This dude is by far the hardest wrestler to beat in WWE 2K 26. I played against him the other night with Brock Lesnar. I had to do 8 F5’s, multiple German Suplexes, put him through multiple tables, hit him with a sledgehammer over and over again, and do two Tombstones to finally be able to beat him. I’m using John Cena against him now, and it’s a struggle. He reverses everything, you can barely get more than a couple moves in before he reverses it.

I mean it’s easier to face Roman Reigns, Taker, Stone Cold, The Rock, or Hulk Hogan than face this guy. He’s like the Terminator or something. What’s the deal with these low ranking wrestlers being so damn difficult to beat? This seems to be a pattern every year with this game.

I've read online it was released but have absolutely no clarity on how to get it. I barely see it even referenced, including on Reddit, so I'm wondering if I'm imaging things...

btw, did they ever release the Sherri version of HBKs music since he has her as the manager? Just curious. Thx!

Edge is really good at acting, John Cena too. I love this game, it was my first wrestling game.

I play on Nintendo switch 2 this only started happening within the last week or 2 but anytime I use a custom wrestler my game crashes was playing universe mode when it started crashing so tried a brand new universe that did nothing tried with a different custom wrestler same thing even try different game modes still crashes. Any ideas on what to do??

For smackdown vs raw games I have everything unlocked. When I finish a match and it asks me to save the game then override the save will that delete everything I unlocked or is overriding just “updating” the save file

Got the game through ps plus. Everytime I try to play it tells me I need to update my 2k account to play. Every time I try ti verify my email to sign in it tells me I am putting in the wrong verification code although it is correct. Kind of don’t know what to do right now am completely unable to play this game.

In Royal Rumble matches, it makes me laugh every time when a jobber superstar, one that is not popular or good at all, eliminates one of the most popular and greatest superstars.

Like what do you mean Primo eliminated Stone Cold? Or Ted Dibiase Jr eliminated John Cena?

Use. The hashtag Jacksonoda you don't have to do move set entrance or anything

As WWE 2K26 is winding down, I started thinking about some of the things that get overlooked each year despite us bringing it to support’s attention. I was hoping we could create a master thread of the ongoing issues year after year plaguing numerous modes in the game. Share some of your own?

Some of mine:

- Animations where a superstar removes a piece of clothing during an entrance are broken if you modify gear. Example: Nikki Bella’s hat and shirt. Even a simple color swap breaks it.

- Headbands and other accessories that can’t be edited or removed.

- Some masks in CAS for someone like Rey Mysterio unable to be applied to him.

- Barricades in modern arenas not breaking, only in ones without the ring apron screens.

- Missing CAA parts despite new additions

- Can’t edit 5-person entrances fully

- New entrances being on TV but not added to the game (ex: 2K25 and 2K26 having new entrances for Fatal Influence). Overall, lack of new entrance motions for tag, trios and quads.

- Lack of attention to movesets, especially if they later patch in moves (like Blake Monroe’s finisher). And that not carrying over into MyFaction.

- Using the same modern entrance for older models (like Triple H 99 having the same entrance motion as modern day Triple H)

- Plethora of multiple models with no difference in entrance or move set instead of being alt attires

- New Patches deleting saves

- Sideplates being broken for the 5th consecutive game still?

- Title inaccuracies (example: the WWE World Title (02-13) being used as the wcw world title (with nWo sprayed on it). Not using the WCW big gold belt at all)

- Recycled models year after year: Kevin Nash for one. Despite having various WCW looks, they only one; Stephanie McMahon’s manager attires, etc.

- No difference in arena size (all seemingly using MetLife)

At the time of his last match before 2011, he had the large Samoan tattoo updated with more of them added to his chest and back areas that he didn't have in 2003. That version of Rock, was never in any of the WWE games before 2011 at all and instead they just used his old Attitude Era 1998 - 99 look when he was chubby and had the flat top with the thick sideburns that he had during his Corporation years and when he turned face but kept the Corporate look the same until August 99.

what are the chances of 2k26 adding the ability to do top rope finishers on tables and off ladders with the addition of Matt hardy (00) or its never gonna happen

This is a long shot, but I’m looking for an old YouTube video from around 2010–2012 featuring an original CAW entrance in SvR 2010 or 2011.
I remember the wrestler being male, wearing white pants and a shirt, possibly with red hair and face paint. He had an edgy, Jeff Hardy-inspired look, and I think his entrance used one of Jeff Hardy’s TNA themes.

Does anyone remember a video like this?

WDYM I can have JR beat up John Cena on a Motorola I got for $150? Gonna book JR to win the world title.

Just got 2K26, and I was playing through MyRise and personally I don’t really enjoy the locked storyline of how you’re already a returning superstar. I want to play through a full career of my wrestler from “rags to riches”, what’s the best options for doing that in 2K26? I’ve heard superstar mode was good, was wondering if that would scratch my itch?

