WWE 2K25: How to Unlock Scott Steiner, Explained

There are several legendary wrestlers to choose from across several WWE 2K25 match types. Whether you’re a fan of the Attitude Era or prefer some ruthless aggression, there are enough superstars to suit fans from across the decades. Players can expand the roster even further by playing through the various game modes.

As a singles and tag team wrestler, Scott Steiner is one of the most recognizable faces to ever step foot inside the squared circle. In WWE 2K24, the only way to add Big Poppa Pump to the roster was through frustrating microtransactions. Thankfully, the unlock process in this year’s game is different.

How To Unlock WWE 2K25 Scott Steiner

The 2003 version of Scott Steiner is available to unlock through WWE 2K25‘s MyRISE mode, along with several other wrestling legends. Complete with the iconic entrance music and chainmail headgear, this version of Steiner is arguably the most recognizable attire Big Poppa Pump has used throughout his career.

With that said, find out the steps required to add Scott Steiner to your roster of superstars:

• Play through MyRISE and reach Chapter 9.
• This chapter features the most important choices that will trigger the option to unlock Steiner.
• Complete the Survivor Series sequence to access the two choices. Either continue with the male character for the Reclaim ending or the female character for the Conquer ending.
• Pick the Reclaim ending.
• Work through the matches and cutscenes to access another choice where you can recruit WWE Legends, recruit Indie wrestlers, or recruit MyPlayer characters from previous WWE 2K games.
• Pick the Legends and meet Diamond Dallas Page and Tris Stratus. Pick either ALundra Blayze or Scott Steiner to grapple with.
• Complete the chapter and add Scott Steiner, DDP, and Alundra Blayze to the roster.

Is Scott Steiner Worth Unlocking In WWE 2K25?

For fans of 90s wrestling, adding Big Poppa Pump to the roster is a must. The professor of Steiner Math possesses incredible power and a moveset that’s perfect for dealing huge damage to any opponent standing across the ring. Considering how easy it is to unlock him, it makes perfect sense to add him to the 350-plus superstars available.

With Steiner no longer locked behind microtransactions, it’s great to see 2K Games add such a wide range of wrestlers, male and female, to its lineup. From a fantasy booking perspective, seeing Big Poppa Pump face off against the likes of Braun Strowman and Bronson Reed is a hugely exciting prospect.
