WWE 2K26 has brought what appears to be a star-studded roster. Also, unlike previous years, there are no SuperCharger and no in-game store.
Rather, WWE 2K26 has shifted to a battle pass system, called the Ringside Pass, which has a plethora of unlockable content. Apart from the pass, players can also unlock superstars by completing 2K Showcase, MyRISE, as well as through MyFaction Persona cards and Live Events.
Many players get confused about where to start to unlock their favourite superstars in the game. We have created a list of superstars that can be unlocked, along with the path to unlock them. Enjoy!
