WWE 2K26 Sets MyRise as ‘The Comeback,’ Pitting a Returning Star Against Heyman’s Camp

Branching paths with integrated RISE matches extend progression beyond the main storyline.

Overview

  • Visual Concepts’ Sean Conaway confirmed the single‑player campaign shifts from rookie origins to a veteran Archetype’s return.
  • Primary antagonists are Paul Heyman’s alliance with Bron Breakker for the men’s route or Jordynne Grace for the women’s route.
  • Player choices determine rivalries, match opportunities, and crowd reactions along either a traditional path or a faster, ruthless track.
  • Live Event–style RISE matches now drive main progression, with press conferences and title‑reign decisions sustaining play after the core story.
  • Mode rewards include arenas, championships, Create‑A‑Superstar parts, weapons, Paybacks, MyFACTION content, and additional playable characters, with opponents listed such as Jey Uso, Jacob Fatu, Naomi, and The Wyatt Sicks.
