Understanding the Devil’s Kiss Move in WWE 2K25

WWE 2K25 just dropped its first DLC, the New Wave Pack—adding four fresh faces and some Island stuff. Now, everyone’s buzzing about Stephanie Vaquer. She’s this NXT dynamo who’s been making waves in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and had a quick AEW spree. I mean, you can’t miss her. Devil horns on her gear and this intense vibe that just grabs you, ya know?

After she hopped on board with WWE in 2024, she just went wild on the NXT women’s scene. She nabbed both the NXT Women’s Championship and the NXT Women’s North American Championship, like, almost immediately. So, yeah, she’s in the New Wave Pack, duh. And of course, fans love her for The Devil’s Kiss. If you haven’t seen it, well, you’re missing out.

That move, The Devil’s Kiss—wild name, right?—think a scissor-hold head slam. She wraps ‘em up with her legs and bam—their head hits the canvas hard. Fans went nuts over it. Even Booker T can’t help but crack up when she pulls this off during matches. So now, anyone diving into the WWE 2K25 can give it a shot too—there’s a catch, though.

Weirdly enough, it’s not marked as one of her official moves in the game. Why? Beats me. But, folks figured it out. Put your opponent sitting, get behind them, and hit Grapple. Voilà! You’ve got The Devil’s Kiss. Players even tweak her move set to slot it in properly. So there’s that.

Now, what’s the scoop behind this viral move? On the No-Contest Wrestling podcast, Vaquer spilled that she’s been doing it for ages. Matt Bloom—props to him—named it just when it started blowing up. It’s fitting, with her whole devilish persona. Funny thing, it’s not even hers alone! Others like Charlotte Flair do it too. Flair even busted it out at WrestleMania 41.

But hey, Vaquer’s made it her signature for sure. It’ll be a part of her legacy, no doubt. Adding it to WWE 2K25? Just the icing on the cake. Fingers crossed, they’ll make it official for the future game editions. It’d make matches way cooler, don’t you think?
