WWE 2K26 Guide – How To Unlock Everything Fast

by

WWE 2K26 features a Ringside Pass with multiple levels that you can unlock by earning experience points. While you can unlock everything just by playing the game, it will take a significant amount of time and effort. There’s also a way to progress through it by actively ‘grinding’ for XP if you want to unlock things faster.

This WWE 2K26 guide is all about quickly and efficiently grinding for unlocks in just a few hours.

Ringside Pass XP (RXP)

The quickest way to earn a lot of early RXP is by playing Island mode on Easy difficulty. Completing weekly challenges on Island, as well as challenges in MyFACTION and MyGM Seasons, will give you more consistent RXP rewards than simply playing regular exhibition matches, regardless of whether you win or lose.

You can earn RXP once by finishing Showcase Matches, progressing through the MyRise story, completing Island Quests, and finishing MyFACTION Lifetime challenges.

Showcase Gauntlet

To make completing submissions easier, go to the Gameplay settings and change the Submission Mini-Game from ‘Rapid’ to ‘Slider’. Instead of quickly pressing buttons, you’ll move a rotating slider to line it up with or away from opponents. This ‘Slider’ mode should significantly help you succeed with submissions.

Using this setting alone should let you complete the showcase easily and unlock all its content.

Grinding RXP

The quickest way to earn the remaining RXP needed to hit Tier 40 is by playing matches in Falls Count Anywhere.

First, adjust the settings to avoid any pauses between matches. You’ll be playing repeatedly for about two hours, so a smooth, continuous experience is important.

Go to the Gameplay settings and adjust a few options: set Difficulty to ‘Easy’, Weight Detection to ‘Arcade’, turn off ‘Allow Match Start Actions’, and disable ‘Postmatch Replay’.

To make submissions easier in the mini-game’s advanced settings, maximize the player’s strength (set to 100) and minimize their penalty (set to 0). Then, do the opposite for the AI: set their strength to 0 and their penalty to 100. This will make completing submissions much simpler.

Next, try Falls Count Anywhere – a match type where you can win by pinning or submitting your opponent anywhere in the arena.

  • Select One on One.
  • Choose any arena.
  • Play as The Great Muta.
  • Select Eric Bischoff as your opponent.
  • Start the Match

The advanced settings in the Submission Mini-Game are designed to let you quickly complete submissions – within seconds of the match starting. After each successful submission, you’ll be taken directly to the Ratings menu, allowing you to immediately rematch and repeat the process until you’ve fully filled your RXP bar.

If you’re tired of practicing with the same partner, don’t hesitate to try working with someone else you’ve grappled with before.

Here’s a complete guide to earning RXP quickly and reaching Tier 40 of the Ringside Pass in WWE 2K26.
