by

Summary

  • WWE 2K25 includes a nod to Cody Rhodes’ AEW days, surprising many fans.
  • Players can unlock an alternate entrance for Rhodes in which he smashes Triple H’s stone throne with a sledgehammer.
  • Rhodes did this during AEW’s Double or Nothing 2019 pay-per-view event.

In the upcoming WWE 2K25 video game, there’s an unexpected tribute to Cody Rhodes’ time in AEW that has left fans pleasantly surprised as they didn’t anticipate WWE acknowledging it. The forthcoming title in the WWE 2K series is set to release soon, and those who pre-ordered any of the special editions have already had early access to play. The roster for WWE 2K25 is one of the largest yet, offering a wealth of unlockable bonuses in its Bloodline Showcase and MyRise modes.

In some scenarios within the game modes of WWE 2K25, you’ll find Cody Rhodes, who is presently the WWE Universal Champion and a top-tier superstar in the company. For those who follow wrestling closely, they might recall that before joining WWE again, Cody was one of the co-creators of All-Elite Wrestling, a major rival promotion to WWE. The interval between his exit from AEW and his current stint in WWE was short enough that he even made an appearance as a playable character in both WWE 2K23 and AEW Fight Forever, thanks to the latter’s extended development process.

In the upcoming WWE 2K25 game, eagle-eyed fans have spotted an intriguing Easter egg related to Cody Rhodes’ time in AEW. Reddit user DoubleFront8787 from r/WWEGames pointed out that gamers can unlock a unique entrance for Cody where he breaks Triple H’s iconic stone throne using one of The Game’s signature sledgehammers. This is a nod to the moment when Cody actually did this at AEW’s Double or Nothing 2019 pay-per-view event, which was a subtle jab towards Triple H and WWE.

WWE 2K25 Features Cody Smashing the Throne as an Entrance

It would turn out to be quite ironic that this event occurred after Cody Rhodes rejoined WWE in 2022, rising to become one of the company’s top entertainers by defeating Roman Reigns, who was the cover star for WWE 2K25 at the time, to win the Universal Championship two years later. More recently, Cody has attracted the criticism of two other esteemed WWE figures, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and John Cena. Notably, Cena has his own unique feature in WWE 2K25 called ‘MyRise’, where players can unlock a special version of him known as ‘Super Cena’, which is nearly invincible and invisible.

Fans are taken aback as Cody’s well-known “throne-smashing” incident is reenacted in WWE 2K25, leading to a buzz about other amusing alternate entrances that will be unveiled within the game, such as ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin barreling down the ramp in a monster truck. The full release of WWE 2K25 is set for March 17, meaning players who didn’t grab one of the special editions won’t have to wait much longer to dive into MyRise and unlock these perks themselves.
