WWE 2K25 is just around the corner and the entire roster has already been announced for the base game, but there has been no announcement on the future DLC packs as of yet.
Recently TNA World Champion Joe Hendry pitched a potential TNA Wrestling DLC pack for WWE 2K25, built off the back of the two companies multi-year partnership.
2008’s TNA iMPACT was the last time we saw the stars of the promotion featured in a console video game, but WWE 2K25 may be about to change that.
Let’s take a look at which names could appear as part of a Total Nonstop Action DLC Pack for WWE 2K25.
10. Ron Killings
Before R-Truth became R-Truth he was K-Krush in TNA, before later establishing himself under his real name Ron Killings.
Debuting in the promotion in its maiden year of 2002, after three years in the WWF as ‘K-Kwik’, Truth hit the ground running and reached the top of the company just two months after debuting.
Shockingly in August 2002 he became NWA World Champion, defeating inaugural champion Ken Shamrock. While he is known for his comedy antics in 2025 back then he portrayed a very different character, and it would be great to showcase that in WWE 2K25.
But he would not be the only WWE contracted TNA legend that could appear in the game…

9. Abyss
The Monster Abyss has been signed to WWE since 2019 but has only briefly appeared on TV as AJ Styles’ statistician in 2020, instead his WWE tenure has consisted of producing awesome WWE matches from behind-the-scenes.
While he has become a fixture of WWE off camera, he is most fondly remembered by fans for his lengthy run in TNA Wrestling.
From 2002 to 2017 Abyss dominated the promotion, winning almost every accolade available to him during that time.
If there’s anyone that absolutely needs to be included in the TNA DLC Pack for WWE 2K25, it should be Abyss.

8. The Rascalz
The Rascalz have featured a collection of different members over the years, with Wes Lee and Myron Reed once belonging to the team, but now it’s only Zachary Wentz and Trey Miguel carrying them forward in both TNA and recently WWE NXT.
Their prominence in modern TNA and NXT makes them a shoo-in for WWE 2K25 if TNA DLC is to be added.
If this was to happen it would be a particularly great moment for Wentz, who was originally planned to feature in WWE 2K22 as DLC when he was previously signed to a WWE contract.
His inclusion would be scrapped before that DLC saw the light of day however, as he was released from his contract with WWE two months before its planned release.

7. Santino Marella
Santino Marella, father of NXT Star Arianna Grace, has been the authority on TNA Impact for two years now and is regularly featured on their programming as a result.
His role even saw him recently make an appearance on NXT TV in a segment with NXT General Manager Ava, a very welcome return for someone who was one of WWE’s most beloved characters over a decade ago.
Given his legacy in WWE, in which he captured the Intercontinental, United States and Tag Team Championships, his inclusion in WWE 2K25 should be considered, regardless of his involvement in TNA at present.
However, given his prominence in TNA, he would truly be a no brainer if the 2K release DLC for the promotion in WWE 2K25.

6. Matt Cardona
Based on Matt Cardona’s social media activity and recent interview comments it certainly seems like he is looking for a way back into WWE.
Absolutely, the husband of current WWE Women’s United States Champion Chelsea Green can look back on both a great career in WWE and in TNA.
Even though he has yet to appear on the WWE program since the WWE/TNA deal was signed, his past with the company might give him a spot in the videogame still.
Whether he appears as Zack Ryder or and Matt Cardona it’d be nice to see Long Island Iced Z back in a WWE video game once again.

5. The System
The X-Division Champion Moose recently appeared on NXT to challenge the NXT Champion Oba Femi. However, his faction The System has been around in TNA for quite some time already.
Former WWE Tag Team Champion Brian Myers is part of the group, as well as former record-time TNA Tag Team Champion Eddie Edwards.
Edwards’ wife Alisha Edwards – a former TNA Knockouts Tag Team Champion – and JDC, the former Fandango, complete this dominating faction.
The latter is no stranger to WWE video games, last appearing in WWE 2K22 as Fandango, and is another TNA star who crossed over to WWE NXT recently – facing NXT Heritage Cup Champion Lexis King. As you can see The System is ready to take over NXT and perhaps WWE 2K25 next.

4. The Hardys
Need I say more? Jeff and Matt are probably the most requested names since the TNA deal was signed, being bonafide legends in both TNA and particularly WWE.
Naturally, this makes them a no brainer to include in a potential TNA DLC Pack for WWE 2K25.
Just this past week the No Quarter Catch Crew called The Hardys out for a tag team match, so there is every chance they could get scanned for the game along with others from the TNA roster.
The Hardys tying up with some of WWE’s best current teams and familiar legends in 2K25 is something many fans will appreciate, so WWE should find a way to make it happen.

3. TNA Knockouts World Champion Masha Slamovich
The current TNA Knockout’s Champion Masha Slamovich absolutely must be a featured name if there is gonna be a TNA DLC.
Not only has she been dominating the entire indie scene around the world, but she also has set sights on NXT’s Cora Jade before, with the pair set to face at TNA Sacrifice next month.
The Russian Dynamite is one of the most promising female talents outside of WWE and would be super fun to control in a WWE game given her incredible moves.
Expect to see more of Slamovich on WWE TV in the coming year and perhaps in video game form on WWE 2K25.

2. AJ Styles
Along with R-Truth mentioned earlier in this list AJ Styles is of course already confirmed to feature in WWE 2K25 and has been a staple of the game and WWE as a whole since debuting at the 2016 Royal Rumble.
Nevertheless, his biggest impact, pun absolutely intended, came during his time in TNA.
This was where AJ Styles became AJ Styles, winning every championship several times over – most of the time with his beloved “Get Ready to Fly” entrance theme.
Let’s hope WWE, 2K and TNA made this once-in-a-lifetime deal and put the TNA version of AJ Styles in the game complete with this song and old school presentation.

1. TNA World Champion Joe Hendry
I have to admit, I believe in Joe Hendry!
And who doesn’t? I think there would be a little revolt if the 2K developers do not find a way to feature Joe Hendry in the game.
Unquestionably one of the most popular wrestlers on the planet right now, the TNA World Champion has made several appearances on WWE programs in the last 365 days, including NXT and this year’s Royal Rumble.
There ain’t no way Joe Hendry is not part of this year’s game if a TNA DLC pack is announced, with Hendry likely a huge reason such a pack would exist in the first place.
