Wrestlers are best characterized by their fighting style. Here is a list of the five wrestlers with the best fighting styles in WWE 2K25.
What Are Fighting Styles in WWE 2K25
Fighting styles in WWE 2K25 help categorize the different wrestlers as per their move sets and in-ring wrestling styles. This helps set them apart from the rest, giving them unique abilities that complement their combat style.
The different fighting styles in WWE 2K25 are, namely, high flyer, giant, technician, striker, and powerhouse. Let’s take a look at which wrestlers best suit these styles and what sets them apart.
5. High Flyer (Rob Van Dam)
Rating: 90
Rob Van Dam is considered one of the greatest high flyers in wrestling folklore. He is one of only two wrestlers to have held the WWE, ECW, and TNA World Championships.
Rob boasts a rating of 90, which is the highest for High Flyers in WWE 2K25. He is exclusively known for his springboard-type moonsets, which mainly comprised jumps either off the mat or off the top rope.
High Flyer Pros/Cons
High Flyers rely on high-risk moves from the top rope. They are quicker, have more stamina, and can dodge heavy strikes more easily. Their moves are, however, easier to counter mid-air when reversals are timed right. They also tend to be weaker against grapples.
4. Giant (Undertaker ’98)
Rating: 93
The Undertaker’s legacy is widespread on a global stage due to his unique character and presentation. During his initial run with the WWE, he was put forth as an intimidating giant figure. It was only later that he started incorporating a boxing style into his moveset. This is one of the reasons why his later versions in the game possess the striker fighting style.
The Undertaker is a decorated veteran, being a three-time World Heavyweight Champion, a six-time Tag Team Champion, a Royal Rumble winner, and holding a streak of 21 wins in WrestleMania before finally being defeated by Brock Lesnar.
Giant Pros/Cons
The Giant fighting style has the most endurance amongst all the wrestlers. They take longer to lose their health and begin their match with a shield, giving them extra protection. Their playstyle is the slowest compared to the rest and can easily be outrun.
3. Technician (Cody Rhodes)
Rating: 96
Cody Rhodes has had an inspiring run over the last three years since his return to the company. Before that, he explored the various independent circuits, honing his skills as a wrestler and rebranding his character.
He prioritizes a lot of his moves in the manner of wearing his opponent down over time, rather than inflicting pure strikes. His move set generally comprises submission holds and grapple attacks to weaken the opponents. He is rightfully a technical wrestler.
Technician Pros/Cons
Technicians have a better chance of performing reversals and can stay standing longer during matches. They are great with grapples and submissions, making it difficult for opponents to reverse. They lack brute strength and rely more on a smart game style than just relying on strikes.
2. Striker (“Stone Cold” Steve Austin)
Rating: 96
“Stone Cold’ Steve Austin is another legend of the game. He played a pivotal part in the Attitude Era, helping define the hallowed grounds on which WWE stands tall today. SCSA is a six-time WWF World Champion, among numerous other achievements he’s held. He finally got inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2009.
Stone Cold has always had a fighting style purely based on consecutive strikes, either by hand or foot stomps.
Striker Pros/Cons
Strikers are the fastest and most unforgiving when it comes to attacking an opponent. They have quicker strikes and combos, giving the opponents a smaller window to perform reversals. However, they lack the strength and agility of some other classes. They have to rely on dealing more hits to weaken their opponents.
1. Powerhouse (Super Cena)
John Cena is a household name amongst wrestling fans, especially the younger fan base. He is considered to be a superhero by many due to his good deeds both in and outside the company. The game took to the humor of his memes in which he is assumed invisible and framed a version of his character around the same.
John Cena is a 16-time World Champion tied alongside Ric Flair and just needs another championship to stand tall at the top. His status as a superhero came due to some superhuman feats he performed, including picking up 500-pound wrestlers.
Powerhouse Pros/Cons
The Powerhouse fighting style is pure brute strength. Each strike and slam performed by a wrestler inflicts much more damage than the rest. They are also quicker to get back up to their feet after taking a finisher. Their movement speed is comparatively slower than the rest, and takes more time to counter and reverse moves.
