MyGM Evolves: WWE 2K26 Brings Immortal Difficulty, 8-Way Matches, and More!
The latest Ringside Report from Visual Concepts has officially pulled back the curtain on MyGM for WWE 2K26, and the changes are massive. This year, the mode is shifting toward a deeper, more strategic simulation of brand management, giving players more control—and more ways to fail—than ever before.
From a massive roster expansion to the long-requested inclusion of intergender matches, here is everything new coming to MyGM.
Bigger Budgets, Longer Seasons
The "Standard" experience has been completely recalibrated. Seasons now default to 50 weeks, giving you nearly a full year to build storylines and manage fatigue. To support this longer grind, starting budgets have been significantly expanded:
- Starting Options: $3M, $4M, $5M (Default), $6M, and $7M.
- Impact: These higher budgets allow for rosters of 20–35 Superstars per brand, drastically changing how you draft and rotate your talent to avoid burnout.
Meet the "Immortal" AI
If you found the previous AI too easy to outmaneuver, the new Immortal Difficulty is for you. This revamped AI is tuned to be more aggressive with Power Cards, poaching talent, and counter-booking your biggest shows.
New Match Types & Intergender Support
For the first time in the modern era, Intergender Matches are supported in MyGM. While they provide a unique ratings boost, they come with additional booking costs, requiring you to weigh the risk versus the reward.
The match variety has also exploded, supporting up to 8-way bouts and specific specialty matches:
- New Rules: 5-Way, 6-Way, 8-Way, Triple Threat Tag, 4v4, and various Handicap configurations (1v2 up to 1v4).
- Weekly Specialties: Bloodline Rules, I Quit, Inferno, Dumpster, and the brutal 3 Stages of Hell.
Expanded Authority: The New General Managers
The GM roster has grown to 20 total slots, including three brand-new additions that bring their own unique Power Cards to the table:
- Bobby "The Brain" Heenan (New)
- Stacy Keibler (New)
- The Anonymous General Manager (New)
Pro-Tip: You can now draft a GM even if they are already on your active roster. Yes, this means you can play as CM Punk the GM and have CM Punk the Superstar requesting a title shot from himself!
Management Overhaul: Promos & Power Cards
- Invasion Promos: Send your top stars to an opposing brand to steal fans. Success depends on their Promo skill; a flop will cost you fans instead.
- Double-Booking: You can now book a Superstar for both a promo and a match in the same night. It saves show slots but drains stamina significantly faster.
- Power Card Trading: During trade weeks, two of your five trade slots can now be used for Power Cards, allowing you to swap utility items with rivals.
- Mid-Season Push: After Week 25, you can select 6 Superstars for a "morale and stamina boost" to help them survive the road to WrestleMania.
