  • Bloodline Rules: Reflecting the 2024 dominance of The Bloodline (featured prominently, including Roman Reigns on the cover and in Dynasty mode), these are no-disqualification free-for-alls. Victory is achieved via pinfall or submission. Expect interference, weapons, and chaotic referee situations.

  • Intergender Matches: Finally! Superstars from both the men's and women's divisions can clash in this highly anticipated match type.

  • Underground Matches: Blending pro wrestling with MMA, these matches remove the ropes, with other superstars encircling the ring to contain the action. Originally on Raw, they've found a home in NXT.
