Persona Cards are back in WWE 2K25, bringing alternate versions of superstars that can be unlocked in MyFACTION mode. Unlike regular roster members, these cards are locked behind different in-game challenges, requiring packs, collections, and World Tour completions. If you’re trying to collect them all, this guide will break down exactly how to get each one.
Booker T ‘01 - Collect five Legend Series cards
To unlock Booker T '01, you need to collect five specific cards from the Legends Pack in MyFACTION:
- Stone Cold Steve Austin (‘97)
- Hulk Hogan
- Wade Barrett
- Roddy Piper
- Rick Rude
Once all five are in your collection, Booker T ‘01 becomes available in all modes outside MyFACTION. If you own the Bloodline Edition, you start with 100,000 VC, making it easier to buy most of these cards from the store. If not, you’ll have to grind through packs and Live Events.
Difficulty rating:
- With Bloodline Edition: 3/10 (just a grind)
- Without Bloodline Edition: 6/10 (can get expensive)
CM Punk ‘10 - Complete the Chicago World Tour
Unlocking CM Punk ‘10 requires completing every chapter in the Chicago section of the MyFACTION World Tour. The difficulty here isn’t just in the matches but in the rules Punk enforces:
- Some fights ban running.
- Others restrict specific moves.
- Certain chapters force you to use weaker gold-tier cards against stronger opponents.
It’s a challenge, especially if you get stuck against Ruby-tier cards with bad match conditions. Expect to retry some matches.
Difficulty rating: 4/10
Elite Bray Wyatt - Collect Oddity cards
Bray Wyatt’s Elite Persona returns from WWE 2K24. To unlock him, you need these Oddity cards:
- Firefly Funhouse Sweater
- Lantern
- Rocking Chair
- The Fiend Mask
- The Head Lantern
Oddities have a 15-16% drop rate in packs now (up from under 2% in 2K24), but they’re still a luck-based grind. If you keep pulling duplicates instead of unique items, expect frustration.
Difficulty rating:
- With good RNG: 5/10
- With bad RNG: 7-8/10
Elite Cody Rhodes - World Tour Collection Reward
To get Elite Cody Rhodes, you need all five Arc Cards from the New York chapter in World Tour mode.
This section is brutal. Some matches strip away your ability to run, use finishers, or even pin/sub your opponent. The only reliable method to win is to get a DQ victory by knocking the referee into the corner repeatedly. Without this trick, some matches could take hours to beat.
Difficulty rating:
- With DQ trick: 3/10
- Without DQ trick: 10/10
Elite Rhea Ripley - World Tour Collection Reward
Complete the Boston section in World Tour mode and collect all five Arc Cards. Just remember to actually open the reward packs after finishing Boston, as the unlock won’t trigger until the cards are claimed.
Difficulty rating: 2/10
Elite The Rock - Enter the Locker Code
The Elite The Rock Persona was in WWE 2K24 and is now locked behind a limited-time locker code:
Enter:
ELITEROCK2K25If you enter the code on time, it’s an easy unlock. If you miss it and the card never returns in Live Events, it could become impossible to get.
Difficulty rating:
- If you enter the code: 0/10
- If the code expires: 10/10
Elite Trish Stratus - Collect Oddity cards
To unlock Elite Trish Stratus, collect these Oddity cards:
- Coach’s Whistle
- Cowgirl Hat
- Leather Trench Coat
- "Thank You Trish" T-shirt
- WWE Women’s Championship
Just like Bray Wyatt, this depends on luck when opening packs.
Difficulty rating: 5-7/10 (depending on your luck)
John Cena ‘10 - Complete the Boston World Tour
The Boston section in World Tour mode is easy at first, but one chapter forces you to play five WarGames matches in a row.
If you lose even one match, you restart the whole set. This can turn into a frustrating grind if things don’t go your way.
Difficulty rating: 2/10 (annoying but manageable)
Kelani Jordan ‘23 - Complete the Orlando World Tour
The easiest Persona unlock. Orlando’s World Tour section is made up of 15 quick matches, all of which you can win in seconds.
Difficulty rating: 1/10 (just a grind)
King Booker - Collect Oddity cards
To unlock King Booker, you need these Oddity cards:
- Black Gloves
- Grocery Cart
- King Booker Crown
- Tactical Vest
- WCW TV Championship
Like the other Oddity-based unlocks, expect duplicates and pack grinding.
Difficulty rating: 5-7/10
The Prototype - Complete a MyFACTION Live Event
The Prototype (John Cena’s early gimmick) is available as a Live Event reward.
- You need Booker T ‘01 first to unlock the “You’re the Problem” event.
- In this event, beat Shawn Michaels while completing match objectives.
- The event only runs for a limited time.
This should be easy, but if you miss the event, you might not get another shot.
Difficulty rating: 2/10 (if available)
Rob Van Dam ‘97 - Complete the Philadelphia World Tour
Philadelphia’s World Tour section is table match-heavy, making it one of the fastest grinds. You can literally win some matches in seconds by putting opponents through a table right away.
Difficulty rating: 1/10 (fast grind)
Solo Sikoa (Bloodline Suit) - Log into MyFACTION
Easiest unlock in the game. Just open MyFACTION mode and Solo Sikoa (Bloodline Suit) gets added to your collection.
Difficulty rating: 0/10
Solo Sikoa (Red Bloodline Suit) - Complete the Los Angeles World Tour
The Los Angeles section in World Tour mode has one major requirement—you need CM Punk ‘10 first.
- Once CM Punk ‘10 is unlocked from Chicago, you can return to LA and finish the final chapter.
- Use a MyFACTION card with the Fire Up Payback ability to spam finishers.
Difficulty rating: 3/10
These are all the Persona Cards you can unlock in WWE 2K25 so far. Some require grinding, some depend on pack luck, and a few are just free giveaways if you act fast.
Quickest unlocks:
- Solo Sikoa (Bloodline Suit) – Just log in.
- Elite The Rock – Enter the locker code.
- Kelani Jordan ‘23 – Quickest World Tour section.
Biggest grinds:
- CM Punk ‘10 – Strict rules make Chicago a pain.
- John Cena ‘10 – Five WarGames matches in one go.
- Elite Cody Rhodes – Brutal New York matches without DQ trick.
If you’re collecting them all, focus on the timed unlocks first and work through the easier World Tour sections before tackling the hardest ones.
