A huge week for wrestling game news — from updated superstar scans to crossover surprises and free MyFaction rewards. Here’s everything happening across WWE 2K25, WWE 2K26, and WWE Champions right now.
Nikki Bella model update and scan confirmed
After backlash over the outdated Nikki Bella model in the recent Island Expansion Pack, fans called for a fix — and 2K listened. Nikki confirmed via Instagram that she was rescanned backstage during the October 20 episode of Monday Night Raw, sharing footage inside 2K’s mobile scanning unit surrounded by cameras. She later discussed it on The Nikki & Brie Show podcast, thanking 2K for the update and joking about her sister’s earlier criticism of the model.
Whether this new scan arrives as part of a WWE 2K25 patch or rolls into next year’s 2K26 release remains to be seen, but the refresh is officially in motion.
New scans for WWE 2K26 talent
NXT superstar Luca Crusifino also confirmed he was scanned for WWE 2K26, showing the full process — from facial expression capture to detailed texture photography.
The upgraded mobile unit setup now allows 2K to move between arenas and scan multiple talents efficiently. With the rig spotted in the NXT parking lot, it’s likely that other names such as Izzi Dame, Nico Vance, Ariana Grace, Blake Monroe,, Ricky Saints, Jasper Troy, Hank & Tank, Laney Reed, and even guest stars La Parka, Leon Slater, and Zachary Wentz were captured for future titles.
Free DLC and live events in WWE 2K25
Players can currently grab free rewards through the new Beat the Beast live event. Using any Ruby-tier card to defeat Brock Lesnar unlocks a 99-rated version of him for MyFaction — even without owning the DLC.
Since the match is No DQ and Lesnar starts with three finishers, strategy is key: fight outside the ring, spam the sledgehammer, and wear him down. Many players recommend using a cruiserweight to simplify move requirements.
Persona cards and Drew McIntyre’s classic return
The newest Persona card heading to MyFaction is Drew McIntyre ’10 – The Chosen One, complete with his classic Broken Dreams theme and unique Tron entrance. This infinite-tier card was teased by the WWE Games team as a limited-time live event reward. Also part of the latest Hellfire collection: Abyss, Dexter Lumis, The Manifestation, Erick Rowan, and Randy Orton — collect all five to unlock Kane O3, another dark Persona addition for MyFaction.
Tekken × WWE Champions crossover teased
WWE Champions players are getting an unexpected crossover: Bandai Namco’s Tekken characters Jin Kazama, Kazuya Mishima, King, and Armor King are teased to appear in an upcoming event. The official WWE Champions account posted silhouette teasers, with the crossover expected to follow the ongoing Halloween event in November.
If confirmed, it would mark one of the wildest collabs in the mobile title’s history — bringing fighting-game icons into a wrestling meta. Between scans, Persona cards, and crossovers, the wrestling game scene is evolving fast. WWE 2K25 keeps MyFaction fresh with new events, while 2K26 is already in production with upgraded models. Meanwhile, WWE Champions continues expanding through high-profile partnerships that blur genre lines.
