WWE 2K26 will be the next in the line-up for WWE Video Games, as the game is already announced for Fiscal 2026, which means that you’ll be able to play the game from March 31, 2026, onwards globally.
There’s not much official confirmation about the WWE 2K26 roster by the game developers, but today we’ll take you to the predictions for the roster for the next edition of the WWE 2K game.
WWE 2K26 Roster Predictions
One thing is for sure: we’ll have the current lineup of superstars of 2K25, like John Cena, Seth Rollins, Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Liv Morgan, Rhea Ripley, Iyo Sky, and more.
In these WWE 2K26 predictions, we have focused on the superstars who are likely to be returning to the game; some might debut as well, while you can see some legendary superstars making it to the game via DLC packs.
WWE 2K26 Roster Returns and Debuts
Every year, some superstars return to the promotion, while some make their debuts; similarly, in 2026, many stars arrived who are likely to be included in the 2K26.
The major returns and debuts could be of the following stars:
- Brock Lesnar
- JC Mateo
- Rey Fenix
- Rusev
- Talla Tonga
WWE 2K26 Legends Possible Returns
If you observe the pattern of WWE 2K games, you’ll notice that they introduce different legends of the company to the game who are under contract with them.
So, in a similar manner, we could see new Legends making their way to the WWE 2K26 roster who are still under Legends contracts with the promotion.
This legend contract allows a legend to appear in different WWE assets like WWE 2K games, action figures, apps, and merchandise.
The list we provide you will have the legends who recently appeared in WWE in 2025, so their chances of making it to the game are higher.
The list for WWE 2k26 Legends is as follows:
- Albert
- Bam Bam Bigelow
- Big Boss Man
- Big John Studd
- Bob Orton
- Brandi Rhodes
- Brian Knobbs
- Brian Pillman
- Brie Bella
- Brutus Beefcake
- Bushwhacker Butch
- Bushwhacker Luke
- Crush / Brian Adams
- Demolition Ax
- Demolition Smash
- Don Muraco
- Earthquake
- Fit Finlay
- Goldberg
- Greg Valentine
- Hillbilly Jim
- Hornswoggle
- IRS / Mike Rotunda
- Jacqueline
- Jerry Sags
- Jim Duggan
- Kamala
- Kelly Kelly
- King Kong Bundy
- Koko B. Ware
- Lana
- Leilani Kai
- Mae Young
- Mickie James
- Nikki Bella
- Nikolai Volkoff
- Papa Shango / Godfather / Kama Mustafa
- Terry Taylor / Red Rooster
- Steve Blackman
- Stevie Ray
- Tatanka
- Ted DiBiase
- Torrie Wilson
- Typhoon
- Virgil
- Viscera / Big Daddy V
- Wendi Richter
The rumours are strong that the latest 2025 WWE Hall of Fame inductees, Natural Disasters (Earthquake and Typhoon) and Kamala, are the stars who have the highest chances of making it to the game.
In 2K25, Bull Nakano and The Great Muta were added to the game after their Hall of Fame Induction in 2024.
Stars like Torrie Wilson, the Bella Twins, Leilani Kai, and Kelly Kelly are said to be introduced to WWE 2K26 via DLC release or could even be introduced into the women’s roster straightaway.
Torrie Wilson has the strongest chance of making it to WWE 2K26 via DLC, as she hasn’t appeared in the video game series since SmackDown vs Raw 2008.
Demolition (Ax, Smash, and Crush) recently signed a legends contract with WWE and last appeared in the WWE 12′ game; they could now return to the game series via 2K26.
Ted Dibiase and Big Boss Man were removed from 2K25 due to the legends’ contract expiration, but as they’ve renewed the contract, we could see them coming in 2K26.
WWE 2K26 Roster—NXT Superstars Addition
This year, we’ve seen some big names like Jordynne Grace from TNA and Blake Monroe from AEW making their way to WWE NXT.
With 2K26, we could see some of the big talents of NXT making it to the roster, while some can make their way via DLC packs later on.
Here’s your list in bold bullet points:
- Adriana Rizzo
- Arianna Grace
- Blake Monroe / Mariah May
- Bronco Nima
- Carlee Bright
- Cutler James
- Dion Lennox
- Hank Walker
- Izzi Dame
- Jasper Troy
- Jazmyn Nyx
- Karmen Petrovic
- Luca Crusifino
- Lucien Price
- Myles Borne
- Niko Vance
- Osiris Griffin
- Ricky Saints / Ricky Starks
- Saquon Shugars
- Tank Ledger
- Tavion Heights
- Madi Wrenkowski / Wren Sinclair
- Yoshiki Inamura
- Zaria
There’s no confirmation about who exactly will be in the roster, but the following stars have the maximum chance of making it to the game.
Possible TNA and AAA stars in WWE 2K26
We know that WWE is in partnership with TNA, but without a contract with WWE, we don’t see any superstar making their way to the game.
TNA stars like Joe Hendry might not be in the game, as he’s not under a direct official contract with WWE.
But for AAA, the scenario might be different, as the promotion was recently acquired by WWE.
So don’t be surprised if you get to see stars like Alberto Del Rio or El Hijo Del Vikingo in the WWE 2k26 roster.
So that’s it for this update around WWE 2K26 roster predictions.
I’ll see you in the next post.
