Fantasy Warfare

As a WWE fan myself, I always regretted not seeing the epic battle between CM Punk and Steve Austin. Well, now gamers can recreate those matches in the Fantasy Warfare mode, thanks to Visual Concepts. The opponents here have never faced PJ, but they certainly influenced his career. That being said, here's a list of matches:
- CM Punk vs Stone Cold Steve Austin
- CM Punk vs Eddie Guerrero
- CM Punk and AJ Lee vs The Miz and Maryse (Tag Team Match)
What If Matches
The What If Scenarios in WWE 2K26 are where Visual Concepts will showcase their creativity. Basically, it'll be a collection of matches in the alternate reality. In simple words, this section is where the developers will introduce some time-bending scenarios, including cases like imagine if The Best in the World never left the wrestling scene, what could've happened if some rivalries went a different path, and more.
It's quite evident that it'll be something interesting, and 2K authority hasn't opened its mouth about the details. We'll ensure to update the information once it's available online.
Gauntlet Mode

The Gauntlet Mode is certainly one of the interesting additions from the 2K authority. Curious gamers who are willing to unlock all the rewards by skipping all showcase matches must opt for this option. The mode enables players to choose CM Punk or AJ Lee and face 20 opponents consecutively. This allows them to unlock the exciting rewards, featuring characters, arenas, and other resources.
This is quite thoughtful from Visual Concepts, as they added the mode specifically for gamers who love to face challenges. Although this seems easy, there's a catch. If you fail any scenario, you have to begin your journey from the first opponent. In simple words, Visual Concepts has introduced a High Risk, High Reward playstyle.
