First Look at 2 New WWE 2K26 WrestleMania 42 DLC Wrestlers
August 17, 2026·3 min read
WWE 2K26 has shown the first official in-game looks at two WrestleMania 42 Personas, and both are easy to recognize. Cody Rhodes wears the gold-heavy gear from his title match with Randy Orton. Alexa Bliss has the darker look from her WrestleMania Saturday appearance.
The pair are part of a WrestleMania 42 Pack built around alternate versions of wrestlers already in the game. Liv Morgan is the third Persona, while Night 1 and Night 2 arenas are also included. Each Persona Card unlocks its matching version across WWE 2K26's game modes.
2K's new Cody Rhodes model recreates the presentation he used for the WrestleMania 42 Saturday main event. Much of the outfit is covered in gold. It matches the look he wore while defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against Randy Orton. It gives players an official event-specific Cody rather than another standard roster version.
Rhodes retained the championship after a messy finish involving Pat McAfee. Orton rejected McAfee's help and hit him with an RKO, opening the door for Cody to land one final Cross Rhodes. The celebration did not last long, as Orton attacked Rhodes after the match and ended the segment with a Punt Kick.
Players who enjoy rebuilding recent WWE cards will be able to use the Persona outside MyFACTION. The WrestleMania 42 version can appear in Exhibition, Universe, and other supported modes once unlocked. That makes the new attire more useful than a collectible that stays limited to one part of the game.
Alexa Bliss' new Persona recreates her WrestleMania 42 appearance alongside Charlotte Flair. 2K introduced the model with the line "Darkness meets spectacle," matching the darker style used for the new version. The alternate attire gives Bliss a distinct option beside her regular WWE 2K26 appearance.
Bliss and Flair challenged for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship in a Fatal 4-Way match. Nia Jax and Lash Legend entered as champions. Bayley and Lyra Valkyria joined the match alongside Brie Bella and Paige, with Brie and Paige eventually leaving WrestleMania as the new champions.
The official Persona lets players recreate Bliss' WrestleMania appearance without relying on a custom attire. Unlocking the card makes that version available beyond MyFACTION under 2K's Persona system. Players can also pair her with the Night 1 arena included in the pack when rebuilding the WrestleMania match.
Liv Morgan completes the Persona lineup with a version based on her own WrestleMania 42 appearance. Her addition also includes the "Trouble" entrance theme, which 2K lists as part of the pack. Cody Rhodes and Alexa Bliss do not have new entrance music listed among the official contents.
Night 1 and Night 2 arenas give players the matching Las Vegas stages from the same event. The two venues sit alongside the three Persona Cards in the DLC. Players therefore get the wrestlers and arenas needed to rebuild several parts of WrestleMania 42 using official in-game content.
The WrestleMania 42 Pack launches on August 19 and is included with the WWE 2K26 Monday Night War Edition. Players who own another edition can purchase it separately. Cody, Bliss, and Morgan all unlock through Persona Cards, with both WrestleMania arenas arriving in the same DLC package.
