WWE 2K25 has finally arrived for early-access players who pre-ordered the Bloodline or Deadman Editions, and while the game delivers an action-packed experience, it’s also unintentionally entertaining fans in another way—hilarious typos on superstar ring gear.
Visual Concepts aimed for authenticity with a roster of over 300 superstars, but some eagle-eyed players have spotted some glaring (and laughable) spelling mistakes on wrestler attire. From CM Punk’s "Best im the World" shirt to AJ Styles’ "Phenomenal Ons" pants, these errors have become an unexpected highlight in the community.
Superstars Hit by the Typo Bomb
The game features an extensive character creation suite, allowing players to craft custom superstars and tweak existing ones. However, as players explore the customization menus, some have found text errors on official superstar outfits—a rare but humorous oversight in a franchise that prides itself on realism.
CM Punk’s “Best im the World” Mishap
CM Punk’s long-awaited return to WWE 2K25 was met with excitement, but fans quickly noticed something off about his iconic t-shirt. Instead of his signature phrase "Best in the World," the shirt displays "Best im the World."
This discovery, made by Reddit user whomtheheckcares, sparked a wave of memes and discussions online. While a small detail, it’s hard to ignore for long-time fans who recognize CM Punk’s legendary slogan.
AJ Styles’ “Phenomenal Ons” Blunder
AJ Styles, known for his "Phenomenal One" moniker, found himself at the center of another typo. According to Reddit user BigWeek5182, the text on his ring gear reads "Phenomenal Ons" instead of "Phenomenal One."
For a superstar whose entire persona revolves around the word phenomenal, this typo is both ironic and amusing. Some players joked that "Ons" might be a new faction or a hidden Easter egg.
What’s Causing These Typos? AI vs. Human Error
Fans have been debating the root cause of these errors. Theories range from AI upscaling mishaps to good old-fashioned human oversight.
- AI Upscaling Theory: Some believe WWE 2K25 may have used AI tools to enhance textures, leading to misinterpreted letters. AI-generated upscaling often struggles with certain fonts, potentially explaining why "N" became "M" on CM Punk’s shirt and why AJ Styles’ gear got mangled.
- Human Error: Others argue that simple design mistakes during the development process are to blame. Wrestling gear features intricate designs, and even small misalignments or font distortions can lead to unexpected typos.
Several fans also noted that CM Punk’s real-life shirt has a stylized font where the "N" could resemble an "M", meaning this might have been an honest misunderstanding rather than a direct error.
