WWE 2K25 Saturday Night’s Main Event Pack DLC Steps Into the Ring

Jesse Ventura, “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff, Tito Santana, Junkyard Dog, and Sid Justice, plus an array of new moves and taunts, available today 

Today, WWE 2K25 welcomes five unforgettable Superstars of WWE’s golden age in the new Saturday Night’s Main Event Pack, the fifth and final DLC character pack* for the highest rated game in franchise history on Xbox**. 

The 1980s, often called the “Golden Era” or “Rock ‘n’ Wrestling Connection Era,” saw WWE grow into a global entertainment phenomenon, in part due to the popularity of Saturday Night’s Main Event, a series of television specials featuring top Superstars battling for championships and competing in unique stipulation matches, cementing the cornerstone of the powerhouse brand WWE has become today. WWE Superstars of that era were truly iconic, larger than life, and memorable for decades to come. The Saturday Night’s Main Event Pack features five of those legendary Superstars – Jesse Ventura, “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff, Tito Santana, Junkyard Dog, and Sid Justice – alongside over 60 new moves and taunts. 

The Saturday Night’s Main Event Pack includes MyFACTION cards for each new Superstar. The pack is available for individual purchase, or as part of the WWE 2K25 Season Pass, Ringside Pass, and in the Farewell Tour Edition, Bloodline Edition and Deadman Edition

Jesse Ventura, often known as “The Body,”was one of the first and most prominent WWE Superstars to make the crossover into Hollywood movies, leveraging his imposing physique and distinctive voice to portray colourful, tough characters in action blockbusters. A celebrated in-ring performer and commentator, Ventura is both a WWE Hall of Famer and former governor of Minnesota.

In an era of impressive physical specimens, few could boast the musculature of “Mr. Wonderful” Paul Orndorff, who utilised the devastating piledriver finisher to great effect. At the first-ever WrestleMania, “Mr. Wonderful” made history, teaming up with “Rowdy” Roddy Piper to take on Hulk Hogan and Mr. T in the main event. After his WWE career came to an end, Orndorff went on to capture the WCW World Television Championship and became a two-time WCW World Tag Team Champion, before being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

A two-time Intercontinental Champion, two-time WWE Tag Team Champion, and WWE Hall of Famer, the perennially heroic Tito Santana is one of the most beloved Superstars of the 1980s and 1990s. Among his many accolades, Santana competed in the opening match at the first-ever WrestleMania, and won the 1989 King of the Ring tournament. Utilising the flying forearm smash finisher and figure-four leglock, Santana could excite fans in the air and on the mat, and in a seat at the Spanish announce table, entertained with his commentary as well.

Among a class of unforgettable WWE Legends, Junkyard Dog still managed to stand out. Often barking, biting the air, and crawling on all fours, Junkyard Dog struck an entertaining appearance before he even locked horns with his opponent. But when he did, he stood toe to toe with the biggest and the best, absorbing offence with seemingly little effect and dishing out punishment with headbutts and his crushing “Thump” powerslam finisher. A WWE Hall of Famer, Junkyard Dog also captured the WCW World Six-Man Tag Team Championship and a Slammy Award for “Best Single Performer.”

Last but certainly not least, the massive Sid Justice stood at 6’9” (205.74 cm) andpunished opponents with his mastery of the powerbomb finisher. Making appearances in WWE, WCW and ECW, Sid took on many of the most prominent names in WWE history, including Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Mankind, The Undertaker, and The Dudley Boyz. He became a two-time WWE Champion, two-time WCW World Heavyweight Championship, and a WCW United States Heavyweight Champion, proving himself a dominant force everywhere he appeared.

Upcoming MyFACTION Live Event rewards, available to all players, will include a Persona Card of the WrestleMania 41 version of Penta. Also, the MyFACTION Galaxy Opal Token Market will open soon, offering powerful new cards to add to players’ collections.
