WWE 2K26: 7 Rumours You Need To Know
5. A Roster Of 400+ Wrestlers
WWE 2K22 had 228 characters.
WWE 2K23 had 250 characters.
WWE 2K24 had 338 characters.
WWE 2K25: had 436 characters.
Those are the final tallies for WWE wrestlers and managers across their clutch of recent video games, accounting for both the base roster and post-release DLC content (as well as MyRISE unlockables, MyFACTION Persona Cards, alternative character models - Shawn Michaels and Shawn Michaels '94, for example), and whatever else 2K has thrown at the wall since 2022.
They were some hefty figures that somewhat accurately represented the history WWE wants you to remember, and maintained the annual promise of "the biggest roster in WWE gaming history".
"Over 400 wrestlers" is the number being touted by Mike Straw for WWE 2K26, though there's no current word on what exactly is represented by that figure. Expect to have a horde of fresh faces to play as either way, and WWE's mass roster culling between 2K25's release and the present day will free up approximately 40 roster spaces for fresh additions from NXT and yesteryear. Jacqueline, Torrie Wilson (her again!), and the since-released Jazmyn Nyx amongst those rumoured.
