Every New Match Type in WWE 2K25
**Bloodline Rules:** Following a monumental year in 2024, the Bloodline takes center stage in *WWE 2K25*, with Roman Reigns gracing the game's cover and the faction prominently featured in the Dynasty mode. Bloodline Rules matches are no-holds-barred affairs, where anything goes and there are no disqualifications. Victory is achieved through a pin or submission. These matches are notorious for their chaotic nature, often involving interference from other WWE superstars, the use of props and weapons, and even incapacitated referees.
**Intergender Matches:** As the name suggests, Intergender Matches allow for thrilling confrontations between superstars from the men's and women's divisions. After years of fan demand, *WWE 2K25* finally introduces these matches, bringing a new level of excitement to the ring.
**Underground Matches:** These matches blend professional wrestling with elements of MMA, creating a unique combat experience. In Underground Matches, the ropes are removed from the ring, and other WWE superstars form a perimeter to keep the fight contained. Initially introduced on Raw, these matches have found a new home in NXT.
