WWE 2K25 Original CAW Showcase | "the Queen of Darkness" Samantha Shade

one of these days I'll actually get good at editing. until then, I'm glad these games only come out once a year. Well, here she is for the brand-new 2k25 edition. The Queen of Darkness herself, the deadly Sorceress of the Squared Circle, the one and only Samantha Shade enters her 8th year. She started all the way back in 2k17 when I thought it was funny that they had a witch hat in the create a wrestler suite. The idea of a wicked witch cutting a wrestling promo is still funny to me.

Mix in Robert Egger's "the VVitch" (2015), a slew of Disney villains, & add a dash of Bewitched (1964-1972) for the name. Everything I can do to flesh the character our without referencing pro wrestling makes this character fun & it's why I keep coming back. Characters that work in pro wrestling usually connect & last because their appeal transcends the wrestling bubble. Come up with something that makes sense without needing to be a fan in the first place. I prefer to concentrate on character. Doesn't hurt that this game seems to have upped the quality of the suite. It's still a bit buggy, but that's every year.

So enjoy, get her on CC, trick or treat yourself, and then you too can swear your unholy allegiance by downloading her. If you run an E-Fed, use her. I hope people read this here because every year I have a bunch of people ask me. Be nice. Maybe give my work a shout out; it would be much appreciated.

Happy early Halloween.
