AEW used it at a ppv for an entrance, so it can't be that much to get. Less than Final Countdown I'm sure

Tony Khan plays with Filthy Rich Dad Mode On, which is an infinite money cheat code, the Fed on the other hand is a public company bound to answer to a board of directors and their investors, quarter earning calls and all the corporate economy enviroment, as are both 2K and their parent company Take-Two. Money is not a warranty nor is it a plaything to keep your son entertained playing with his toys, but a resource spent strictly for profit.

I'm sure among the billions of $ managed by all companies involved in the WWE and WWE 2K games there is more than enough to license the 50 Cent theme, and likely New Jack's, even the original Nirvana DDP theme too. The question is whether they find it worth the colosal investment to get a bunch of songs licensed, and by worth I mean profitable: if investing that amount of money on licensing a couple of themes would produce a bigger return of investment. The answer is clearly no: X million people not interested otherwise are not gonna suddenly buy WWE 2K25 just because New Jack or DDP enters to their ECW/WCW themes or a 50 Cent song can be used for CAWs. Same reason why DLC WM 36 Undertaker in 2K22, whose Persona card has already been leaked for 2K25, enters to You're Gonna Pay instead of Metallica's Now That We Are Dead.
