WWE 2K26 is continuing to roll out new details ahead of its global release on March 13, and one reveal carried a personal connection for a current WWE star.
NXT’s Lexis King shared that his late father, Brian Pillman, will be featured as a playable character in the upcoming game. King delivered the news himself while speaking about the upcoming DLC content tied to the title.
“Ladies and gentlemen, it has been a dream of mine to reclaim my birthright and take what belongs to me in the WWE, and that dream is quickly becoming a reality because I just heard through the grapevine that the WWE 2K26 Ringside Pass number three is going to include the legendary Brian Pillman.”
The announcement means players will be able to use both King and his father in the game. For the second-generation star, the moment carries extra meaning because it allows fans to pair the two together in matches.
“That’s right. You’re gonna get to play as me, you’re gonna get to play as my father, and you’re gonna get to play with us as a tag team and of course, you’re gonna make us the tag team champions because it belongs to us and it is my birthright.”
Brian Pillman remains one of the most memorable personalities in wrestling history thanks to his unpredictable character work and his influential run during the 1990s. His inclusion in WWE 2K26 gives fans a chance to bring that legacy back into the ring digitally.
With the game’s release approaching and more DLC announcements still rolling out, WWE 2K26 continues to reveal new roster additions that connect different eras of wrestling. Seeing Lexis King and Brian Pillman share the same virtual ring could become one of the more unique moments the game offers when it launches later this month.
