10 Changes That Must Be Made To WWE 2K26

10. More Celebrity Wrestlers

Since the Paul Levesque Era of WWE began, especially with Monday Night Raw's launch on Netflix, there has been an increased focus on celebrity involvement across the company. It has gotten to the point where each episode of weekly television has its own ‘the stars are out’ segment to highlight the famous people in the crowd.

That sentiment has bled over to WWE’s video games, with recent years seeing the inclusion of singers, entertainers, and athletes from across various sports. What started as one or two celebrities who have a history with WWE, such as Mike Tyson or Mr. T, has increased in recent years, and while gamers may not have been too excited when 2K announced the cast of The Pat McAfee Show, Jalen Brunson, and Tyrese Halliburton being included, there is a clear positive coming out of these moves.

While the true impact may not be quantified, having NBA Finals spending time discussing Indiana Pacers' star Haliburton being in WWE 2K25 will surely bring new eyes and players to the game. With the focus on celebrity involvement, adding stars who have stepped in the ring like iShowSpeed and Jelly Roll, or even just celebrity fans such as Vanessa Hudgens and Gabriel Iglesias, could give WWE 2K26 an added boost next year.
