Barry Zebrecks Universe Mode

[teal phoenix]

Here are the current rosters for Season One of our Universe Mode. We used a draft pool of active or “feasibly active” superstars combined with the tag teams and factions already existing within 2K25. There were exceptions (no faction picks with “megastars”, such as the OG Bloodline or adding The Vision). All factions came together as one draft pick unless specified otherwise by the draftee.

All active superstars that were not drafted and already a part of the 2K25 roster, have been drafted to NXT.

Who do you think came out on top with the better roster out of the draft?

It’ll be Charlotte Flair, Giulia, Lyra Valkyria, Roxanne Perez, Jordynne Grace… and Sol Ruca, who was brought out to face Charlotte in an impromptu match.
