WWE 2K25

Step 1 - Showcase Mode

In this installment the Showcase mode gives us insight into the history of the Bloodline. It doesn't follow a linear timeline like last year. All matches can be played on Easy difficulty, just keep an eye on all the objectives to unlock the bonus gauntlet match at the very end. If you do so, there is only one match you have to play twice to unlock The N.T.C. and The O.T.C..

Day 1 Ish

Complete One Objective in Showcase.

Our first objective requires us to perform an Attitude Adjustment on Roman Reigns. It's unmissable, because it is needed to end the match.

BANZAI!

Crush Hulkamania at the 1993 King of the Ring with Yokozuna.

Please refer to Head of the Table.

I Did It For the People

Stun "Stone Cold" at No Mercy 2000 with Rikishi.

Please refer to Head of the Table.

The N.T.C.

Win The Bloodline WARGAMES with Team Solo Sikoa.

Very close to the end of this year's Showcase mode we have to participate in a Wargames match between the Rogue Bloodline and the OG Bloodline. For this trophy select the Rogue Bloodline and win the match. To obtain the trophy, it's not necessary to complete all objectives.

The O.T.C.

Win The Bloodline WARGAMES with Team Roman Reigns.

Very close to the end of this year's Showcase mode we have to participate in a Wargames match between the Rogue Bloodline and the OG Bloodline. For this trophy select the OG Bloodline and win the match. To obtain the trophy, it's not necessary to complete all objectives.

Head of the Table

Crowned Your Tribal Chief.

After completing all other matches, we unlock the final gauntlet match. There we have to select our favorite Superstar of the Bloodline to beat 9 other superstars. If you experience any difficulties with that match you can always adjust the AI gameplay sliders to make Easy even easier. But with Roman Reigns or The Rock, this shouldn't be necessary.

To unlock this trophy, we first open the Calendar and select the King and Queen of the Ring PLE tournament and simulate to it. We then choose either the male or female tournament.

• Enter one of the King or Queen of the Ring tournament.
• Simulate or skip all matches except the final.
• Play the final match.

Biggest Nights of the Year

Complete both nights of WrestleMania (Universe Classic or Superstar Mode).

We start by opening the Calendar and navigating to April. Our goal is to reach WrestleMania Night One, which takes place on the first Saturday of that month. Once there, we select Simulate until then to fast-forward.

After simulation completes, we:

• Enter "Tonight's Show" to access the WrestleMania event.
• Play through both nights of WrestleMania, competing in the various matches, or alternatively simulate all matches.
• Once the final match on Sunday night concludes and we click on "Next Show", the trophy should pop.

Step 3 - Play Mode vs AI

Most of the trophies in this mode require Legend difficulty. If you want you can make your life a lot easier by adjusting gameplay sliders for easy submission victories etc.

Back By Popular Demand

Complete a chain wrestling sequence, win or lose, on any difficulty (Play Mode vs AI)

Just initiate some chain wrestling by pressing in a standing position while both superstars still have an active chain icon above their health bar.

This Is New

Perform a successful dive attack off the barricade (any difficulty) (Play Mode vs AI)

Superstars like Seth Rollins or Rhea Ripley can climb up the barricade with . Hit your opponent with a diving attack from there.

Impeccable Ring Awareness

Win via pin or submission without having any rope breaks called against you on Legend difficulty (Play Mode vs AI).

Whenever you attempt a pinfall or submission, make sure you're far enough away from the ropes. That's all you need to care about for this one.

Mami's Revenge

As Rhea Ripley, defeat all Judgment Day Members via Pin or Submission on Legend (Play Mode vs AI).

This trophy unlocks after beating the following opponents in Singles Matches:

• JD McDonagh
• Finn Balor (not the Demon)
• Carlito
• Liv Morgan
• "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio

Size Matters

Using any Giant, win a 5-Entrant Turmoil Gauntlet on Legend difficulty without losing all Armor.

Armor is an additional health bar every superstar of the Giant class has. If you played WWE 2K24 you may remember that armor from Faction Wars in MyFaction. The extra health bar is purple and we have to have a little bit of it left after beating the final opponent.

Rando Rising

Win A Match with a Randomized Custom Superstar.

From the main menu head over to the Creations tab and create a new superstar. Once you selected a preset, you can randomize your creation by pressing R3. Save that creation and win a match with it.

Going Solo

Defeat Roman Reigns in a Bloodline Rules match without summoning any allies on Legend difficulty (Play Mode vs AI)

In a match under Bloodline Rules it is allowed to bring in up to 3 superstars to help us out. For this trophy however it is required that we leave them backstage and win on our own. By adjusting gameplay sliders and setting up easy submissions, this shouldn't pose any problems.

Miraculous Comeback

Win a match via KO after mounting a comeback from a Critical KO situation on Legend difficulty (Play Mode vs AI)

In the new match type Underground, we have survive a D-A-N-G-E-R situation. It appears on our health bar if we get close to being knocked out. So make sure your opponent beats you up, but store some finishers to be able to end this match quickly after the critical situation happened.

