Maxwell Jacob Friedman will always be one of the most sought after CAWs in these games until he makes the leap to from AEW to WWE someday. It's impossible to imagine somebody so talented missing out on tentpole events like Royal Rumble or WrestleMania forever, put it that way. He's arguably stayed in All Elite too long and could do with a change of scenery to keep him motivated.

You can make it happen in your very own WWE playground in 2K25. Seeing MJF tear it up on Raw or SmackDown in Universe Mode is fun enough, but how about MyRise? Don't sleep on the sneaky pleasures of importing a CAW into the story mode and giving it a bit of oomph. The smug/cocky voice to this year's protagonist fits Friedman down to the ground this year too.

This character model does the man himself proud. It comes pre-armed with two separate attires for you to enjoy, and there's even a nice symmetry between the generic theme KINGIRISH picked for his entrance and the real-life fave. No, it's never going to be exactly the same, but you can use your imaginations to get by due to the lack of customisable tracks in-game.

Seriously, this MJF looks unreal in MyRise, Universe or in general exhibition matches. It holds up well next to even some of the best looking characters in WWE 2K25, and that's saying something. The bar is high generally, so it's awesome that CAWs no longer seem out of place or lower-res like they used to last gen.
