WWE 2K26 might be about to get its first unofficial teaser. The female wrestling star Iyo Sky recently posted a photo on Instagram of herself in WWE gear at the WWE Headquarters. Fans speculate that it could be tied to WWE 2K26. Tonight’s WWE RAW on Netflix is the first of 2026, and fans think that there could be a possible teaser or hint about WWE 2K26.
The timing does make sense, and it’s not the first time this has happened. Last year, during the Netflix debut of RAW, WWE and 2K used the spotlight to tease WWE 2K25, including a live cover star reveal on the broadcast.
It’s also confirmed that WWE 2K26 will release in Q1 of 2026 (somewhere between January and March), so it makes sense that we should be getting a teaser or at least some sort of hint about the game.

Why Iyo Sky’s Post Has Fans Hyping A Tease
The photo itself doesn’t outright say “WWE 2K26,” but the context around it sure has fans talking. According to Cory Hays of Bodyslam.net, they are likely working on promotional material for WWE 2K26. While it might just be part of a normal endorsement, it’s easy to see why the WWE gaming crowd is connecting the dots.
With the game info already appearing in Take Two’s official release window, the next logical step would be to start promoting the game with a teaser, and RAW on Netflix is the perfect place to do it. The first episode of Raw is always somewhat of a big deal, as it’s typically when the Road to Wrestlemania begins — Royal Rumble entries begin to be confirmed, championship contenders emerge, etc. An official announcement for a long-running video game series certainly fits.
There’s also roster speculation tied to these teases. Rumors have been swirling about potential cover stars like CM Punk, and scans of certain wrestlers have already been spotted backstage at WWE events. All signs point to 2K and WWE gearing up for a coordinated reveal sometime in early January 2026.
Whether this Iyo Sky post turns out to be the first real teaser or just friendly social media hype, Fans are watching closely, and many expect that next week’s RAW episode could finally give WWE 2K26 its first official shine.
