WWE 2K25 NEW DLC RELEASED! MORE BONUS CONTENT COMING?
This video is sponsored by Hule. Welcome everybody to Assemble. My name is Matt. Let’s talk about the latest in WWE 2K news and updates and things we can expect because we are getting towards the very end of the whole cycle of the game. We’ve got a couple of more DLC packs to go and we’ve got some upcoming DLC that we need to talk about here and some potentials potential surprises we could see before the end of the year. You never know what the heck’s going to go on. The first thing though is going to be what we’ve all been waiting for. We’ve all been dreaming for this. El Grande Americano has been revealed. Holy balls. You can check him out. He’s got the whole thing. It’s clearly Chad Cable. And then they even did a couple of things that maybe they missed. Maybe they’ll tweak a bit. The overall entrance, I like it. They captured everything accurately in terms of the entrance. They do have the taunts in there for the voice over, which is great. It is simply Chad Gable in the Grande Americano. Like, let’s be honest here. So, this piece of DLC is already out. It just dropped on my Xbox. Probably on your PlayStation as well. And the model looks great. There’s no complaints here. I think it looks fantastic. It’s Chad Gable. What can we say? Is this good DLC and replacement for what we were supposed to get in the first pack? That’s up to you guys to decide. But the entrance is good. El Grande plays well and I think it’s a fun addition. He is supposed to be the replacement piece for the celebrity. We did not get in the very first pack when the game rolled out. So, if that was supposed to be Travis Scott, and by all indications, it was because he’s not on TV anymore and he’s not associated with WWE in any form or fashion, then I we’re getting this as a replacement. Do you like having El Grande Americano as the replacement in there? I do. I think it’s cool. I like it. I I just we’ve got something’s something’s a miss. And what that thing is is that we’ve got a brand new El Grande Americano right now. So, it’s not it’s not totally 100%. It’s the best we can do right now. The other thing though with this El Grande that I noticed is that and I think this was this was circulating on the internet because you guys are on more than I am these days, but what I saw was the mask is not accurate. the colors are inverted. They’re they’re not correct. I think that what happened was from what like we’ve seen for screenshots and all of that, the mask that they’re using for Elgran Americano in the game is the one that they had for like the initial render when he was going to debut and not what ultimately happened on what we got on TV. The other thing is that the mask is different than that what you get in the island. So, they’ve changed that up, too. So, I don’t know what they’re trying to do here. Either they just made a little whoopsie and they will simply patch it. Here’s the other thing though, and I know what a lot of us are going to end up doing. And I’m thinking about you, you you co-creators out there. You people. I don’t mean you people, and wagging my finger in a bad way. I mean in a positive way, that you are probably going to go in there and give us exactly what we want, which is we are going to take Kaiser and we are going to put Kaiser in the El Grande Americano with the whole entrance and the whole gimmick and everything. So, it’s not a loss. But the other thing that’s great is being able to stay healthy and making sure that you’re feeling sharp and you’re feeling good. Cuz that’s how I feel today because I was able to take advantage of today’s sponsor, Hule. Matt from the future. Break it down for me. See, it’s like attitude error reference. Now, before we get into the rest of the video, I do have a big announcement for all of you. Lately, I’ve been trying to get well back into the gym, get exercise in a little bit, a little bit more fit, takes a lot of effort. It’s also been hard because the kids have been home for the summer, but now they’re back at school. Well, I can go and exercise mildly. But one of the biggest challenges I have on a regular basis, working full-time, trying to get to the gym, family, all of it, is trying to get all the essential nutrients, protein, everything I need to feel full, satiated every single day. So, I want to be able to thank Hule for sponsoring today’s video and supporting the channel with their black edition. This one that I’ve loaded up here is actually the coffee caramel flavor. It’s very, very delicious. It’s very filling, too. If you don’t have time to sit down and eat in the morning, you got to grab and go. Fuel Black Edition. This one has 400 calories per serving. And if you need a meal fast, Hule Black Conditioned Powder. It starts at $2.65 a meal and it only takes 30 seconds to prepare. 27 essential vitamins and minerals that you need throughout the day. And the big thing for me is that it actually has 40 g of protein per serving, which is massive. It’s going to make you feel really good and very full and satisfied. The other good thing is that for my wife and I, we both eat gluten-free. This is gluten-free as well. I will say too, I try a lot of different shakers. I try I’ve had like five, I think, in the last year or two and majority of them, they’re not so great. With Hule, it mixes very well and it doesn’t leak. Bumps around the car or I drop it on the table or anything like that, thing doesn’t leak. That’s huge for me. Now, I don’t know if you can see that, but right there, it actually has a little label for you to be able to help with how much water you need to put in there. So, you put 17 ounces of water in, and then you throw two scoops. You can do one scoop or two scoops, but you can put up to two scoops if you want to be able to maximize Hule’s black edition daily basis. When you order Hule Black Edition, you not only get 15% off using my code assemble 