What’s in the Pack?

Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff – (listed as “Mr. Wonderful”) the muscular showman from the golden age of wrestling

Sid Justice – the imposing powerhouse who claimed ring dominance with raw force
-
Tito Santana – the affable yet tough technical grappler beloved by fans
By adding these five names, the pack taps deep into the attitudinal and golden eras of pro-wrestling, giving players a chance to command legends with distinct styles, personas, and moves.
Why This Pack Matters
-
Legendary Roster Boost: While the base game of WWE 2K25 already boasts a large roster, this pack adds revered names from wrestling’s past, enhancing replayability and broadening match-up options. Because these characters often bring different animations, entrances, and special abilities, they spice up the meta and creative mode alike.
-
Themed Around “Saturday Night’s Main Event” Vibes: The title of the pack evokes the premium feel of old Saturday night broadcasts — big spectacle, big stars. The inclusion of these legends matches that tone.
-
Timing Matters: Releasing in mid-November means players still get new content months after the game’s launch, helping maintain interest and giving Late-Year consumers something to look forward to.
-
Broad Appeal: If you’re a longtime wrestling fan, these names provide nostalgia. If you’re newer to the scene, you get access to historically significant characters that you may not have experienced live.
What To Expect in-Game
While full technical details are still under wraps, given what we know of WWE 2K25’s post-launch approach (via the Season Pass model) and previous DLC packs, you can reasonably expect:
-
Playable versions of each legend with customized move-sets, entrances, and likely alternate attires.
-
MyFACTION cards (if you use that mode) or other collectible elements tied to their characters.
-
Possibly special match types or themed arenas aligned with the “Saturday Night’s Main Event” branding.
-
Integration into the game’s other modes: Universe mode, MyRise, and perhaps online play.
-
Cosmetic extras (entrance videos, lighting changes, legacy commentary) although these aren’t confirmed yet.
How This Fits Into the Bigger DLC Picture
The publisher, 2K Games, structured WWE 2K25’s post-launch content with a Season Pass that includes five character packs and a “SuperCharger” pack. wwe.2k.com+2The SmackDown Hotel+2 This November 12 pack is the fifth of those character packs. The SmackDown Hotel+1
This means if you’ve bought the Season Pass, you’re pre-booked for this one; if not, you can purchase the pack individually (assuming pricing is typical for DLC).
Tips for Players
-
Pre-plan your roster swaps: If you have custom created wrestlers or stable rosters, consider which legend you’ll slot in and how their style changes will impact your team.
-
Watch for sale periods: DLC packs often go on sale during holiday promotions. Mark November 12, then keep an eye on major sale events.
-
Mix eras for fun: One of the joys of wrestling games is fantasy match-ups — try pairing “Junk Yard Dog” vs a modern heavyweight or “Tito Santana” against a tech-savvy newer star.
-
Check for mode compatibility: If you play in modes like MyRise or online, verify that these legends are usable where you want them (sometimes certain DLC characters may be restricted for competitive leaderboards).
-
Update your entrance themes/graphics: Since legacy characters often come with their own flair, ensure your game is patched and your custom modes updated to accommodate any new animations or assets.
