WWE 2K25: Every New Tag Team Move

It’s always so satisfying whenever you perform a tag team move in a WWE 2K game. With how impressive WWE 2K25 looks, hitting those tag team moves is even more satisfying this year. Here’s every new tag team move in the game and how to perform them.

Assisted Headbutt 

Easily one of the funniest tag team moves I’ve ever seen, with the opponent staggered on the turnbuckle, you can trigger a move where the partners tag each other, after which the superstar in the ring throws the opponent headfirst into the head of their partner, which naturally knocks them down. Afterward, both partners headbutt each other before the active superstar steps into the ring to resume the match. It’s hilarious, and as a fan of WWE, I think this move is best suited for Samoan superstars, as it is a fact in WWE lore that headbutting a Samoan is a bad idea.

Assisted Savate Kick

This one looks devastating. After initiating the tag, the formerly legal wrestler holds the opponent upright while the legal athlete delivers a devastating kick to the head that floors the opponent. It looks very smooth.

Assisted Tongan Twist

One of the few new tag team moves available from the start of the game. The Assisted Tongan Twist looks like hell on the spines of everyone involved. Both superstars have their opponent in a horizontal position, face up, with one holding their legs and the other holding their head. They then fall sideways in an exaggerated manner, which causes some significant damage to the opponent’s head and mild damage to the torso, and even leads to a follow-up pin animation. It’s a fun-looking move, though not the best on the list.

Cornered Pommelling

For this move, after the tag is initiated, both superstars get into the ring and repeatedly pound their opponent’s head and torso with their forearms until he ends up on the floor. They then flex for the crowd. It’s a great, natural, simple-looking move that just works for all kinds of superstars on the roster. 

DDT/Wheelbarrow Suplex 2

Complicated and painful is the only way to describe this move. With your opponent in the corner, one of the superstars hits them hard with a forearm to the jaw that drops them, after which the opponent is held in a horizontal position, facing down with their legs with one superstar and their head with the other. The superstar holding the opponent’s head performs a DDT before kicking the opponent to their partner with their legs. He finishes the move with a wheelbarrow-style suplex.

Each phase of this move smoothly takes place one after the other and causes damage to both the head and torso of the opponent. It’s so complicated and looks so devastating that it could easily be assigned as a tag team finisher. The best part is that it’s unlocked from the start of the game.

Flapjack Hotshot

One superstar springs the opponent off the ropes and uses the momentum to throw them upwards and backward toward their partner, who is waiting on the apron to drive the opponent into the top rope throat-first. It’s a simple move that you can perform to eat away at your opponent’s damage bar during the match. 

Stereo Double Chops

Both wrestlers deliver simultaneous knife-edge chops to an opponent’s chest, creating a thunderous impact. The impact looks heavy as they bounce the opponent off the ropes and use the momentum to drive the simultaneous chops into the opponent’s torso, sending them crashing into the canvas.

Stereo Faceplant 1

This move closely resembles The Miz’s Skull-Crushing Finale finisher, except two people perform it instead of one. The tag partners stand on either side of their victim and drive them face-first into the canvas. This move does significant damage to your opponent’s head and decent damage to the torso.

Stereo Headbutts 2

Another one that would work great for a pair of Samoans. Easy and practical, both superstars headbutt their opponent simultaneously on either side of their head. As far as tag team moves go, it’s not flashy or elaborate or complicated, it’s just a double headbutt. However, it is more complex than the stereo headbutts 3, as the tag partners forcefully throw the opponent to the center of the ring before performing the move. 

Stereo Headbutts 3

There are many similarities between this move and the “2” version. However, for this move, the dazed opponent is slowly led to the center of the ring rather than forcefully thrown there before the move is performed. Ultimately it is a great move to have for a more diverse moveset and better match ratings.

Stereo Stomps

This is another one of those brutal-looking moves that work well for heel characters, as it seems only to torture the opponent. First, the opponent takes a hard chop to the chest, then repeats kicks to the midsection by both superstars that slowly fold them from a standing position until they’re curled up on the floor. It looks devastating and naturally deals significant torso damage.

Stereo Uso Splash

This move is easily recognizable as it has been the Usos’ tag team finisher for over a decade. It starts with a simultaneous super kick, leaving the opponent flattened in the center of the ring. The tag team partners then climb opposite top turnbuckles and deliver a simultaneous splash that will surely deal significant damage.

Wheelbarrow Cutter

The wheelbarrow cutter is another elaborate tag team move that could serve as a finisher. One superstar holds the opponent in the wheelbarrow position while the other runs by and performs an RKO-like move on the opponent. The RKO is one of the most iconic finishers in WWE history and arguably the most iconic in the past three decades, so naturally, the wheelbarrow cutter is one of the best moves on this list. The wheelbarrow cutter doesn’t need to be unlocked, as it is available from the start of the game. 

Whirlwind Splash

The whirlwind splash looks simple but effective. With the opponent flat on the canvas, one of the tag partners picks up the other in the fireman carry position before tossing them in a whirly aerial maneuver, ending with the airborne tag partner landing a splash on the downed opponent. From a storyline or immersion standpoint, this move would work brilliantly if assigned to and performed by a tag team with a big powerhouse superstar and a lighter, high-flying athlete. 

Whirlybird

The Whirlybird is easily one of the most devastating moves on this list. It just flat-out looks like it hurts. The tag partners carry their opponent in a position where they’re sitting on their shoulders. They then toss their victim forward to gain more momentum before ultimately slamming them back and headfirst onto the canvas. It’s a big-finish type move that works as a tag team finisher.

Note: Most of these moves are locked at the start of the game, and you will have to play through the game to unlock them all.