15, but they give you the shaker, you get a t-shirt with it, and you obviously get your black edition. So, if you want something that tastes good, it fills you up throughout the day, gluten-free, high in protein, low in sugar. So, use my code assemble 15. You’ll find it in the link in the pin comment below. You’ll get 15% off your order today. I also got the black edition vanilla that I got to try this one next. This has taken a long time to go through. Thank you so much to Hule for supporting the channel and the video. Now, back to what I was talking about here. Now, the Attitude Era and the Attitude Era pack. It’s the one that I am probably the most excited for. I’ve been waiting to get my hands on this little diddy and it’s going to be not P. Diddy, but we’ve been waiting to get our hands on this DLC pack for quite some time and it’s pretty loaded if you ask me. We got the likes of DLo Brown who has not been in a game. I haven’t looked to see when it was last happened, but DL Brown has not been in a WWE game for a long time. Super glad he’s in there. I haven’t seen really a cause or anything that was like going to match it. I want the head bobbing and everything. I I can’t wait to be able to get this. There is something that I wish WWE was going to do with this to kind of satisfy fans because the DLC roll out has been kind of up and down as we’ve gone. I’d like to see them do a couple more things that I’ll talk about in a second. The other big thing is that we are going to be getting badass Billy Gun and Road Dog Jesse James. Finally, even though Billy Gun is in AW, I love the fact that they are doing this. This leads me to believe one other thing. Hold on. I’m actually going to write notes right now because as I’m doing this video with you, just strap in right now and just hang tight there with your little noises because what I’m going to do is I’m adding somebody that I want to talk about in that we could see for next year’s game because with Billy Gun being added in there, finally going to get the New Age Outlaws and it has been forever. That’s a Sandlot reference if you don’t know forever. And then we’re going to be able to get Victoria. Now a question mark is going to be which theme do we get for Victoria as she enters the game? I’m very excited to get Victoria. I think it’s been a little bit of a while. And then we also got Mark Henry in there. And Mark Henry also WWE legend. He was in AW. Now he’s out of there. And they got him in there as the DLC pack. So it is one of the more exciting packs in my opinion because I just I love that era. Could we see weapons out? We know we’re going to get a bunch of new moves that go with this thing obviously and it’s going to all reflect them and then they add in even more moves on top of it. But I want to see like new tag team finishers added in. I want to see if they add in any new weapons. But going through that DLC list, nobody on that DLC has any weapon that was kind of iconic with them. You know what I mean? It nothing really stands out for what was going to be tied to that superstar. So I don’t know what they would do. May Young’s hand perhaps with Mark Henry could work. It’s also nasty, but we might actually see that in there. The thing that I was going to say to you all about what they could add additionally on top of all this and what I wish they would do would be add in more arenas, the retro arenas. Give us more of the Raw and Smackdown from the Attitude era, specifically Raws and any of the PLE’s or pay-per-views. That’s that that’s the real name for it. But I wish that they would give us more of the retro pay-per-views. Give me Raw is War properly from the game, not from community creations. I love those. But there’s still problems with logos and people trying to customize it and make it the best thing they can. There are some great community creations out there for the arenas for attitude area. You get a ton of stuff, but I wish that they would go in and put them in proper to go alongside the DLC packs that we get. And that goes for kind of any pack in my opinion cuz I I think one thing that gets kind of stale every year is just that it’s always the same thing. here’s your four to five superstars and now they really lean in heavy what WWE does with all of the celebrity integration and I get why they want that in their game but I don’t think it’s always for everybody just I’m not somebody who wants football and basketball players in my wrestling game Shaq’s kind of fun but it’s I’m not playing as him I’m playing with the regular roster right now I wish they would tweak it a bit maybe add more story elements if they wanted to expand showcase mode for example for additional seasons you know add more content there but then it starts to leave me wondering what other DLC we could see because the rumors and rumblings is that we are going to get more that on top of what has already been announced. And then I’m wondering too about we’re coming up to October. Are they going to release an additional WWE 2K version kind of your ultimate edition like they’ve done in years past where we’ve had Bad Bunny as one of them where we got Bad Bunny DLC as a standalone character. Remember back then I think it was like 11 bucks they wanted for Bad Bunny in comparison to my faction. It’s a steal nowadays, isn’t it? But we had the Bad Bunny edition, we had the Wyatt edition, and that was really cool where they beef that up towards the end of the year. And I think it’s a good opportunity for fans that if they didn’t pick up the game, you wait till late in the year, maybe you can get a discounted like around now, and if it suits your fancy, then you pick up one of those editions. Comment below, though. What edition would you want to see? Do you think they would do? To me, I think they would do a John Cena edition as I don’t think that 2K26 is going to be a John Cena mode, showcase cover. They could put him on the cover and