In addition to the classic 90s tag team version of Scott Steiner, you can unlock the Big Poppa Pump version and make him a member of your roster in WWE 2K25. In last year's entry, this version of Scott Steiner was only available through unlocking him in MyFaction using costly microtransactions and a lot of luck.

Luckily, he is available for free by playing through MyRise in WWE 2K25 and making the correct decisions. Furthermore, you'll unlock other WWE legends made playable and a permanent part of your roster for the Universe Mode and exhibition matches.

How To Unlock Scott Steiner In WWE 2K25

Many of the unlockable characters in WWE 2K25 are unlockable through MyRise. The majority of characters in the story mode are fictional, but some noteworthy characters make enduring MyRise mode less tedious. A major addition is the Big Poppa Pump version of Scott Steiner, complete with his iconic siren entrance music and chainmail headpiece. Use the following steps to unlock Scott Steiner '03 in the fastest way possible:

In addition to Scott Steiner, you'll also unlock Alundra Blayze (Madusa in WCW) and the modern version of Diamon Dallas Page (DDP).

  • If you want to complete the MyRise content as quickly as possible, you should switch the game to Easy Mode and consider adjusting the gameplay sliders in WWE 2K25.
  • You can skip most conversations, but be careful about skipping too quickly as there are some dialogue choices. Unfortunately, you can't skip the cutscenes.
  • As you progress through the story, make sure to allocate your attribute points to your male wrestler for an easier time finishing matches.
  • Keep working through the Myrise story mode until you get to Chapter 9.
  • Chapter 9 features the most crucial choice that will allow you to unlock Scott Steiner.
  • After completing the Survivor Series sequence, you'll presented with two choices:
  1. Continue with your first (male) character to get the Reclaim ending.
  2. Continue with your second character (female) to get the Conquer ending.
  • Select the Reclaim ending and continue with your first character.
  • After several conversations, matches, and cutscenes, you will eventually have another choice: Recruit WWE Legends, Recruit Indie Wrestlers, or Recruit Past 2K MyPlayer Characters. Make sure to select "Recruit WWE Legends."

  • After making your selection for the Legends you'll get to wrestle at a convention for WWE Legends and meet with DDP and Trish Stratus. You'll get a choice between wrestling Alundra Blayze or Scott Steiner. It doesn't matter who you choose, but it may be more fun to wrestle Steiner since the goal is to unlock him for your WWE roster.
  • Complete Chapter 9 to unlock Scott Steiner, a modern DDP, and Alundra Blayze.
