Summary
WWE 2K25was released in March 2025, with fans excited to see what new additions and updates have been made to the annual wrestling franchise. The game features many of the game modes players have become accustomed to, withMyRise featuring an all-new story involving a mutinywithin NXT causing havoc for the player’s created superstar. The game also boasts an open-world online mode called The Island, in which players compete for a WWE contract from Roman Reigns, completing objectives to improve their created superstar and gain new cosmetic items.The game also features a deep dive into The Bloodlinein Showcase mode, with players taking on the roles of different members of the Aona’i family in some of the biggest matches of the last three decades.
One mode that players can get heavily invested in isMyGM,where they are given the task of building a brand to be the dominant force in the WWE. Players build their own roster and are pitted against up to three opposing brands, with the aim of garnering the most fans by booking the best possible show. One way in which players can generate hype is bybooking the right superstars to hold their championship beltsand creating great rivalries around them. So who arethe best wrestlers to pick as champions in MyGM mode?
Men’s World Champion
The Biggest Men’s Belt Designed For The Main Event
TheMen’s World Championin every division should be reserved for the biggest superstarson their roster. If the player has selected their roster based on having good match-ups—for example, Drew McIntyre vs. CM Punk—the belt should be given to one of these two superstars.
In this scenario, the player should pick whichever of the two superstars in this prospective rivalry has the lower popularity score, as giving them this title will increase their popularity by 10, with this being doubled for ECW due to their lack of women’s belts. So the key to this is creating a strong match-up and appointing the less popular star of the two. This will create a strong match-up capable of becoming a main event fixture almost immediately.
Women’s World Champion
Reserved For The Player’s Biggest Female Superstars
Again, this all depends on whom the player has decided to draft, but similar to the Men’s World Champion, theWomen’s World Championbelt should be reserved for the biggest superstars available on their roster. If the player has managed to pick up the likes of Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch,this is an ideal scenario for the Women’s World Title to be a main event fixture.
Choosing the less popular star of the two main rivals on the player’s roster will provide the 10 point popularity boost and then allow for this rivalry to be developed until the next PLE or Go-Home match. If Becky Lynch has been selected, an ideal scenario is for her to complete the rivalry with the belt in hand as, being a specialist, she will be able to put on great matches with anyone on the player’s roster. This title is reserved for the strongest performers on the player’s roster and therefore should only be given to the best performers the player has picked up in the draft.
Men’s Tag Team Champions
A Great Tactic Is Selecting A Pre-Existing Tag Team
When selecting tag team champions, it’s important to consider the chemistry between the two wrestlers, as teams that work well together will provide better quality matches.If the player has managed to draft a tag teamlike The New Day or two members of the Wyatt Sicks, these make great options for the tag team titles.
An ideal scenario would see the player drafting two tag teams with contrasting styles. For example, Erick Rowan and Joe Gacy are both members of the Wyatt Sicks and provide a perfect match-up for Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston of The New Day. This will create a compelling tag team rivalry that will carry the tag belts forward to the next PLE. The key is then placing these belts on the less popular pairing to offer an additional five popularity per superstar, doubled again for ECW.
Women’s Tag Team Champions
Selecting An Established Women’s Tag Team Works Well Here Also
Operating exactly the same as the Men’s belts, the Women’s Tag Team Champions should be selected based on which two superstars will have the best in-ring chemistry. This means selecting two members of Damage CTRL, Asuka, Kairi Sane, Iyo Sky, or Dakota Kai could provide a great in-ring boost.
Having two pairings of tag teams would be the ideal scenario for the player, with a great counter to the members of Damage CTRL being Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair. Creating this rivalry early on is crucial to developing the tag titles whilst being able to split once the rivalry is complete to compete for singles championships. This makes selecting a pre-existing tag team the best option for theWomen’s Tag Team Championship, available in every brand except ECW.
Men’s Championship Title
Pick A Superstar Looking To Develop For The “Mid-Card Belt”
The fifth and final belt available in MyGM mode is theMen’s Championship Titlebelt, and for players looking to bring their roster to the top of the ratings, choosing the superstar they are looking to develop into a main event talent is a good choice for this title.
The likes of Oba Femi and Trick Williams present compelling options for the men’s championship title, with their comparatively lower in-ring ability. Placing this belt on a lower-level superstar allows them to develop in-ring, generating XP from their matches, but having a title on the line will also improve the match quality, allowing for higher-quality matches from lower-rated superstars. This makesusing the weaker superstars an important tool for the Men’s Championship title inWWE 2K25MyGM mode.
