WWE 2K25 is generating buzz for all the right reasons—and some surprising ones. As anticipation builds for the next installment in the franchise, recent roster reveals have shown that 26 wrestlers from WWE 2K24 will not be returning. This news comes as part of the ongoing build-up to WWE 2K25, with new modes, features, and an impressive roster of 300 playable characters already unveiled. The full roster for WWE 2K25 was revealed recently, showcasing an extensive lineup that includes Raw, SmackDown, and NXT talent along with iconic wrestling legends. Reddit user Makuraudo recently compiled a list of the missing wrestlers from WWE 2K24, and the list includes some unexpected omissions. Robert Roode’s departure is particularly surprising, as he remains a notable figure in WWE, currently serving as a producer despite his shift from an on-screen performer. WWE 2K25 is poised to be the biggest roster to date, but these roster shake-ups prove that even the most celebrated franchises must evolve. In a thrilling development for both wrestling fans and mobile gamers, WWE and Netflix Games have announced a groundbreaking partnership that will bring the beloved WWE 2K franchise to mobile devices later this year.
