WWE 2K25 ADDS NBA STAR?! You Won’t Believe Who’s Joining the Roster!

Summary

  • NBA star Tyrese Haliburton will join the WWE 2K25 roster via the Dunk & Destruction pack.
  • The wrestling game recently released the New Wave DLC pack, adding wrestlers like Stephanie Vaquer.
  • Haliburton’s addition to WWE 2K25 sparked mixed reactions among fans, who questioned why NBA players were being added to a wrestling game.

2K has revealed that NBA player Tyrese Haliburton is set to join the lineup of WWE 2K25, as part of the Dunk & Destruction pack. Haliburton currently plays for the Indiana Pacers in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Notably, he’ll be the first former Iowa State player to win Olympic gold in men’s basketball, doing so through the national team roster at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. However, the announcement of Haliburton’s inclusion in WWE 2K25 hasn’t been met with much enthusiasm from fans.

The sports game “WWE 2K25,” launched in March 2025, marks the 25th installment in a well-known series.

On social media, the authentic WWE 2K25 Twitter account declared that Haliburton will be a new addition to the wrestling game, set to debut through the Dunk & Destruction collection soon. Back in March, whispers suggested Haliburton might join the game, with leaks hinting at possible celebrity DLC characters for WWE 2K25, which also included Travis Scott, Shaq, and Jalen Brunson. The basketball player is now confirmed to team up with Abyss and Great Khali in the upcoming collection, with two more NBA stars yet to be disclosed.

WWE 2K25 Adds Tyrese Haliburton to the Upcoming Dunk & Destruction Pack

In response to Haliburton’s announcement, there was a range of opinions within the wrestling community, but it paled in comparison to the discontent surrounding the vexing count-out glitch in WWE 2K25. One Twitter user even praised the improved facial scans of basketball players featured in WWE 2K25 over NBA 2K25. However, many within the community were perplexed as to why basketball players were included in a wrestling game at all. The preferred additions for the upcoming roster among fans are Jordynne, Penta, and Joe Hendry, with some expressing a desire to see Triple H from his 1999 period join the ranks.

2025 promises a lot for both wrestling enthusiasts and gamers, with WWE 2K25 set to keep everyone on their toes. The DLC schedule is jam-packed! Starting from May, the New Wave pack will make its debut, followed by the Dunk & Destruction pack in June. As we move into July, get ready for the Fearless pack. In the latter part of the year, the Attitude Era Superstars pack will arrive in September, and the Saturday Night’s Main Event pack is slated to release in November.
