If you’re aiming for 100 percent completion in WWE 2K26, you’re looking at a fairly packed trophy list that touches almost every corner of the game. From Showcase and MyRISE to MyFACTION and Universe mode, the game encourages you to explore each mode rather than sticking to just one.
On current-gen platforms like PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, there are 63 trophies in total, including the Platinum. Last-gen versions come with slightly fewer due to the absence of The Island mode. One helpful detail is that every trophy is visible from the start, so you won’t run into any hidden requirements halfway through your run.
With a bit of planning, most players can wrap everything up in around 40 to 60 hours, especially if they approach each mode with a clear goal instead of jumping between them randomly.
Showcase Mode Trophies
Showcase mode follows CM Punk’s career and is one of the quickest sections to complete if you focus on objectives rather than just winning matches. Most trophies here are tied to specific in-match requirements, so skipping objectives will slow you down.
- One Down…: You can unlock this by completing your first objective in Showcase, which will happen almost immediately as you follow the tutorial prompts.
- Streak Breaker: This is earned by ending The Undertaker’s streak at WrestleMania 29 in Showcase, and the key is to complete all required objectives during that match instead of rushing to win.
- Change History: You unlock this by preventing the Montreal Screwjob in Showcase, which again requires following all the match objectives step by step.
- What If?: This unlocks after completing the “What If?” section, so make sure you continue playing after the main timeline instead of stopping early.
- Perfect 15: You earn this by performing the Avalanche Pedigree Super Finisher 15 times, and the fastest method is replaying a match where you can safely build finishers and repeat the move.
- Best in the World: This is unlocked by completing all Showcase objectives or finishing the Gauntlet, but note that the Gauntlet only counts for this trophy and not the others.
Universe Mode Trophies
WWE 2K26 Universe mode introduces the WWE Draft system, and several trophies are tied directly to it. You cannot just simulate everything here, as active participation is required for certain unlocks.
- Watch Party: You unlock this by spectating five matches, which can be done quickly using the “Watch Show” option without playing.
- Brand Loyalty: This is earned during a Draft by selecting a superstar and keeping them on their current brand, which is easy if you plan your picks.
- A New Era: You get this by drafting a champion to a different show, so look out for title holders during the Draft phase.
- Anytime, Anywhere: This is unlocked by initiating and winning a post-match interview brawl, so make sure to select the correct rivalry action after matches.
- Heist of the Century: You earn this by cashing in a Money in the Bank briefcase during a WrestleMania main event, which is best set up manually in Universe mode.
General Match Trophies
These trophies are tied to specific match types, superstars, and Legend difficulty, and they are much easier if you use custom exhibition matches to control the conditions.

- To Hell and Back: This is earned by winning a full 3 Stages of Hell match on Legend difficulty, which is easier if you adjust sliders and use a strong superstar.

- Breaking Point ’09 Revisited: You earn this by defeating John Cena in an I Quit match as Randy Orton on Legend difficulty, and lowering submission sliders helps a lot.
- Someone Check On Booker: This unlocks by performing Devil’s Kiss as Stephanie Vaquer, which is straightforward once you trigger the move.
- No Bread, No Water, Just Meat: You get this by winning an 8-man Battle Royal on Legend difficulty, and survival positioning near the ropes is key.
- Burnt To A Crisp: This is earned by winning an Inferno Match on Legend difficulty, where consistent damage matters more than rushing.
- Everyone’s Got A Job To Do: You unlock this by losing a 5-star match, which you can do by performing well and intentionally losing at the end.

Conclusion
WWE 2K26’s trophy list might seem overwhelming at first glance, but it’s actually one of the more manageable completion runs in recent sports titles. Since nothing is missable, you have the freedom to tackle each mode at your own pace without worrying about locking yourself out of anything.
The key to making the process smoother is staying organized. Instead of jumping between modes, focus on one section at a time and try to stack objectives whenever possible. For example, working through Showcase early gives you a solid foundation, while planning your MyRISE playthroughs properly can save you from unnecessary replays.
Some modes, especially MyFACTION and MyGM, require more patience than skill, so it helps to treat them as long-term goals rather than something you can finish in one sitting. On the other hand, easier trophies like those in the Creation Suite can be cleared quickly to boost your progress early. In the end, getting the Platinum in WWE 2K26 is less about difficulty and more about consistency. As long as you keep track of what you’re working toward and approach each mode with a plan, you’ll get there without too much frustration.
