 will add more characters throughout 2025, with five DLC packs planned.
These packs include classic WWE wrestlers like Mark Henry, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn of the New Age Outlaws, and the Great Khali, newcomers like former AEW luchador and current Monday Night Raw sensation Penta, and even a few surprises like TNA alumni Abyss and the late ECW original New Jack. Additionally, the first three WWE 2K25 DLC waves will include special celebrity guests, though not much is known about who they are aside from June’s Dunk & Destruction Pack containing three famous NBA players.
WWE 2K25 Players Have a New Locker Code to Redeem
WWE 2K25 releases a new limited-time Locker Code, bringing a bigger variety of options for players building teams in MyFaction Mode.
As pointed out by WWE 2K25 fan and Twitter user WittyWitterson, the names of the DLC celebrity guest characters might have been uncovered in the game’s source files. While this isn’t a guarantee that these figures will be playable in WWE 2K25, the names include famed social media influencer KSI, rap superstar Travis Scott, and NBA players Tyrese Haliburton, Shaquille “Shaq” O'Neal, and Jalen Brunson. These DLC characters were predicted by the WWE2K25Leaks Twitter account earlier this month, around the time that the WWE 2K25 DLC line-up was first revealed.
Leaked WWE 2K25 Celebrity DLC Characters
- KSI
- Travis Scott
- Tyrese Haliburton
- Shaq
- Jalen Brunson
All of these celebrities have appeared on WWE programming in the past. Shaq has competed in a few WWE matches, while Tyrese Haliburton and Jalen Brunson confronted each other on the June 28, 2024 episode of Smackdown. KSI made a surprise appearance at 2023’s WrestleMania 39 to help Logan Paul in his match against Seth Rollins. The most recent and infamous of these appearances belongs to Travis Scott, who appeared alongside The Rock at this year’s Elimination Chamber and took part in a brutal beatdown of current WWE Champion Cody Rhodes – a moment that also saw John Cena turn heel for the first time in over 20 years.
This makes their supposed inclusion in WWE 2K25 fitting, but fans should keep in mind that plans can always change and that no one will know for sure who the mystery DLC characters are until they are officially revealed. The first of these guests will be added to WWE 2K25 as part of the New Wave Pack on May 14.
