WWE 2K25's Devil's Kiss Move Explained

WWE 2K25 recently released its first DLC, the New Wave Pack, which includes four new superstars and Island content. One wrestler that many WWE 2K25 fans have been excited about is Stephanie Vaquer, the NXT star known for her work in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) and a brief stint in All Elite Wrestling (AEW).

Vaquer's presence inside and outside the ring is hard to ignore, as she sports devil horns with her gear and has an imposing aura, especially during matches. After officially signing on to the WWE in 2024, she dominated NXT's women's division, winning both the NXT Women's Championship and NXT Women's North American Championship within just a few months of joining the roster. Because of the impact she's made in a short amount of time, it only makes sense for her to be added to WWE 2K25's New Wave Pack DLC. Of course, like many wrestlers, Vaquer has a viral signature move that fans remember her for, and that's The Devil's Kiss.

Stephanie Vaquer's Devil's Kiss is Satisfying to Execute in WWE 2K25

The Devil's Kiss is essentially a scissor-hold head slam, as Vaquer locks her opponent's head between her thighs and slams their head into the ring. The move has become viral among wrestling fans because of the painful slamming movement, and also because of how wild it looks once Vaquer executes it. Even Booker T can't resist making hilarious reactions on commentary every time Vaquer does The Devil's Kiss in matches. With Vaquer part of the New Wave Pack DLC, WWE 2K25 players can now pull off Devil's Kiss in matches, but there's a catch.

Apparently, The Devil's Kiss isn't listed as one of Vaquer's Signature Moves or Finishers in WWE 2K25. It's an odd choice considering that the wrestler is known for doing this move, and it has also gone viral among wrestling fans. Fortunately, WWE 2K25 players discovered that they could do the move while controlling Vaquer by putting their opponent in a sitting position and pressing Grapple while standing behind them. WWE 2K25 players can also customize the wrestler's move set and add Devil's Kiss to make it more accurate.

How to Do Stephanie Vaquer's Devil's Kiss in WWE 2K25

Make sure the opponent is in a sitting position.
Stand behind them and press WWE 2K25's Grapple button (Circle or B) to grab the opponent's neck/head.
Vaquer will then lock her opponent's head between her thighs and slam them onto the mat.

What's the Story Behind Stephanie Vaquer's Viral Move?

In an interview with the No-Contest Wrestling podcast, Vaquer said that she's done The Devil's Kiss for a long time, but never had a name for it until her coach, Matt Bloom, gave it one around the time it started going viral. It's a fitting name since the wrestler often presents herself as a fearsome devil with her signature horns. She also called the move "unusual" because it's a mix of different fighting styles and moves as a result of her always trying to create something new while wrestling. The move is also not exclusive to Vaquer, as wrestlers like Charlotte Flair have it in their arsenal as well, with Flair even pulling it off during her WrestleMania 41 match against Tiffany Stratton.

Despite not being unique to her, Vaquer has successfully made The Devil's Kiss her own, creating a lasting legacy for the wrestler for years to come. Immortalizing The Devil's Kiss in WWE 2K25 is the cherry on top, especially if Vaquer will be part of the playable roster in future WWE 2K games. Hopefully, in the next installments, Visual Concepts will officially add The Devil's Kiss to Vaquer's list of Signature Moves, so players can have an accurate and exciting experience during WWE 2K matches.
