Five best predictions for WWE 2K26

5. MyRise mode tweaks: Full backstage hub & consequence

This is the second most popular mode among the fans and gamers in the WWE games. Create a male/female wrestler from scratch, give the personality and start your wrestling journey in the ring.

Having more detailed backstage environments and interaction can truly enhance this mode. Imagine going to Triple H’s office or Adams. Your dialogues and interactions play an important part in your journey.

4. Expanded Universe Mode

Universe mode is the best feature in WWE 2K games. As a sandbox in nature, fans and players have full control over rosters, storylines, rivalries, and shows to carry out their wrestling fantasy.

More improvements to promo in WWE 2K26 Universe Mode can truly take it to the next level. More focus on environments, backstage interviews and stuff, more manager involvement and sometimes even involving the audiences.

More and better options to create storylines, rivalry and how to set up the matches, factions and other things for the roster.

Universe mode is the only reason the game is worth it. If 2k spent the next game just focusing on Creation suite and universe mode it’ll be the best game in the wwe2k franchise. U just gotta make the most of it #WWE2K25 @WWEgames #wwe pic.twitter.com/fi268ty3VS

Championship sprawl: 20 or more belts, with indie belts for variety. Independent Mode: Unlimited budget for drafting globals (AJ Styles, Okada) and managing dream cards. Cross-brand PLEs explode, causing online havoc!

4. New & Returning Match Types

In WWE 2K25, we got two new match types: Underground and Bloodline Rules. Having more new kinds of match types and some revamp of the old ones could be good for WWE 2K26.
