The New Wave DLC pack arrived right on time, aligning with theWWE 2K25DLC release date schedulethat was released in March, and as the name suggests, it brings forth four new superstars who have made their main-roster debuts within the past year. The Motor City Machine Guns, Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin, shocked the SmackDown faithful in October 2024 when they won the WWE Tag Team Championship in just their second appearance. The two Women’s Division wrestlers, while currently officially listed as stars on the NXT brand, made their RAW debuts in April, as current NXT Women’s Champion Vaquer challenged Iyo Sky to a match that ended abruptly after interference from Giulia.

There is still one missing piece of the puzzle, however. A fifthspecial celebrity guest forWWE 2K25had been promised as part of the New Wave Pack’s release and was not available at its launch, which is upsetting some fans of the wrestling game franchise. In aTwitterpost, the game’s official account states that the fifth wrestler will be revealed “in the coming weeks,” making it unclear when the mystery guest will be unveiled or added to the game’s roster. The next DLC pack, the Dunk and Destruction Pack, is set for release on June 25 and features five more roster additions, including three surprise appearances by unnamed NBA players. Additionally, another celebrity guest is planned for the Fearless Pack, which comes out in July.
Along with the four new wrestlers themselves, the newly released DLC pack also brings with it more than 40 new moves and taunts that they can perform, which can also be slotted in for players' Create-a-Superstar wrestlers or other official members of the game’s roster.
