The second DLC for WWE 2K25, the Dunk & Destruction Pack, is out today, and it’s bringing three NBA superstars into the game: Shaquille O’Neal, the Indiana Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton, and New York Knicks player Jalen Brunson.
O’Neal’s connection to wrestling goes back three decades to a handful of guest appearances in WCW, as well as a one-time appearance backstage at TNA. Shaq also participated in the André the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 32 and he had a tag-team match against Cody Rhodes during the latter’s stint in AEW.
Neither Haliburton nor Brunson have had wrestling matches in WWE, but they did have a confrontation with each other on WWE Smackdown. Haliburton also had a breakout performance in this year’s NBA playoffs before he suffered an Achilles rupture in game seven of the NBA Finals.
The other two additions in the Dunk & Destruction Pack are TNA legend Abyss–who is currently working backstage as a producer for WWE–and WWE hall of fame member The Great Khali. WWE 2K25 is also adding new MyFACTION content including the Amethyst Token Market and a new Bloodline card pack that will debut on June 26. A robotic version of Cody Rhodes, Firefly Funhouse Alexa Bliss, Alexa’s Lily Doll, and Nikki Cross ’23 will be added for players who bought either the WrestleMania 41 Pack or The Bloodline Edition.
According to the WWE 2K25 season pass roadmap, there are three more DLC packs to be released. The Fearless pack will arrive next month with ECW legend New Jack, NXT’s Jordynne Grace, Penta, Bull Nakano, and an unannounced celebrity guest. An Attitude Era Superstars pack will follow in September with D’Lo Brown, Billy Gunn, Road Dogg, Victoria, and Mark Henry. The final WWE 2K25 release will be the Saturday Night’s Main Event pack in November, with ’80s legends Jesse Ventura, Mr. Wonderful, Tito Santana, Junk Yard Dog, and Sid Justice.
