Strauss Zelnick added as playable wrestler in WWE 2K26

Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick is now a playable wrestler in WWE 2K26. On June 3, the game received a season three update that added new content, including Terri Wilson and Brian Pillman, but Zelnick was not mentioned in the blog post; he quietly went live in the game.

His full entrance includes a new animation and “My Way” by Frank Sinatra, a track reportedly exclusive to his character and not usable for other wrestlers. Announcers reference his video game industry career and other trivia during the entrance, and a surprising amount of detail was put into the character.

Zelnick is rated 77 in the game, placing him above several real-life wrestlers — including WCW-era Eddie Guerrero, Bobby Newton, and William Regal — and just behind superstars like Triple H.
