WWE 2K25 Dunk & Destruction Pack Brings NBA Legends to the Ring
The Dunk & Destruction Pack drops new characters that seamlessly blend high-impact basketball talent with the theatrical carnage of WWE.

Tyrese Haliburton, fresh off leading the Indiana Pacers to their first NBA Finals in a quarter-century as the 2024 assists leader, adds modern finesse to this powerful roster. Jalen Brunson, the two-time NBA All-Star and Knicks captain, isn’t just here to play—his on-screen SmackDown altercation with Haliburton skillfully bridges WWE drama and NBA rivalry.