Recovery Deferred

Win 25 matches on Legend difficulty without using Instant Recovery (Play Mode vs AI).

If you never press during any of the 25 Underground matches, this should unlock together with Underground Reign or earlier if you didn't use the Instant Recovery to get back up quickly while going for any of the other trophies.

Underground Reign

Rack up 25 consecutive wins via KO or submission in an Underground match on Legend difficulty (Play Mode vs AI)

25 wins in a row can be quite difficult if you don't use adjusted gameplay settings. Whether you use them or not, make sure to take care of Miraculous Comeback in your first win or leave it for the 26th one.

Let's Run It Back

Successfully run through a 20-Entrant Turmoil Gauntlet match on Legend difficulty (Play Mode vs AI).

The description is very clear. You're either really good in this game or you take the cheesy route once more. It's your decision :)

Step 4 - MyGM

This year MyGM requires some luck and more importantly some online friends. Apart from Host With The Most and The 1%, all trophies can be earned in a single season. Therefore it shouldn't take as much time as it did in WWE 2K24.

Host With The Most

MyGM: Host and Complete a MyGM Online Wrestlemania show with 3 other human controlled brands.

Sadly WWE 2K25 doesn't support cross-gen, which means we have to find 3 other players to connect with, that play the same version. But first, we need to set everything up. To do so, start a new MyGM with 4 human players offline and simulate through the first 24 weeks to reach WrestleMania. Once you're there, exit and re-enter by choosing to play online. There we need to invite 3 players of our friends list and start WrestleMania with them. The show can then be simulated to pop the trophy.

Just a Scratch

MyGM: Have 5 or more superstars get injured on your brand during a go home show.

First of all we need to start on Normal difficulty, so that go home shows have 5 matches on the card. Next we have to upgrade our crew to level 4. That allows us to book No Holds Barred matches. No Holds Barred matches have the special stipulation that the losing superstar gets injured for at least one week. With a tier 4 crew, book a go home show (the week before a PLE) with 5 No Holds Barred matches and simulate through it to unlock the trophy.

GM Punk

MyGM: Enter the Hall Of Fame in first place with CM Punk as your GM and Mutiny as your brand.

Just start a new MyGM save with two human players, reduce the number of needed Hall of Fame trophies from 10 to 1 and continously sabotage the other show.

Medical Bill

MyGM: Collect $150k or more by releasing an injured Cash Suplex from your roster.

Before entering the draft we can edit the Draft Pool. Go to Cash Suplex and increase all his stats so that he becomes the highest rated superstar. Then draft him, book him in TLC matches until he gets hurt and fire him.

Use It Or Lose It

MyGM: Have a balance of exactly $0 after booking your show.

We can combine this easily with GM Punk. After every PLE we get the opportunity to trade with other GMs. Controlling both GMs makes this a lot easier. Just trade one of your superstars for the 4 best of the other show and all the money the other show has. Doing so will result in the other show starting the next week with 147.000$. Now, book their show with a Run-In interference, 2 TLC matches and 1 Tables match, for a total of 47.000$. Then, buy the first arena upgrade for 100.000$ and finalize the show.

The 1%

MyGM: Win the main event of every PLE while playing as the Mutiny Brand.

This is the most tedious trophy of this mode, but luckily we don't have to win all ten of them on the same save. There are 10 different PLE we need to win the Main Event at. Survivor Series will always take place in Week 20 and WrestleMania in Week 25, which means we need at least 3 seasons to achieve this, but only if we are very lucky, because most of the time Summer Slam will take place as the second PLE. Once you won at Survivor Series and Wrestlemania there is no point in simulating all the way from Week 15 to Week 1 of the next season. Instead, exit your season and start a new one on a different save. If the first PLE is one you already won at, go back out and start a new one until you get one you still need. These are the PLEs of this mode:

• WrestleMania
• Survivor Series
• Summer Slam
• Bash at Berlin
• King & Queen of the Ring
• Hell in a Cell
• Bad Blood
• Clash at the Castle
• Backlash
• Money in the Bank

Inevitable

MyGM: Have an Immortal Kyle Slickman win a WrestleMania Main Event while on your roster.

Similar to Medical Bill, we can edit the Draft Pool. Look for Kyle Slickman and increase all his stats. A superstar on level 25 is considered "Immortal". Draft him afterwards and make sure he stays happy and healthy until Wrestlemania. Put him in the Main Event there and make sure he wins it.

Step 5 - MyFaction

For players who already went after the trophies in WWE 2K24, there isn’t much new to learn, but one thing stands out: unlocking the “United States Champion” trophy. Be prepared – this one demands not just a lot of time, but also plenty of resiliency to push through the tougher matches. The old Proving Grounds got replaced by a new twist – the World Tour!

Rise Through the Ranks

Earn a Leaderboard Reward from a Ranked Play Season.

In MyFaction's Ranked Play we have to complete five qualifying matches to enter the ranking. It doesn't matter if we win or lose. The fastest completion is by immediate count-out or disqualification at match start. A season usually takes 60 days.

A Promising Start

Complete a Lifetime Challenge in MyFACTION.

