WWE 2K25 will feature blood mechanics in women’s matches for the first time without requiring modifications. WWE Creative Director Lynell Jinks discussed the feature during an interview with DS of Ring the Belle.
Being able to like in women versus women matches, not intergender matches. You can not only, like, cut someone open and see some color on women Superstars, but also bruising, too. If you’re pounding somebody, you’ll start to see bruises on their face or on their body or whatever. Making sure that we’re trying to represent the WWE you would see on TV, like when Becky Lynch got her moniker, right? That’s how it started. That broken nose from Nia, right? So, being able to finally see that in our game is huge for us

The addition comes alongside the Underground Match, a match type featured in NXT. While intergender matches return to the game series, blood effects will remain exclusive to matches between competitors of the same gender.
The feature reflects recent WWE programming, with Liv Morgan sustaining a visible injury during a tag team match with Raquel Rodriguez against IYO SKY and Dakota Kai on RAW.
