CM Punk has named Sensational Sherri and Raven as his top picks for WWE 2K26 DLC characters, praising both legends for their lasting impact on professional wrestling.
In an interview with Complex, the WWE 2K26 cover star was asked which wrestlers he\’d like to see added to the game\’s already massive roster of over 400 playable characters.
\”For women, I think Sensational Sherri would be super cool. Because she was just such a badass. And I think you look back at her career and the stuff she did, whether it was in the ring or whether she was somebody\’s manager or whatever, like stuff holds up.\
For the men\’s roster, Punk selected Raven due to his versatility across multiple wrestling eras and promotions.
\”I don\’t know if Raven\’s in the game. I think he\’s a good one because he\’s a guy who, you know, so many different incarnations over so many different decades. Like, you could have fun with that. Like, yeah, he could be Raven, he could be Johnny Polo, he could be Scotty the Body.\
Showcase Mode Features Eddie Guerrero Dream Match
Punk headlines the WWE 2K26 Showcase mode titled \”Punked – CM Punk\’s Personal Journey,\” which includes both career highlights and \”what if?\” scenarios. Among the featured matches is a dream encounter with Eddie Guerrero that never happened in a WWE ring.
When discussing Guerrero\’s work ethic, Punk shared his admiration for the late legend\’s approach to every match.
\”You show up, you do the job, and you work hard. That\’s all Eddie did. There was never any talk of \’we\’re going to put on this five-star classic.\’ You work with what you have to the best of your ability. Whether it was the Tokyo Dome, a barn in Indianapolis, or WrestleMania—he always gave 100% in the ring.\
Punk Not Interested in Inferno Matches
While WWE 2K26 introduces several new match types including Inferno matches, Punk made clear one stipulation he has no interest in experiencing.
\”Don\’t want to do those. Don\’t want to be set on fire.\
WWE 2K26 launches March 13 with special editions available March 6 for early access.
