The WWE Universe is officially back in the ring with *WWE 2K25*, and this year’s installment brings a powerhouse of new content, enhanced gameplay mechanics, and deep improvements across existing modes. At the heart of it all is MyRISE—an immersive career mode that lets players step into the boots of a customizable NXT superstar and take on some of WWE's biggest names.
What Is MyRISE in WWE 2K25?
In *WWE 2K25*, the MyRISE mode returns with an all-new storyline titled **Mutiny**—a dramatic narrative where players compete in NXT against both the developmental roster and elite WWE superstars who have entered the fray to assert dominance over the entire WWE Universe. Big names like Drew McIntyre, Jey Uso, Charlotte Flair, and Becky Lynch make notable appearances, challenging your custom superstar at every turn.
Players can create their own male or female NXT superstar and progress through the Mutiny storyline. Upon completing the journey, you can either replay the story with your current character and stats intact or start fresh with an entirely new creation. The mode also features multiple endings, encouraging multiple playthroughs to unlock exclusive characters such as Cody Rhodes and Rhea Ripley as potential allies.
Character Creation in MyRISE

*WWE 2K25* gives players unprecedented control over their custom superstar. From physical appearance and ring attire to personality traits and casual wear for promos and off-screen moments, the customization depth is extensive. You can choose between three distinct personality types—Bold and Brash, Comedic and Fun, or Scheming and Calculated—each influencing how your character interacts with others and which story paths become available throughout the MyRISE campaign.
