Strange Issue Plagues The Rock in WWE 2K25

WWE 2K25 has introduced an amusing bug that has caught the attention of many fans. During The Rock’s signature move, The People’s Elbow, players might notice something peculiar—The Rock’s elbow seemingly vanishes into thin air.

This installment of WWE 2K25 boasts an impressive roster of 365 wrestlers, which includes DLC characters that aren’t yet accessible. Among these, you’ll find six different versions of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, spanning his illustrious career. These range from his early days in 1996 as Blue Chipper Rocky Maivia to his 2001 look and an action figure-inspired version complete with movable joints and his iconic raised eyebrow. Fans can also unlock a special Final Boss version that debuted in 2024.

As fans eagerly await the game’s full launch on March 14th—and some early adopters who’ve snagged the Deadman or Bloodline editions are already diving in—they’ve discovered a quirky issue with The Rock’s character model. As he prepares to execute The People’s Elbow, he removes his elbow pad only to reveal a mysteriously transparent bicep. This leaves his forearm appearing as if it’s disconnected, floating independently around the ring. Reddit user ConstructionSpare367 highlighted this glitch with a humorous screenshot, sparking plenty of discussions.

This unusual glitch has given players a sense of déjà vu, reminding them of the invisible Super Cena from WWE 2K23. In that version, a see-through John Cena emerged as a tongue-in-cheek nod to his iconic “You can’t see me” catchphrase. Players could interact with aspects of Cena’s attire, like his hat and shorts, but his body was nowhere to be found.

Meanwhile, some fans are drawing parallels between this missing elbow and the current WWE storylines. With John Cena gearing up for a major match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41, after a dramatic turn of events at the Elimination Chamber, some speculate that The People’s Elbow may no longer be in the game due to its symbolic significance. This narrative twist has left fans wondering if The Rock’s maneuver was intentionally left out by a developer with a keen sense of humor.

As WWE 2K25 gears up for its official release, this bug has added an unexpected layer of intrigue and excitement. Whether it’s a glitch or a clever Easter egg, it sure has people talking and eagerly anticipating what’s next in the evolving storyline both in the ring and in the game.
