WWE 2K25: 12 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You
12. Expand The WWE Archives Brawl Area To Get An Exclusive Weapon
The NXT parking lot, as much a harbinger of doom as circa-2025 Jon Moxley fancies himself to be, is the better of WWE 2K25's new backstage brawl settings - on one merit.
Glass.
Real glass.
The bloodcurdling material that cost CM Punk his AEW career is present in both brawl areas, though it is only of note in the parking lot: a scaffold in the vicinity is climbable, with a pane of glass across four chairs set up for punishment below. If you wish to use glass in the WWE Archives, it is found only in the case of a few glass frames, which isn't nearly as fun as recreating Combat Zone Wrestling lore.
WWE's vault can also be expanded upon further than just shelves of boxes, as a portion of a cage wall can be knocked down, granting the player deeper access. This can be attained by whipping your opponent into the steel, which will then fall to the ground.
Brawling in this area will also provide a new, area-exclusive weapon, as a tombstone can be interacted with and smashed over heads. Other areas here include the WWE scratch logo that formerly sat atop the stage, the Statue of Liberty display from WrestleMania 29, and a coffin: regrettably, interacting with such objects is impossible.
