WWE 2K26 released the Ringside Report this morning full of details regarding CM Punk’s Showcase Mode. The details included matches, unlockable content, and the addition of a 20 person Gauntlet Match to bypass playing the Showcase Mode and unlocking everything at once.
Below are some details regarding CM Punk Showcase Mode:
Matches:
- CM Punk vs. JBL, SummerSlam 2008
- CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio, Armageddon 2008
- CM Punk vs. Randy Orton, WrestleMania 27

Unlockable Content:

Gauntlet Match:
Players can choose to face 20 consecutive opponents either as CM Punk or AJ Lee. Completing the full run rewards all Showcase unlockables at once, including characters, arenas, and other content tied to the mode.
This provides an alternative path to completion for players who prefer a gameplay challenge over progressing through each match individually. But if you fail? Back to the start. It’s high risk, but high reward.
