WWE 2K26 Ringside Pass Season 5 Launches w/Danhausen, Bam Bam

ByMike ReichlinProfessional Wrestling Journalist

WWE 2K26’s Ringside Pass Season 5 is live as of September 9, headlined by the game debut of Danhausen. Players who own the Premium Track unlock him instantly at Tier 1, alongside three other new Superstars.

Danhausen’s moveset draws directly from his in-ring persona, including the Very Evil Pump Kick, Very Nice Very Knee-vil and a freeze-frame “You Are Cursed” taunt. He’s joined at Tier 1 by Bam Bam Bigelow, who returns to the WWE 2K series for the first time in seven years with his flame-covered gear intact, and AAA’s Pagano, who makes his WWE 2K debut with an extreme lucha libre moveset featuring the Barrel Roll Tope and Springboard Codebreaker.

Brie Bella also returns to the roster this season. She can be paired with sister Nikki Bella using a new Bella Twins tag team entrance for players looking to recreate the duo’s history together.

Premium Track Adds Two New Personas

Beyond the four new Superstars, the Premium Track carries two additional persona unlocks deeper into Season 5. Bianca Belair’s WrestleMania 41 look becomes available at Tier 33, while a Randy Orton ’05 persona, complete with a new entrance and his “Burn in My Light” theme, unlocks at Tier 40.

Players who stick with the free track still get new content of their own, including Alexa Bliss ’25, Drew McIntyre ’10 and Triple H ’99 persona cards spread across the season’s 40 tiers, along with additional VC and MyFACTION rewards earned through gameplay.

Season 5 also brings Chapter 3 of The Island, continuing the mode’s Stephanie McMahon storyline with new quests, cutscenes and rewards.
