WWE 2K26 Players Will be Able to Punch Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick
WWE 2K26, with its latest update, has brought an unexpected name to the ring. Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick has been added to the game as a playable character. Moreover, he’s not just a simple model; he comes with his own entrance music and special commentary. This strange but certainly attention-grabbing move has been met with both surprise and plenty of humor within the community.
Strauss Zelnick Added to WWE 2K26 Roster
Following the new update, Strauss Zelnick has joined the ranks of playable characters in WWE 2K26. Players can now use him in different match types and include him in any scenario they want in the ring. From Hell in a Cell matches to more chaotic encounters, Zelnick’s addition to the game quickly became a topic of discussion, especially on social media.
The character’s details are quite interesting. Zelnick uses Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” in his entrance and has his own custom commentary lines in the game. However, 2K has placed some restrictions on this character. Players cannot customize Zelnick with the in-game editor and cannot use his entrance music for other wrestlers. Of course, how calm the modding community will be about this is another matter.
A significant portion of the community is trying to understand why this addition was made. Some players found it strange that the Take-Two CEO was included in the roster when they were expecting Paige or other wrestlers to be added to the game. While comments like “Who asked for this?” were prominent on social media, some see this move as a fun marketing idea to generate more buzz about WWE 2K26.
Zelnick’s addition to the game comes after his recent statements about WWE 2K26. The CEO said they were happy with the game’s Metacritic score and player base, but that the brand could be two or three times bigger than it is now. It seems 2K has been quite literal in giving players “something unexpected.” As a result, WWE 2K26 brought not only a new character to the ring with this update, but also plenty of controversy.
