In WWE 2K26 MyRISE, the “All Star Threshold” rewards are tied to the total number of stars you earn in RISE Matches, and the big prizes sit at 22, 175, and 200 stars. CM Punk Retro unlocks at 22 stars, Bronze Breakker unlocks at 175 stars, and “Juggernaut” Grace unlocks at 200 stars, along with their respective MyFaction cards.
You earn these stars simply by playing RISE Matches in MyRISE and aiming for high match ratings, with No Disqualification–style matches and heavy weapon usage being the fastest way to push your total to 200. The grind sounds intimidating, but with the right match choices and a focus on 4–5 star bouts, you can clear the entire ladder in a manageable number of sessions.
Quick steps to farm 200 stars fast
-
Play MyRISE and never ignore RISE Matches, since every one adds to your running star total.
-
When possible, rebook standard matches into No DQ, Extreme Rules, or No Holds Barred to open up weapon use.
-
Roll out, grab a chair or kendo stick, and use weapons to build Signature and Finisher meters quickly.
-
Mix up your moves, hit big top‑rope spots, and chain Signatures into multiple Finishers to push 4–5 star ratings.
-
Let opponents score a few near‑falls so you can kick out late and boost drama without throwing the match.
-
Maintain a 4–5 star average so you need closer to 40–50 matches to hit 200 stars instead of 80–100.
-
Keep going until you cross 22 stars for CM Punk Retro, 175 stars for Bronze Breakker, and 200 stars for Juggernaut Grace.
How the All Star Threshold works in MyRISE
RISE Matches in WWE 2K26 MyRISE use the usual 1–5 star match rating system, and every star you earn is added into a cumulative total that sits in the RISE Rewards track. Hitting specific total star milestones unlocks wrestlers, arenas, and cosmetics automatically, no extra menu input required.
The important thing is that these stars are about performance, not wins only: longer, more varied, and more dramatic matches will score higher ratings. Because of that, your goal isn’t to squash everyone; it’s to put on wild, back‑and‑forth matches that spike the excitement meter.
How to unlock CM Punk Retro at 22 stars
CM Punk Retro is one of the earliest high‑impact rewards in the All Star Threshold, making him a smart early target in any MyRISE run. You unlock this retro persona, plus a matching MyFaction card, as soon as your total RISE star count reaches 22.
For a new save, that usually means roughly five or six decent matches if you’re averaging four stars or more. You don’t need to follow a specific story path or alignment for this; any RISE Matches that grant stars will push the meter toward 22.
If you only care about getting Punk into your main roster pool quickly, treat your early MyRISE matches as a mini‑grind: always pick stipulation matches, lean into weapons, and don’t worry yet about branching outcomes or side content.
How to unlock Bronze Breakker and Juggernaut Grace
Bronze Breakker and Juggernaut Grace sit near the top of the reward ladder, so you’ll naturally hit a lot of other unlocks on your way.
-
Bronze Breakker
-
Unlocks at 175 total stars in RISE Matches.
-
Comes with a Bronze Breakker MyFaction card at the same threshold.
-
-
Juggernaut Grace
-
Unlocks at 200 total stars.
-
Also includes a Juggernaut Grace MyFaction card.
-
You don’t need to finish every chapter storyline in a specific way to get them; the star system is separate from the face/heel branches and chapter rewards. As long as you keep queuing up RISE Matches and performing well, you’ll eventually cross 175 and 200.
Best way to farm stars quickly in MyRISE
If you look at the 200‑star requirement and feel a bit of dread, you’re not alone. The trick is to optimize for star quality, not raw match count.
Here’s what works best based on tested methods and community runs:
-
Focus on No DQ‑style matches
-
Use Rebook to refuse normal 1v1 matches and keep rolling until you see No Disqualification, Extreme Rules, or No Holds Barred.
-
These matches let you spam weapons without DQs, which dramatically boosts match excitement and star gain.
-
-
Lean on weapons to build momentum
-
Roll outside at the bell, grab a steel chair, and start stacking damage.
-
Weapon strings rapidly fill Signature and Finisher meters, letting you chain big moves in a short window.
-
-
Play for match variety and drama
-
Mix grapples, strikes, springboards, and top‑rope moves, rather than repeating one combo endlessly.
-
Let opponents get a couple of near‑falls and kick out late to add drama without tanking the match.
-
-
Aim for a 4–5 star average
-
If you average 2 stars, you might need around 100 matches to hit 200 total.
-
At 4–5 stars, you’re looking at something closer to 40–50 matches, which feels much more realistic for a single MyRISE save.
-
Is the 200‑star grind worth it?
Whether the 200‑star grind is worth it depends on what you want out of WWE 2K26.
You should absolutely go for it if:
-
You love having a complete roster, including original MyRISE characters like Juggernaut Grace and Bronze Breakker.
-
You also spend time in MyFaction and want their linked cards.
-
You already enjoy MyRISE and just need a structure to your play sessions.
