Paul Heyman Unveils WWE® 2K26 MyRISE Storylines in Latest Ringside Report
Challenge Bron Breakker or Jordynne Grace, survive Paul Heyman’s gauntlet, and redefine your comeback
Today, 2K revealed WWE® 2K26’s latest Ringside Report, narrated by Paul Heyman, which unveils new details on MyRISE, the story-driven mode that puts players at the center of a dramatic comeback, orchestrated by “The Oracle” himself.
In MyRISE, players choose a Men’s or Women’s Division storyline to take on the role of The Archetype, a Superstar returning to WWE after a two-year absence. What should be a triumphant comeback quickly unravels, as players suffer a crushing defeat at the hands of one of Paul Heyman’s champions, Bron Breakker and Jordynne Grace. MyRISE challenges players to make important choices and decide what kind of Superstar they want to become, and if they will fight their way back to the top with honor, or turn their back on the WWE Universe, embracing deception to reclaim championship glory.
Players will be taken through a journey that spans pivotal WWE moments, including a return at the Performance Center, a potential opportunity from Adam Pearce in NXT, and a high-stakes WrestleMania showdown. Along the way, players will encounter career-defining decisions and rivalries that will shape how The Archetype is perceived.
Throughout MyRISE, players can unlock a variety of rewards, including indie-era CM Punk, “Burnt” Fiend, original MyRISE characters, and iconic gear from previous WWE 2K titles. By stacking wins and completing key story arcs, players can expand their roster and leave a lasting mark in WWE 2K26.
Presented through cinematic storytelling, in-game cutscenes, and Paul Heyman’s valuable guidance, MyRISE delivers a deeply personal comeback story where every decision matters.
