2. Return Of Weapons
While there have been weapons in WWE 2K gameplay throughout the years, rumor has it that there will be some fun elements back in action for 2K26.
Per speculation there will be both stacking tables and shopping carts returning to WWE 2K26 to maximize the hardcore fun in the game.
With stacking tables leaving fans ultimate creativity into building their own structures of doom, shopping carts will likely pair nicely with the addition of a new match type.
Since WWE 2K26 is set to see the debut of the dumpster match in the series, seemingly shopping carts go right along with the fun.
