WWE NXT star Lexis King recently announced on his official Twitch channel that his late father, the legendary Brian Pillman, will be included in the roster for WWE 2K26 through an upcoming DLC pack. This announcement was shared via a video posted by 2K Games on Twitter (X).
This is what Lexis King said, “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. 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.”
The WWE Ringside Pass is the downloadable content (DLC) for the upcoming game, WWE 2K26, which is scheduled to be released on March 13th. Players who pre-order one of the special editions of the game—namely the King of Kings Edition, the Attitude Era Edition, or the Monday Night War Edition—will gain access to the game on March 6th.
