Unfortunately, you’ll notice that Jeff Hardy isn’t on the list, which confirms our worst fears. As Jeff Hardy is currently signed to TNA, 2K decided not to bother with the gigantic trouble that acquiring his license would have brought on. This is a bit of shame, as Jeff Hardy’s feud with CM Punk was utterly iconic. However, it also did get dark at times, with Punk cutting a harsh promo on Hardy, digging into his personal battles with addiction.

Regardless, we now have the full list of unlockable characters for WWE 2K26, and the wait is almost over. The game releases on March 13 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. However, if you pre-ordered one of the premium editions, you’ll be able to get your hands on it in two days, which is March 6. This gives you seven full days of early access.
