In the world of wrestling, there aren’t many jaw-dropping moments that can compete with a ring break. In WWE 2K25, it’s no different to the spot that provides an incredible scene of destruction as part of a PLE or a weekly episode of Raw or Smackdown.
Some iterations of WWE games haven’t contained the option to destroy the ring. In WWE 2K25, performing a ring break is back, much to the delight of fans wanting to create maximum carnage inside the virtual squared circle. The move can be triggered across several game modes, including The Island, giving the perfect opportunity to create some striking moments.
With that said, find out how to break the ring in WWE 2K25 to create a show-stopping moment of your own.
How To Break Ring In WWE 2K25, Explained

The most important factor when performing a WWE 2K25 ring break is to select the right members of the roster. Only the heaviest wrestlers will cause the squared circle to implode when their bodies hit the canvas.
With the right superstars in the ring, take them up to the top turnbuckle and perform a suplex. This is the only move that will trigger a collapse. Here’s what players need to do in order to hoist their opponent onto the top rope:
- Irish Whip the opponent into the corner.
- Lift them onto the top turnbuckle.
- Press the Grab move button.
The wrestler on the receiving end of the suplex must be in the super heavyweight category to have any chance of a ring break occurring. As a result, this does limit the number of wrestlers that are capable of causing maximum destruction inside the arena.
Which Superstars Can Break The Ring In WWE 2K25?
With so many wrestlers to choose from, it can be tricky to determine which ones are capable of breaking the ring. Thankfully, we’ve done all the research and the list below has all of the known superstars that can destroy the squared circle with ease:
- Andre the Giant
- Braun Strowman
- Bronson Reed
- Ivar
- Otis
- Rikishi
- Umaga
- Vader
- Yokozuna
Thanks to the content roadmap, we expect the number of wrestlers who possess the strength to perform a top-rope suplex to grow as new DLCs arrive throughout the WWE 2K25 cycle. When those names arrive, we’ll be sure to update the page with the latest wrestlers.
Before you start lifting Bronson Reed to the top rope, it’s worth noting that not all match types have the ability to trigger a ring break. In matches where a specific objective is active, such as a Royal Rumble or Ladder match, the ring will not break no matter how hard you try.
Once the ring crashes to the ground, the match will end and declare you the winner in a way that’s much more spectacular than a standard pinfall or submission.
