How to unlock all arenas in WWE 2K25

WWE 2K25 has a few arenas for you to visit, and this article will cover how to unlock them all. Arenas may not matter to the average audience member, but these small areas are a character of their own and add depth to the ongoing rivalries and storylines. History is written whenever a pair of wrestlers goes up in that small ring and exchange blows as they assert dominance.

To unlock all arenas, you must play through several game modes, such as Showcase and MyRISE. Unlocking the arenas will take you a while, but hardcore wrestling fans will take this as a challenge and savor every moment.
