Unlock nostalgia with AJ Styles’ Retro Persona Card in WWE 2K25 MyFaction using this step-by-step guide

Nostalgia just hit WWE 2K25 MyFaction. Players now have the chance to unlock a Retro Persona Card for AJ Styles—complete with his iconic TNA theme. The hype kicked off when the New 1.24 Patch was datamined by Status on X, revealing that AJ was on the way. Then Smacktalks on X shared the full path, outlining the Live Events required to secure him. This marks one of the biggest nostalgia-driven rewards in the mode so far, but there’s still no exact release date for when it will officially go live. That uncertainty only adds to the hype, making players even more eager to see when AJ Retro finally hits the game.

Here’s a reworked step-by-step breakdown of how to unlock AJ Styles’ Retro Persona Card in WWE 2K25 MyFaction:

Step 1
Start by picking up four essential cards from the Eras Card Packs: Elite Trish Stratus, Elite Jey Uso, “Undashing” Cody Rhodes, and Bayley Mutiny.

Step 2
Take the Elite Trish Stratus card into the  Queen Figures Live Event. Beating this event rewards you with a Drew McIntyre card.

Step 3
Use the Drew McIntyre card you just earned to complete the Nightmare Figures Live Event. Your prize this time is a Gunther card.

Step 4
Now pair up Gunther with the Elite Jey Uso card in the Yeet General  Live Event. Winning here unlocks a special Randy Orton ‘09 card.

Step 5
Take Randy Orton ‘09 along with “Undashing” Cody Rhodes into the  Legacy And The Never Seen  Live Event. Completing it earns you Roman Reigns ‘22 (Brawl).

Step 6
Bring Roman Reigns ‘22 (Brawl) into the Chiefs In Street Clothes Live Event. The reward is a Giulia card.

Step 7
Next, play the Legends And Protégés Live Event using Giulia to secure a Booker T ‘01 card.

Step 8
Finally, use Booker T ‘01 in the Total Impact Live Event. Clearing it unlocks the AJ Styles Retro Persona Card.

After working through all eight stages, AJ Styles Retro will join your collection—complete with his TNA entrance theme, making it one of the most nostalgic rewards in WWE 2K25.

Fans are already wondering which Retro Persona Cards could be next. If this drop is any indication, MyFaction is leaning heavily into nostalgia, and that could mean more legends, alternate personas, and classic themes making their way back into the game. For now, players will need to stay patient—there’s still no confirmed release date for this drop, but the roadmap suggests more reveals could be right around the corner. And hey, when it finally does arrive, don’t be surprised if it feels like one of those family cookouts—you came for one plate, but by the end you’re holding three, trying not to spill while still looking cool. That’s the kind of energy AJ Retro is bringing to MyFaction.
