WWE has just announced another exciting edition of WWE 2K26, and it’s shaping up to be a special one. On Monday afternoon, Triple H shared a social media video on X teasing the reveal of a new cover star for the game. The video also hinted at some intriguing features coming to this year’s edition of the game, including a surprise twist.
Paul Heyman Teases Potential Cover Stars for WWE 2K26
In the video, Paul Heyman is seen discussing potential ideas with Triple H for the cover star of the game. Heyman, known for his out-of-the-box thinking, pitched several names from The Vision, WWE’s top faction, as potential cover stars. The list included:
- Bron Breakker: The young powerhouse who could be the future face of WWE.
- Austin Theory: Heyman suggested that Theory could be the youngest-ever cover star.
- Brock Lesnar: The Beast Incarnate, a true WWE icon, and a natural fit for the cover.
- Logan Paul: With his massive social media following, Heyman thought Logan Paul could be the perfect choice.
But in true Heyman fashion, there was a surprise twist at the end of the video.
Triple H Featured on Kings of Kings Special Edition of WWE 2K26
The surprise? The video ended with Triple H and Paul Heyman walking into the lobby of WWE Headquarters, where they were greeted by a massive sign announcing the Kings of Kings Edition of WWE 2K26 featuring Triple H as the cover star.
