WWE 2K25: Booking Intergender Wrestling

One of the marquee new additions to WWE 2K25 this year was the inclusion of intergender wrestling after a 15-year absence from WWE-branded games. Subsequently, potential match making within WWE 2K25 has been endlessly expanded, allowing for a multitude of different possibilities when it comes to bell-to-bell action and even the booking itself within modes like Universe Mode.

But how do you get the absolute most out of intergender wrestling in WWE 2K25? After all, when it comes to the WWE product, intergender wrestling is a pretty foreign concept and uncharted territory. Therefore, there really is no right or wrong way to make it work as best as it possibly can. However, here are some ideas for intergender wrestling that you should absolutely give a try.

Rhea Ripley Needs To Squash Dominik Mysterio

Yes, when it comes to the real-life WWE product, Rhea Ripley has long left Dominik Mysterio, Liv Morgan, and Judgement Day as a whole in the rearview mirror. That said, because WWE doesn’t present intergender wrestling all too often on WWE TV, Dirty Dom’s comeuppance wasn’t exactly “bombastic” for lack of a better word.

But in WWE 2K25, you can make it as bombastic as you please. Which is why you should absolutely run a squash match in which Rhea dominates her former on-screen boyfriend in the ring and makes him pay for… well, being Dirty Dom.

All you have to do is run a singles match between the two, turn the difficulty sliders all the way down, and have Rhea beat Dom senseless. For peak immersion’s sake, have Liv Morgan run interference so Dom can try to mount some momentum via a roll-up or a quick cheap shot. But that’s the extent of the offense he’s getting in this one.

Also, to ensure you don’t destroy the prestige of the Intercontinental Championship in the process of such a vindictive undertaking, make sure Dom drops it to someone before the squash.

Stephanie Vaquer Is Going Straight To The Top Of The Card

When WWE signed Giulia last summer, I for sure thought that the women’s division in NXT couldn’t get any better. Then Stephanie Vaquer showed up, shattered all expectations, and has since become some who seems destined to be one of WWE’s marquee stars. And in WWE 2K25, you can ensure this possibility is a certainty.

Even in an environment where intergender is the norm, Vaquer will be a standout. She’s got a great look, entrance, moveset, and already has a connection with the audience. So upon taking control, it’s imperative you get her to the main roster as soon as you possibly can. Assuming women and men’s divisions are no longer a thing, have Vaquer immediately for one of the midcard championships, be it the Intercontinental or United States championships. After a year, have her enter the main event picture.

Bianca Belair Vs. John Cena Will Feed Families

Bianca Belair is one of the most believable and over stars on WWE’s roster right now. Even if the crowd has been pushing her towards being a heel, she is still very much a draw and brings a massive amount of legitimacy to the top of the women’s division. That said, she’s conquered every mountain there is to conquer in the WWE women’s division. Her next challenge? John Cena (check out All WWE 2K25 Preset Entrances).

If you’re still in 2025 in your Universe Mode (, have John Cena see the light and turn babyface by the late summer. Then have a heel Bianca Belair challenge him to a match, and watch the money roll in.

Sure, it could very well be argued that Rhea Ripley is at the summit of the women’s division. And when it comes to in-ring talent, Charlotte Flair — despite her unpopularity and overexposure to audiences — is probably the most well-rounded of all of her competitors. That said, something about a Bianca-Cena match just seems right.

Giulia And Roxanne Perez Will Be Valuable Assets To The Tag Division (And Beyond)

Despite being portrayed as bitter rivals in NXT, Giulia and Roxanne Perez have been presented as a villainous tag team since being called up to the WWE main roster. And though each of them might be more valuable as singles stars, there’s no reason why Giulia and Rox shouldn’t be a force in the tag division.

First things first, have them run roughshod over the tag division. Using underhanded tactics each step of the way, taking the tag titles off of a babyface team such as the War Raiders. Eventually, after a long reign, it’s on you to have the team deteriorate, drop the belts, then feud against one another for a World championship.

By doing it this way, not only do you have a good heel team that gets over, but two top-class singles stars whom can be competing for the top prize once their partnership has run its course.

Tiffy Time In The Chamber

Tiffany Stratton is coming off one of the best rookie campaigns any wrestler has ever had. So now that we’ve torn down all of the boundaries separating the men and the women in WWE, why not throw her into a situation where she can be presented as an underdog such as the Elimination Chamber?

Here’s how I’m thinking about it. Stratton enters the Chamber following an improbable win. In the Chamber with her are powerhouses such as Oba Femi and Solo Sikoa, as well as veterans like Seth Rollins, CM Punk, and Jey Uso. Instead of trying to meet everyone at full strength, have Stratton use her impressive athleticism to her advantage in the Chamber. I’m talking climbing up the cage to avoid confrontation, diving off the pod, tricky misdirection, etc. Have everyone take each other out, then capitalize and have Stratton win.

I’m no booking expert, but I think you can do a lot with this scenario, as well as the fallout en route to WrestleMania. In the meantime, check out our Complete WWE 2K25 MyRise Walkthrough.
