Some players diving into WWE 2K25 have stumbled upon some peculiar spelling mishaps on certain wrestlers’ attires. They’re pointing fingers in different directions: some suspect AI upscaling might be the culprit, while others chalk it up to simple human errors. Currently, WWE 2K25 is up for grabs for those who secured the Bloodline or Deadman editions in advance, with the game slated to be available for everyone else on March 14.
As gamers step into the world of WWE 2K25, they’re spotting bizarre spelling blunders on the outfits of some superstars. With its release now in the hands of those who preordered special editions, WWE 2K25 is gearing up for a full launch on March 14. This iteration promises to be one of the most expansive and engaging wrestling titles yet, boasting a massive roster that spans over 300 superstars, drawing from WWE’s rich history both past and present.
As usual, Visual Concepts has been hard at work crafting lifelike representations of wrestlers exactly as fans see them on TV, complete with mostly accurate entrance music and ring gear. WWE 2K25’s character creation suite allows players to alter the wrestlers’ outfits, whether to mirror real-life changes or just for a bit of fun. This custom suite provides a unique close-up view of favorite superstars separate from the usual match chaos.
And it’s here, in this detailed view, that players noticed some strange misspellings on the attire of certain stars, shared on the WWEGames subreddit. One post mentions how CM Punk’s iconic “Best in the World” shirt now mistakenly reads “Best im the World,” thanks to a keen-eyed user named whomtheheckcares. Another post highlights AJ Styles with a “Phenomenal Ons” logo on his ring pants instead of the expected “Phenomenal One,” thanks to BigWeek5182.
There’s a divide among the community about why these errors occur. Some believe the developers might have relied on AI to enhance the wrestlers’ gear images. Others point to rushed human oversight as the potential root cause. Reddit users note that CM Punk’s authentic shirt design features stylization that could confuse an “N” for an “M,” though it’s a bit more pronounced in the digital form. AJ Styles’s logo, too, appears to maintain some design inaccuracies.
Other fans have reported similar issues with misspelled text in the MyGM mode’s fan comments and recalled parallel errors from WWE 2K24, which were unexpectedly fixed in the newest version. As more players get their hands on WWE 2K25 later this week, it stands to reason that they may discover additional examples of these slip-ups.
The game sets itself apart with fresh modes and features such as intergender wrestling, new environments, and a standout Showcase mode centered around the legendary Bloodline dynasty. Whether you’re a fan of current stars, legends, or Hall of Famers, WWE 2K25 offers a monumental roster and incredible gameplay experiences ready to entertain wrestling enthusiasts.
