WWE 2K26 Ringside Pass Season 2 Unleashes Wasteland Warriors and Legendary Icons
2K has officially revealed the latest Ringside Report for WWE 2K26, detailing the full lineup for Ringside Pass Season 2. Available now, the new season delivers a thrilling mix of legendary debuts, striking new personas, and extensive customisation options. Players who installed the game before April 15, 2026, will automatically unlock the first 20 tiers, giving them a head start on their journey through the season.
Premium Track Highlights
Season 2 introduces four long-awaited WWE 2K franchise debuts. Ax, Smash, and Crush of Demolition, alongside Kelly Kelly, join the roster for the very first time, bringing with them a combined 35 new moves and taunts. Beginning this season, all new Premium Track DLC Superstars are unlocked immediately at Tier 1, allowing players to step into the ring without delay.
Fans can also explore bold new personas inspired by the desolate world of Kairos. Emerging from the Wasteland like battle-hardened champions from a Borderlands-style frontier, these reimagined Superstars deliver a striking blend of spectacle and creativity:
Rhea Ripley – “Ripper Queen”
CM Punk – “Ripper” (with and without mask)
Becky Lynch – “Lilith”
Each persona features unique entrance music, animations, and visual elements, including massive mechanical limbs and flaming wings. The season also includes 19 customisable parts, such as the “Ripper” mask, offering players new ways to shape their creations.
Additional Premium Track content includes new Create-A-Superstar parts and moves, highlighted by Stephanie McMahon’s black corset and thigh-high boots from WrestleMania 32, along with a collection of Ripple Junction shirts.
Free Track Content
Players can also unlock an updated version of “The Ruler,” Oba Femi SNME ’25, on the Free Track. Inspired by his appearance at Saturday Night’s Main Event on December 13, 2025, this version features his highly requested hair-down look. Oba Femi becomes available at Tier 40 for all players.
Legendary Additions to the Roster
Making their debut in 1987, Demolition ,Ax, and Smash, later joined by Crush, became one of WWE’s most formidable tag teams. Known for their intimidating presence, iconic entrance theme, and devastating “Demolition Decapitation” finisher, the trio captured the WWE Tag Team Championships three times and secured their place in wrestling history. Their signature moves, entrance music, and animations are faithfully recreated in WWE 2K26.
Kelly Kelly also makes her long-awaited WWE 2K debut. Rising from her early days in ECW as part of the “Extreme Exposé,” she evolved into a championship-winning Superstar. Her career highlights include capturing the WWE Divas Championship in 2011 and winning the WWE 24/7 Championship at the Raw Reunion in 2019.
In our review, we awarded WWE 2K26 an impressive 88/100, praising its depth, polish, and wealth of content. The game refines its already strong foundation with technical, rewarding gameplay that balances strategy with spectacle. Expansive modes such as MyGM and the significantly improved Island offer long-lasting engagement, while My Universe provides a flexible sandbox where players can craft their own WWE experience.
With its wealth of content and meaningful refinements, WWE 2K26 stands as a definitive wrestling experience on Nintendo Switch 2, continuing 2K’s championship-calibre run with the franchise.
