CM Punk's WWE 2K26 Cover Revealed in New Photo, Video Ahead of Release Date

CM Punk was revealed as the cover athlete for the upcoming WWE 2K26 video game on Friday.

WWE previously showed off the covers for the Attitude Era, Monday Night War and King of Kings Editions of the game, but Punk will grace the cover of the standard WWE 2K26 release.

This marks the first time Punk has been featured on the cover of a main-line WWE video game since WWE '13, which was released in October 2012.

Punk, 47, left WWE in January 2014, and after a lengthy hiatus, he finally returned to the company nearly 10 years later at Survivor Series 2023.

Since his return, Punk has re-established himself as one of the top stars in the company, feuding with the likes of Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Roman Reigns and Gunther, among others.

Punk has twice won the World Heavyweight Championship during his second stint in WWE, and he is the reigning world champ after beating Jey Uso for the vacant title in November.

As one of the most popular Superstars that WWE has to offer, Punk is a natural fit as the face of WWE 2K26, adding even more excitement to what was already a highly anticipated release.
