The colorful and charismatic Mr. Iguana has made his way into WWE 2K25, not as part of an official DLC or roster update, but thanks to the passion of wrestling fans and the creativity of the Community Creations system. After stealing the spotlight during the recent WWE x AAA Worlds Collide event, the viral Mexican luchador is now fully playable in-game—iguana and all (well, almost)!


Here’s how you can get him and even recreate the Worlds Collide arena, absolutely free.


Who is Mr. Iguana?

Mr. Iguana, whose real name is Santiago Ibarra Calderón, is a Mexican professional wrestler known for his flamboyant personality and unique gimmick. He originally made his debut in 2009 on the independent circuit in Mexico and later wrestled for CMLL before gaining popularity in Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA).


Recently, he made waves in WWE after appearing at the WWE x AAA Worlds Collide event, where he teamed up with Octagón Jr., Aero Star, and La Yesca to take on Latino World Order. His colorful persona, playful in-ring antics, and signature iguana puppet have made him a fan favorite, leading to speculation that WWE may integrate him into NXT programming.


His popularity has skyrocketed, with merchandise sales performing strongly, and WWE officials reportedly exploring ways to capitalize on his appeal. Some analysts believe he could become a regular presence in WWE, especially given his charisma and crowd connection.