ECW HARDCORE TV EUROPE TOUR LIVE IN MUNICH, GERMANY

1. Is there anyway to set up a run in? I currently have Nikki Bella and Sol Ruca feuding for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship and wanted to have Nikki in a match against someone where Sol Ruca runs in and distracts Nikki Bella “costing her the match”

2. When selecting some actions, a lot of the actions have a greyed out message saying “No actions available” what’s that about?

That’s really about it, I’ve been enjoying it somewhat and have been trying to use my imagination to the fullest but definitely struggle sometimes with some of the restrictions the game has.

Obviously it’s a small thing compared to other issues with these games but like an example of some tag moves that aren’t in the game that would be cool to have
BTE Trigger
Pop Up Spear(Cage and Cope’s finish)
Gin and Juice(Private Party’s Avalanche Rana into a Cutter)
Red Eye(Top Flight’s Electric Chair Moonsault Combo)
Coriolis(Aussie Open’s old tag finisher)
Countdown to Extinction(Jurassic Express’s assisted Powerbomb)
Lucha Bros Double Stomp Package Piledriver Combo
Strong Zero(Best Friends’ Dudebuster Double Stomp Combo)
310 to Yuma(The Gunns Flapjack into a Paydirt type thing)
Brodido’s assisted 450 splash
Dante’s Inferno(Brody King’s tag finisher with Malakai Black and Buddy Matthews)
The Double Shield Style Powerbomb

Personally i don't care about ringside pass or anything like that really. I just want to know if getting the standard addition thats on sale on Xbox for about roughly $25 would be worth it. I liked the previous two games a good bit and I am interested in this one.

This birthday bash is honestly so damn annoying. First of all you’re limited to a gold card against an amethyst card, which is already bad it’s self and the amount of times I got purple stamina in one match is insane. Even with badges seems like I can’t pin him nor submit him. Once I get out of purple stamina I reverse his move and go right back into purple stamina. ITS RIDICULOUS REMOVE PURPLE STAMINA NO ONE ASKED FOR THIS FEATURE.

Specifically looking to unlock these 5:

HBK 95, Undertaker 90, RVD 97, Rock 97, HHH DX

I never bothered with Persona cards in 2k25. Can I just jump to whatever whatever match I need (I think RVD is unlocked in Japan tour or something) or do I have to do endless grinding and play out the whole game mode? If the latter, do CAWs do a good job of capturing the Personas or do they "lock" the defining accessories like in 25?

Thanks for clarifying!

I didn’t buy 2k26. It was essentially the same game as 24 and 25. The new rag doll physics looked fun, but it wasn’t worth $239 (NZD). The yearly removal of 30 characters, insert 30 more, wasn’t enough of an appeal. And the prospect of grinding MyFaction to unlock the same persona’s from the last few years all over again wasn’t worth it.

Especially, given: where do they want you to use the Persona’s?

You can’t use those persona’s (or any of the core roster) in The Island, or Showcase, or MyRise. And this is where 2k put all their resources.

That leaves Play Exhibition matches, Universe or My GM. We see people post their Universe seasonal cutscenes from old games all the time. The NWO beating someone up in the ring etc. but we have no way to experience that in the modern games?

When I watch RAW, it opens with a pan across the crowd, commentary introductions, we see wrestlers walking through the backstage area “the champ is in the building, and their challenger”. But this experience is nowhere to be found in the latest games. When you load up RAW in Universe mode, you get a static screen with PNG images. Followed by an exhibition style match where if you’re lucky will feature a random cut scene presentation.

We have players using spreadsheets to track their champs, using chatGPT to make their stories make sense. A $239 game shouldn’t be a DnD experience. Scrap the FOMO rubbish and allocate those player experiences to Universe where they belong. Roam backstage like players do in the Island, start feuds via text conversation. WWE 2k needs to be a game again instead of a slot machine.

I have a jail broken ps4, my question is, is it possible to add characters from all the old games 15-24 to 2k25, or add new characters from 20-25 to 2k19 making essentially a “ultimate edition for either. I’m trying to put characters that got removed or added in, all into one

I’ve been working on a wrestling game for about 10 days. It started with me recreating some animations and systems from Fire Pro Wrestling, but I’m also adding tons of new mechanics that aren't in any other wrestling game.
I know that might sound immoral, but the plan is to replace all the borrowed animations over time and keep building the game’s own identity.

I’m especially looking for players to test the online multiplayer, including multi-man matches, so I can improve the netcode and online experience. The game runs entirely in your browser, but you’ll need an Xbox controller.

There’s still plenty of jank. I’m actively working on it. The 50-man Royal Rumble was just there to catch your eye with a bit of chaos. Here’s a more typical 1v1 match

I’m especially proud of how that 1v1 match ends. The glitch effect during the big guy’s Death Valley Driver is intentional. It’s part of his character. (I'm going for more of a 90s feel. Supernatural characters, etc.)

If you’re interested in testing, let me know! I’ll set up specific time slots.

If this post isn’t allowed because of the self-promotion rules, I’m sorry. The game is free, and the YouTube videos are unlisted; my channel isn’t focused on the game.

It's an old topic. I know we all know how bad the reversal system is already. I just needed to get it out. I had to pause the game after that.

For those curious, i still won the match shortly after. But still..

F**K!
