For decades now, the WWE has traded in shock and awe. Whether through its death-defying match types or bloody and brutal beatdowns, the writers are always finding new ways to keep viewers on the edge of their seats, and WWE 2K26 captures this chaos perfectly.
The Best WWE 2K26 Slider Settings for Realism
Looking for more realistic matches in WWE 2K26? These slider settings balance reversals, stamina, and finishers for a more authentic experience.
If you’re looking for something particularly brutal, you’ll definitely want to check out the new Three Stages of Hell and Inferno matches. However, the game’s most shocking scene can arguably come in a regular match, with players once again able to break the ring in WWE 2K26.
How to Break the Ring in WWE 2K26
In order to break the ring in WWE 2K26, you’ll need to superplex a super heavyweight superstar off the top rope. To do so, you’ll have to be controlling a heavyweight or superheavyweight superstar that can perform a superplex. Assuming you are, Irish whip your opponent into one of the corners and then flick the right analog stick up to lift them onto the top turnbuckle. From there, it’s a simple case of pressing the grapple button twice to initiate the Superplex. As long as they don’t reverse it, they’ll be launched into the center of the mat, the ring will collapse, and the match will come to an end.
In some of the previous WWE 2K games, players needed to enable knockouts and deal a certain amount of damage in order to be able to break the ring. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case this time around. In our testing, we were able to break the ring with knockouts turned off and minimal damage dealt. However, the combined weight of the two superstars does seem to make a big difference this time around, so you may find that the ring doesn’t break if you’re fighting one of the lighter super heavyweights, or are using a light heavyweight superstar yourself. For best results, you should choose heavy superstars like Andre the Giant and the Great Khali.
