If you’ve been smashing buttons in WWE 2K25 since its March launch, you know the vibes. One day you’re hitting a perfect 450 splash, and the next, your superstar is literally clipping through the ring like a ghost. It’s frustrating. But then 2K drops a massive update, and suddenly, everyone is scrambling to see if their favorite glitch finally got the boot.
Let's talk about WWE 2K25 patch 1.07.
Honestly, this wasn't just some "stability and performance" fluff update. It actually brought some meat to the table. We’re talking new belts, a legendary arena, and some very specific fixes for things that were driving the community absolutely nuts.
The Big New Toys: Belts and Arenas
First off, if you’re a fan of the "silver and black" brand, you’re eating good. This patch officially added the new NXT Championship and NXT Women’s Championship designs. You know, the modern ones that match the current TV product. No more feeling like you’re stuck in 2023 when you’re defending the gold in Orlando.
But the real "get out of your seat" moment? The Saturday Night’s Main Event arena.
It’s iconic. It’s nostalgic. And having it as a playable venue—and a PLE template in Universe Mode—is a total game-changer for those of us who like to run old-school shows with modern rosters. Speaking of Universe Mode, the patch also enabled win/loss tracking for everyone. It sounds like a small thing, but for the stat nerds (I say that with love), it makes the mode feel like it actually matters.
Why MyGM Just Got A Whole Lot More Competitive
If you spend more time in the menus of MyGM than in the actual ring, you probably noticed the balancing act just shifted. Patch 1.07 introduced Women’s midcard championships for Raw, SmackDown, and NXT.
Basically, you can now book a Women’s Intercontinental or United States title match.
This is huge because it gives you more ways to build stars without throwing them straight into the world title picture. However, 2K did a bit of "tuning." Since you have more belts to earn points with, they reduced the popularity bonuses for those brands to keep the AI from becoming an unstoppable powerhouse too quickly. It’s a fair trade.
The Fixes You Actually Care About
We’ve all seen it. You finish a chaotic backstage brawl, the screen fades, and... your superstar just vanishes. Gone. Into the void. Well, patch 1.07 supposedly fixed that specific "disappearing superstar" bug.

Here are some other highlights from the fix list:
- Money in the Bank Clipping: No more briefcases melting into the character's leg during certain creation animations.
- The R-Truth/Judgment Day Paradox: There was a weird bug where Judgment Day R-Truth was showing up even if he was supposed to be locked. That’s been cleared up.
- Hell in a Cell Transparency: They tweaked the roof to be more opaque. It looks better, period.
- Rope Breaks in Underground: This one was hilarious. For some reason, the game was calling rope breaks in Underground matches... where there are literally no ropes. That’s fixed.
The "Secret" Stuff 2K Didn't Mention
Here is where it gets interesting. The community—specifically folks over on Reddit and YouTube—found a bunch of stuff that wasn't in the official notes.
We got new moves. Like, actually new animations. There are new barricade diving moves, a standing double stomp, and a shooting star press that feels way smoother than the launch version. There’s also a "Flawless Big Boot" that looks suspiciously like Lash Legend’s signature.
They also added new 4-person entrance and victory motions for American Made. If you’re running a Chad Gable stable, your life just got 100% better.
What Most People Get Wrong About This Patch
A lot of players think every patch is just about fixing bugs. But with WWE 2K25 patch 1.07, 2K used it to sneak in some heavy "quality of life" improvements for the creation suite. For example, they fixed a major issue where the manual camera wouldn't engage properly while you were trying to place images on a custom superstar. If you spend hours making a perfect CAW (Create-A-Wrestler), you know how vital that camera control is.
However, it wasn't all sunshine. Some users reported that the patch actually broke certain custom championship relief parts. It’s the classic "one step forward, two steps back" dance that happens with sports games. If your custom belts look a little "flat" after the update, that’s likely why.

Moving Forward: What To Do Now
If you haven't updated yet, just do it. The stability improvements alone—especially for MyFACTION and MyRISE—are worth the download size.
Pro-tip for Universe Mode players: After installing the patch, go in and double-check your rivalry sliders. Some users mentioned that the "Win Match in 5 Minutes" promo timer works now, but it might reset some of your existing rivalry momentum if you aren't careful.
Check your custom arenas, too. The "venue features" toggle is now available on more screens, which lets you clear out some of the clutter that usually blocks the camera in small, custom gyms. It’s a small tweak that makes those indie-show setups actually playable.
If you’re waiting for the next big drop, keep an eye out for the first DLC pack. Rumor has it the groundwork for those new characters is already hidden in the 1.07 files.
