WWE 2K25 Hall of Legends: First Look at Goldberg Sparks Fan Backlash Over Model

Those suspicions were first fueled by Status on X and Legendgames2k on Youtube, who shared the initial look at Goldberg’s entrance, and Witty , who uncovered files pointing to both Goldberg and Nikki Bella. The leaks hinted they were tied to the Island-exclusive Hall of Legends expansion story, ‘Among The Legends.’ Now, 2K has officially confirmed the news: players will need to redeem 50K VC to play through the expansion, unlocking Goldberg, Nikki Bella, and additional Create-A-Superstar parts.

That announcement hasn’t stopped debate. Fans quickly zeroed in on the model itself, with reactions like: ‘2025 face, 2004 body, 1998 attire. Another 2K miss.’ Another wrote, ‘Same entrance lol same model,’ while one added, ‘Same model with different trons and weird ass facial hair.’ Others felt the presentation looked dated, with comments like, ‘Those guards are straight out of the 2K17 port lmao,’ and, ‘So… modern Goldberg with WCW trunks? Lmao.’

For MyFaction collectors, however, this solidifies what the leaks had already hinted at—Goldberg isn’t just an entrance reveal. With the Hall of Legends expansion, he’s locked in as one of WWE 2K25’s marquee Legend cards. And man, you already know the grind is about to get real—players are gonna be out here sweating VC like it’s rent money, cracking jokes, and still chasing that unlock because when Goldberg shows up, everybody wants a piece.

That’s exactly why fans are split—some roasting the model, others grinding anyway. His presence keeps the chatter alive and the grind going strong.
