In an unexpected turn of events, WWE Superstar and NXT Champion Joe Hendry was interviewed at the WWE 2K26 creator event. Hendry, a Scottish wrestler and musician known for his viral entrance theme, is featured as a pre-order bonus character in the upcoming game.
WWE 2K26 launches on March 13, 2026, for Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PS5, introducing new features like the MyRise story mode and Inferno matches.
