Wrestling legend added to WWE 2K26 video game
Wrestling legend Brian Pillman is set to be a part of the WWE 2K26 video game.
In less than a week, WWE 2K26 will be available for players to play all across. Boasting one of the largest rosters of all-time with 400 characters, this year’s edition will also include Pillman as a playable character.
Pillman’s son and WWE NXT wrestler Lexis King shared an update on his father’s addition in the game.
“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,” King said.
“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.”
Known widely for his time in WCW and ECW, Pillman also enjoyed a short stint at WWE (then known as WWF), where he feuded with Stone Cold Steve Austin and formed an alliance with The Hart Foundation. After a successful career, Pillman passed away in 1997.
