WWE 2K25: 10 Best Looking Characters

4. Bronson Reed

WWE 2K25 Jey Uso
2K Games

It's hopefully not too long before Bronson Reed is back in action after suffering a horrific ankle injury at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames last November, with the Thicc Boy on quite the tear prior to that unfortunate incident. In the meantime, though, you can carry on Big Bronson's wrecking spree by piling up the bodies in WWE 2K25.

Visual Concepts have absolutely nailed Reed's likeness in 2K25, and he also happens to be one of the most enjoyable characters to play as. With the game's mechanics meaning the beefier competitors act and feel like, well, beefier competitors, there's a brilliant sense of weightiness to Bronson. If dishing out punishment as the Australian, each blow feels hefty and powerful, while it'll take an opponent a good amount of work to finally get you off your feet.

Considering how fun some of WWE 2K25's more brutal modes are - such as Backstage Brawl, a classic Extreme Rules war, the unique Ambulance Match, or the outright insanity of Bloodline Rules - Bronson Reed is tailormade to be used in such environments. If you want carnage, this former NXT North American Champion is definitely your go-to guy.

Now, let's keep those fingers crossed that it won't be too much longer until Bronson is healed up and wrecking fools on Raw or SmackDown once again. If last year was anything to go by, WWE very much has a potential main event star on their hands.
