Finish off your opponents in style. Here are the 10 best WWE 2K25 finishers.
Finishers are one of the sure-shot ways of winning your matches in the game. Be it at the beginning or a later stage of the match, the finishers will deal a good amount of damage to the opponent.
WWE 2K25 is slowly taking the franchise in a new direction. With the inclusion of The Island, the players finally get to show off their uniquely customized characters to the world and compete to be the best among the rest. Let’s take a look at 10 of the best finishers you can perform in WWE 2K25.
Performing Finishers in WWE 2K25
Finishers can be performed in several ways. The key inputs for a finisher are either RT + X on the PlayStation or RT + A on the Xbox. Depending upon a wrestler’s move set, these finishers can be performed on opponents who are both standing or grounded.
Some moves can also be performed while sprinting towards the opponent or when they are resting by the corner. You can store up to 3 finishers at a time. It is then on you if you wish to use them all together or at different intervals during the match.
10. Hulk Hogan (Leg Drop)
The Leg Drop in the current times is a move used to wear down your opponent and slow down the pace of the match. But there was a time when this was considered to be one of the most lethal moves in the business. And, even more devastating when performed by a 300-pound, 6 ft 7 in Hulk Hogan!
To perform the Leg Drop, have Hulk Hogan approach a grounded opponent on his back, by the head area. Click RT + X on the PlayStation or RT + A on the Xbox.
9. People’s Elbow (The Rock)
The most electrifying move in sports entertainment was initially created as a joke to break The Undertaker’s character. But The Rock honed this move to absolute perfection. He knew how to work up the crowd, leaning into the moment and creating the hype as he slowly took off his elbow pad. The crowd would watch in awe as he swung past the ring to then drop the elbow straight on his opponent’s chest. This is easily one of the best finishers in WWE 2K25.
To perform the People’s Elbow, have The Rock approach a grounded opponent on his back, by the torso. Click RT + X on the PlayStation or RT + A on the Xbox.
8. Attitude Adjustment (John Cena)
The Attitude Adjustment is the final act of John Cena’s 5-move set. This move was made to look impactful enough for a straight victory following its execution.

John Cena had been a babyface for the majority of his career before he finally embraced the dark side at the end of the PPV Elimination Chamber.

7. Ankle Lock (Kurt Angle)
Kurt Angle took the wrestling world by storm with his pure athleticism and technical abilities. He would demonstrate great feats of strength as a powerhouse, performing slams on giants. But, at the same time, was as agile as a high flyer, vaulting off steel cages. With the ankle lock, he would pin the opponent to the ground and twist their ankle into a leg lock.
To perform the Ankle Lock, have Kurt Angle approach a grounded opponent on his front, by the lower back area. Click RT + X on the PlayStation or RT + A on the Xbox.
6. Chokeslam (Kane)
Kane was one of the most intimidating figures in WWE. The Big Red Machine stood 7 ft tall but was yet considered one of the safest workers in the industry. His finishing maneuver involved him grabbing the opponent by the throat, lifting them off the ground as high as his arm could reach, and dropping them down on their back with all his force. Despite the strength required to execute it, he made it appear effortless.

He was one of the greatest heels to have stepped foot inside the ring. His finishing maneuver was the Pedigree. For this move, he would bring his opponent’s head between his legs, lock their arms, and drive them headfirst on the mat.

4. Tombstone Piledriver (The Undertaker)
The Undertaker is easily one of the most recognized names in the industry, be it by fans or people who have never seen the product. The Undertaker played the character of the deadman for over three decades, and throughout this time, he never once broke character, keeping kayfabe alive, be it in or outside the ring.
Not many were or are allowed to perform the piledriver, due to how dangerous the move could prove to be. The Undertaker had built this trust over his time. The move would have him hold on to his opponent in an inverted position, following his dropping down to his knees, with the opponent’s head hitting the canvas.
