WWE 2K25: 10 Best Looking Characters

3. Jacob Fatu

WWE 2K25 Jey Uso
2K Games

Speaking of wrecking fools, does anybody do that better than WWE's Jacob Fatu? Likely not.

For those 'in the know', the Samoan Werewolf was one of pro wrestling's best-kept secrets for years. In the likes of Major League Wrestling and House of Glory, Fatu had constantly wowed with his smash-mash style of brutal attacks and ridiculous athleticism.

It's an overdone cliche to say how Wrestler A's athleticism belies his size, but that is undeniably the case for Jacob. While he may not be a 6'6" giant, Fatu is a solid 280 lbs of frenzied offense, pulling off outrageous high-flying moves that one would usually expect from a Rey Mysterio or a Je'Von Evans.

Considering that WWE 2K25 is Jacob Fatu's video game debut, one could argue that he's the most visually impressive debutant in wrestling game history. It's not just the overall Fatu 'look' that Visual Concepts nailed here, but they've also managed to magnificently capture the general menace of the former MLW World Champion. When seeing Jacob head to the ring and step between the ropes, you feel like he's about to do something truly vicious and savage to whichever poor sap happens to be standing across from him. And much like Bronson Reed, it's a daft amount of fun to play as Fatu and just cause all kinds of brutality.
