WWE 2K25 Early Reviews: 13 Major Details We Learned

Giants will be invincible and unbeatable in WWE 2K25...

...unless you exhaust their secondary health bar.

Indeed, the squared circle's largest foes will have a purple health bar on their HUD that must be emptied before their primary green bar can begin being worked upon. This will work as it has always done: be consistent with your attacks. Giants, at first, will shrug you off harder than Antonio Inoki ignoring a Luke Gallows chop if you dare to grab them, while they will also remain standing, albeit teetering, if you perform a strike which would traditionally knock an opponent down. Depleting the purple bar, though, will make them more susceptible to these attacks and, eventually, they'll tumble.

This is most notable in gameplay footage of Nia Jax and Lyra Valkyria's Queen of the Ring finals within Showcase Mode. As was the case in reality, Nia will prove her 'Irresistible Force' handle true, being immune to Lyra's offence. Expect similar gameplay when targeting Yokozuna, Andre The Giant, Rikishi, and other larger-than-life bullies.
