With Roman Reigns gracing the cover of WWE 2K25 and the two feuding factions of The Bloodline front and center in The Bloodline Edition, there’s no better way to honor further the Bloodline’s family legacy than with this year’s Showcase, aptly called “2K Showcase:The Bloodline's Dynasty.”

It’s a great privilege for all involved to pay tribute to the Anoa’i dynasty in this first-of-its-kind documentary-style look at the legendary family, hosted by The Wiseman Paul Heyman.

Heyman will provide historical context for each featured member of the Anoa’i, Fatu, and Maivia families leading into their Showcase match. Players also hear from Superstars like Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa, who will break down their respective matches and give personal insight for other Dynasty members.

But before we get into the Showcase match list, let’s dive deeper into other changes and updates to this year’s mode.

PRESENTATION & GAMEPLAY

When developing this year’s Showcase, we wanted to change the way players experienced the game, and one of the most noticeable differences will be with the reintroduction of cinematics during each match.

This year, full cutscenes make their return, keeping you immersed in the game at all times!

Players will also notice two additional changes in this year’s mode:

• Full entrances are now included 
• Commentary is now featured during each match
  • This also replaces music as part of the presentation

As has been the case with prior Showcases, players will be presented with different objectives throughout a match that, if completed, will allow players to earn each available unlockable reward.

One new wrinkle to this objectives system is that we have added timed objectives to each match, adding an extra challenge to the mix while keeping the action moving.

MATCH LIST

As the team started putting together the match list for this year’s Showcase, it presented a unique opportunity to take from different eras of the family dynasty and introduce legends like The Rock’s grandfather, “High Chief” Peter Maivia, The Wild Samoans (Afa & Sika), 3 Minute Warning (Rosey & Jamal) and The Islanders (Tama & Haku), one-time members of the vaunted Heenan Family.

As part of 2K Showcase: The Bloodline’s Dynasty, we have divided the matches into three categories: Relive History, Change History, and Create History.

Relive History allows fans to retrace the steps that legendary Superstars took on their path to victory! 

Change History will give fans the opportunity to avoid what was a heartbreaking loss, and instead turn it into a victory for various members of the Bloodline family.

Create History places you in Dream Matches that will see eras clash in the center of the ring!

Now onto the match list itself:
