A Fun Twist on Wrestling History

Ever boot up WWE 2K25 and think, ‘Wait—why does Booker T look like he’s channeling Sting’s Crow-era intensity instead of Harlem Heat swagger? That’s when you know you’ve stumbled across something only the community could dream up. This pack doesn’t just blur the line between parody and tribute—it powerbombs it right through a table. If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if Booker T entered the ring dressed as Sting or if Shawn Michaels went full Hulkamania, the community has you covered.

The newly released Mimic Pack has caught the attention of WWE 2K25 fans across social media, offering a playful re-imagining of legendary ‘tribute’ moments from wrestling’s past.

Before you start searching for it in the in-game store — pump the brakes. This pack isn’t from 2K Games or Visual Concepts. Instead, it’s a community collaboration from creators Jumpman Jado and Apples and Oranges, both known for their high-quality custom models and attires shared under hashtags #MimicPack, #JumpmanJado, and #ApplesAndOranges on X (formerly Twitter).

Who’s Included

The pack currently features:

Each wrestler comes with:

  • Custom attire and renders
  • Unique movesets
  • Accurate signs and taunts from the eras they’re mimicking

These are fan recreations of real-life storylines where wrestlers famously “mpersonated” their rivals — moments that instantly became meme-worthy in WWE history.

Community Reactions

The Mimic Pack has sparked plenty of buzz across Reddit and X. Many players praised how authentic the recreations look, calling Booker T’s Sting-inspired design “badass” and suggesting that these creations would make great career mode unlockables. Others shared laughter and nostalgia, recalling the original rivalries from the 2000s and joking about the potential for even more “mimic” content. The community’s response shows just how much fun and creativity fans are bringing to WWE 2K25.

How to Download

  1. Launch WWE 2K25 on PS5 or Xbox Series X|S.
  2. Go to Online → Community Creations → Downloads.
  3. Search using any of these hashtags:
    #MimicPack #JumpmanJado #ApplesAndOranges
  4. Download each superstar and save them to your roster.

(As with all community uploads, make sure your console’s cross-platform sharing setting is enabled.)

Final Bell

The Mimic Pack isn’t an official 2K DLC, but it perfectly captures the creative spirit that keeps the WWE 2K community alive. Booker T, a five-time WCW Champion turned WWE legend, channels Sting’s iconic Crow persona here. Shawn Michaels, known as “The Heartbreak Kid,” mirrors Hulk Hogan in a playful nod to their infamous 2005 feud, while CM Punk takes on Jeff Hardy’s look from their heated 2009 rivalry. Whether you’re looking to relive those tongue-in-cheek feuds or simply expand your roster, this unofficial drop adds a dash of nostalgia — and chaos — to your locker room.