Please refer to Journey of a Lifetime.

Journey of a Lifetime

Complete 15 Lifetime Challenges in MyFACTION.

There are more than enough Lifetime Challenges. Some require certain amounts of matches others are about collecting a number of cards or putting sideplates on our cards. Just take a look at them and focus on the ones you prefer.

Daily Progress

Complete a Daily Challenge in MyFACTION.

Please refer to Champion for a Day.

Champion For A Day

Complete all 3 of a day's Daily Challenges in MyFACTION.

MyFaction presents three randomized daily challenges each day. Complete all three in one day to unlock this trophy. The first daily challenge will also unlock Daily Progress.

Taste of Victory

Win a match in MyFACTION.

This comes naturally, we just need to win a match in any mode.

Never Felt More A-LIVE

Complete 10 LIVE Events in MyFACTION.

Within MyFaction, LIVE Events are challenges that are only available for a limited time, often requiring specific cards. Play and win ten LIVE Events matches, while collecting the required MFP, for this trophy. It also counts if we complete the same match 10 times.

Weekly Winner

Complete a Weekly Tower in MyFACTION.

Complete an entire Weekly Tower in MyFaction mode. The only one available at the start is the one for Week 1 and it conists of 5 easy matches.

Loyalty Confirmed

Earn a Loyalty Reward in MyFACTION.

Log in to MyFaction mode for five days within a single week and claim the daily reward each time.

Faction Wars Champion

Defeat 30 Faction Wars Bosses in MyFACTION.

Within Faction Wars, each run includes five stages, each ending with a 4 vs 4 boss fight. Battles and rules are randomized. Defeat all five stage bosses.

If we lose a match, we need to use a new ticket. Defeating a boss allows card upgrades for that run. Login rewards occasionally provide new tickets so it's highly unlikely that you run out of them before beating the required amount of bosses.

Beginner's Luck

Complete ALL Intro Challenges in MyFACTION.

This trophy is basically our reward for participating in each MyFaction mode once:

• Complete one Weekly Tower match
• Complete one World Tour match
• Complete one Quick Play match (versus live players)
• Complete one Live Event
• Navigate to Lifetime Challenges
• Complete a full Faction Wars run (all five stages)

Start of the Journey

Complete a Location World Tour in MyFACTION.

The only available location at the start of the World Tour is Orlando. Win all 15 matches to earn this trophy.

United States Champion

Complete all of the USA matches in World Tour in MyFACTION

10 cities, 174 matches. To unlock this trophy in the World Tour mode of MyFaction, we must win all matches located in the United States. World Tour sends us across various locations, each containing a series of different match types and rule modifications. USA is split into 10 states, each offering about 15–22 matches. Match types vary, including WarGames, Gauntlet, Iron Man, TLC, Tables, Ladder, Underground or Extreme Rules matches.

Every match can feature extra restrictions (called "modifiers" or "stipulationss"), such as bans on signatures or sprinting, starting finishers for our opponents or card level restrictions. Very important: We have to use 3 Male Legends and 2 Female Legends cards. So before you buy anything else, get those from the Card Market.

Step 6 - MyRise

⚠️ This section does contain some story spoilers.

This year’s MyRise trophies are all pretty easy, but there’s one important trick to save you a lot of time: use backup saves! Without them, you’d need to complete the story five times. By creating backups in the cloud or via USB (PS4 players), you can cut that down to just two playthroughs.

The Draft and the Furious

Drafted #1

Story-related. Unlocks after we created out first superstar.

Live Event MVP

Live Event Legend

Earned 100 Stars in Live Event Matches

Shortly after chapter 3 our superstars seperate, one will be on RAW and the other one on SmackDown. Both will then have one superstar to talk to, to progress the story and a second option in the form of Troy Simpkin. Troy offers us Live Events, which are matches against random opponents. We need to earn a total of 100 stars to earn all three trophies. No DQ matches are highly recommended, because beating somebody up with weapons helps a lot in gaining stars. Whenever you see a match that gives you 10 rebookings, you can unlock things or fight legends. Because of that and the sheer number of rebookings it is recommended to accept them, even if the match type isn't your favorite. My advice is to go for 4 stars in No DQ matches and to finish the others quickly. 5-star matches are not worth the time they take.

Bold Moves

Played a Bold and Brash Personality Story

After the very first match we have an interview with Cathy Kelley where we have to choose a personality story. The only other opportunity to pick one is when our second character meets our first one in their trailer for the first time.

Continue through the story, in chapter 4/5 we automatically get a storyline based on our chosen personality. The trophy pops after this storyline concludes.

Laughing Last

Continue through the story, in chapter 4/5 we automatically get a storyline based on our chosen personality. The trophy pops after this storyline concludes.

The Strategist

Bonus step - The Island DLC

The Island DLC brings us 5 new trophies apart from quite a few unlockables if we're willing to stay longer than just for the trophies. They’re all fairly easy to obtain and should only take around 1–1.5 hours to complete. Your total time depends on which quests you choose while working toward the 10 wins and whether or not you come out on top in the PvP match.