do somebody else for showcase mode, but because we already had that in previous years where we had the John Cena showcase, I don’t think they’re going to do it again. The other names that we could see for this year for DLC is going to be Goldberg and Nikki Bella. Their crowd signs are in the video game. You can actually find them now if you scroll through it. So, this is going to lead people to believe that we could get Goldberg in there and we could see Nikki Bella. Nikki Bella being prominent on WWE TV. She’s been featured lately. She just had the match at Clash in Paris with Becky Lynch and there was a couple of whoopsydoo spots in there, but we don’t like to talk about that. But then we also have Goldberg. Now, Goldberg had his retirement match at Saturday night’s main event. What I could see them doing is that since the final DLC pack is the Saturday Night’s main event pack, I kind of could see them doing Goldberg as the the extra piece, the extra DLC piece to kind of tie all in the Gunther retirement and they can market it that way and give Bill Goldberg one more time in the video game. I hope he’s in there next year. Honestly, if Goldberg does make it into 2K25, I’m happy to see it because I grew up watching WCW Nitro at the high of Goldberg just doing his whole streak and I love having him in the game. Just having him there beefs up my roster and I love the retro roster someday. So, I hope he’s in this year and then I hope that would mean that it carries over to next year. Nikki Bella is also another one. The crowd signs are in the game. Very likely that they just throw her in there, too. And I think it’s good added bonus for fans because like what we had with Alistister Black being added in there. I think that was an incredible addition that people weren’t totally expecting. So I I like them to do more fan service that way where they can. Now the other one that was in there for Crowd Signs, too, is Big Boss Man. Boss Man was not in this year’s game, which is very odd. So I wonder if it’s a contract thing, a legends deal, something where just missed and they didn’t add him in. If we do get Big Boss Man, the Saturday again, the Saturday night’s main event pack or I mean the Attitude Era, I mean Big Boss Man, not not like the old the 80s version of him, but the Attitude Era one where he’s he’s got the SWAT gear and it’s the Corporation Big Boss Man. If they add him in, I mean, that’s great. And you could add in the Nightstick as a potential weapon, too. So, I think it’s something that they could be messing around with. They also added into WWE Supercard in July. They added in Goldberg there, too. So, I’m still I’m still holding out hope and thinking that we will get Goldberg in this year’s game, but what about next year’s game? Who could we see? There’s names and we could do a full video just going through like who’s going to be added to the game next year. I I do think that one of the big names everyone’s talking about right now is going to be AJ Lee because she just made her return on Smackdown. I can see they have enough time right now with AJ Lee coming back to next year’s game when it rolls out probably in March around Wrestlemania season if the timelines are all the same. They do have enough time I think to add AJ Lee in the game probably as a DLC. The other name would be Brock Lesnar. Again, it’s not I think Brock, if he’s in the game, he should just be in the base game. I can see 2K and WWE putting him as DLC. We’ve seen this with other people that were released and came back. Should have just been in the base game, but they add them as DLC to round that out. So, kind of see Brock being DLC and people don’t want it. I can see that happening. Kelly Kelly has spoken with Chris Van Vleet and interviewed there. And Kelly Kelly has signed a legends deal with WWE. So, feels like Kelly Kelly will probably be one of the names that we get for DLC for 2K26. The other name that came to mind was for next year they could add in Sting. I kind of wondered if they would try to figure out something with Sting to get him on a WWE Legends deal. He’s totally retired. Don’t know if what his contract situation would have been with AEW if he’s just free and clear and can do anything he wants, but I’d love to see if Sting would be added back into the game and get that Legends deal with WWE. Now, with the Attitude Era pack coming up on September 17th, we are going to start seeing the roll out for all of the previews for all the superstars. I want to see the New Age Outlaws tag team entrance. I think it’ll be great. DL Brown, I want to see how they capture him and how he looks. I miss DLo’s theme song, too. That thing was awesome. And the big question mark would be if they do these additional DLCs like Nikki Bella and Goldberg added to the game and maybe even Big Boss Man, where do you see them fitting in? Are they going to be attitude era packs, Saturday Night’s Main Event, maybe somewhere in between? And also that Ultimate Edition, if they do it, there’s no signs yet of them doing it, but do you think it would be more of a John Cena version of the game? To me, I think it would be. I think it’s kind of an it’s an easy thing to market if they just do John Cena as the October, maybe even November pack version of the game where you’re going to get maybe multiple versions of John Cena. And the thing is, why I say it’s easy is because one, you slap John Cena on the cover with one of his 2025 renders. You could also then just add in a couple of his different models that were not in 2K25 that we have seen in previous years. You you got a ton to work with there and then you’re just pushing towards his final retirement which is already announced for December. You kind of going to put a cap on that whole thing. But what do you think? What are you going to get for 2K25? What do you think about the upcoming DLC? I want to thank Hu so much for sponsoring today’s video as well.
