WWE 2K26 Ringside Pass Season 2 Out Today And Brings Demolition, Kelly Kelly, And The Oba Femi Update Fans Have Been Waiting For

By Franz Christian Irorita GameDaily

WWE 2K26 Ringside Pass Season 2 is live, and 2K is delivering four franchise debut appearances alongside a free track addition that will mean a lot to players who've been vocal since launch. Ax, Smash, and Crush of Demolition, plus Kelly Kelly, are all stepping into WWE 2K26 for the first time ever. Meanwhile, free track players get an updated Oba Femi SNME '25 model at Tier 40, featuring the hair-down look that has been one of the most loudly requested fixes since day one.

Demolition Finally Makes the WWE 2K Roster

Demolition debuting in a WWE 2K game is a moment the community has been asking about for years. Ax and Smash arrived in 1987, instantly recognizable in studded leather gear and face paint, and their entrance theme is one of the most iconic in WWE history. Their "Demolition Decapitation" - a backbreaker combined with a flying elbow drop - ended matches with a brutality that defined their era. Crush joined the group in 1990, and the full trio went on to capture the WWE Tag Team Championships three times before cementing their place as WWE Hall of Famers.

All three members are in their full glory, bringing a combined 35 new moves and taunts. Both the two-man and three-man entrance animations are fully implemented, along with the original entrance theme. For tag team enthusiasts and fans of that era, this is a serious addition to the WWE 2K26 roster.

Kelly Kelly Makes Her Franchise Debut

Kelly Kelly is also appearing in the WWE 2K franchise for the first time, which is a notable absence finally addressed. She started as a dancer in ECW before becoming a full in-ring competitor, crossing paths with CM Punk, The Sandman, and Torrie Wilson along the way. After moving between Raw and SmackDown, she defeated Brie Bella in 2011 to win the WWE Divas Championship and later became the first female competitor to hold the WWE 24/7 Championship at the Raw Reunion in 2019.

Wasteland Personas and One Important Quality-of-Life Change

Three new Wasteland Personas round out the Season 2 Premium Track: Rhea Ripley as "Ripper Queen," CM Punk as "Ripper" (with and without mask), and Becky Lynch as "Lilith." Each comes with unique entrance music and animations - including massive mechanical limbs and flaming wings - that can be used on other Superstars or Create-A-Superstars as well.

The Season also includes 19 customizable creation parts, including a Ripper mask, Stephanie McMahon's black corset and thigh-high boots from WrestleMania 32, and a collection of Ripple Junction shirts. On top of that, starting with Season 2, all new Premium Track DLC characters unlock immediately at Tier 1, rather than requiring players to grind their way to them - a direct response to one of the most persistent complaints about how the Ringside Pass system was structured at launch.

Oba Femi SNME '25: The Free Track Win That Matters

Here's the Season 2 addition that will resonate most with players who have been frustrated since launch: Oba Femi SNME '25 is available to all players at Tier 40 of the free track, based on his December 13, 2025, Saturday Night's Main Event match against Cody Rhodes. The key detail is the hair-down hairstyle, which was one of the most frequently cited model complaints in the community's post-launch feedback. Oba Femi's launch version was among the wrestlers fans flagged as needing significant updates, and this addresses it directly with a version of "The Ruler" from one of his highest-profile matches of the year.

Players who installed WWE 2K26 before April 15, 2026, automatically progress through the first 20 tiers of Season 2 to accelerate their progress. Ringside Pass Season 2 is included in the Attitude Era Edition and Monday Night War Edition as part of the Season Pass, and is also available for individual purchase.
