WWE 2K26 Guide | How to Unlock Every Reward Fast in MyRISE
Here's a guide on how to unlock every reward fast in MyRISE in WWE 2K26.
Game Guide by Groot on Apr 07, 2026
In WWE 2K26, MyRise: The Comeback puts you in control of a character called The Archetype, a superstar returning to WWE after years away. Every choice you make during press conferences, every personality decision, and every match rating you earn shapes the story and the rewards you get.
The mode runs across both a Men's Division and a Women's Division story, and both branch based on your alignment choices. This guide covers every unlockable character, arena, championship, and CAS item across both divisions, plus the full RISE Rewards star milestone table.
To replay MyRise with your existing character while keeping your Overall Rating and unused attributes, speak to Xavier Woods or R-Truth and select Replay MyRise. RISE match progress is also saved across all save slots.
How The Story Branches Work
Your first big decision comes at the opening Press Conference, where you declare yourself a Fan Favorite or a Rule Breaker. That choice sets Chapter 1 onto either the Brick By Brick path (Face) or the Burning Bridges path (Heel). More branching points appear throughout the story. After Chapter 2, you choose between NXT or SmackDown. After Chapter 4, you decide whether to team up with your ally for tag titles or go after gold alone. After Chapter 5, there's one more chance to switch alignment. After Chapter 6, you choose whether to take out Paul Heyman or become his client. That final decision determines whether your Chapter 7 ending is Alone At The Top or Souled Out.
The Face and Heel paths unlock different characters and arenas in several chapters, so getting everything requires going through both paths across multiple playthroughs.
What RISE Matches Are
RISE Matches are built into the main career path, not side content. Every match gets rated on a scale of one to five stars, and those stars build up in the RISE Rewards menu. Higher match quality gets you to star thresholds faster, and those thresholds are what unlock legendary characters and exclusive arenas. A perfect five-star match adds five stars to your total, so staying consistent at the top level is the fastest way to reach the best rewards. If you're handed a match type or opponent you don't want, the Rebook option lets you swap it out as long as you have one available.
Men's Division Chapter Rewards
In Chapter 1, the Face path (Brick By Brick) unlocks Hector Flores, Justine, Justine '99, a MyFaction Card for Justine '99 at Emerald tier, and 100 RXP. The Heel path (Burning Bridges) unlocks Hector Flores, Tavish, Chosen, La Cangrejita Loca, a MyFaction Card for La Cangrejita Loca at Emerald tier, and the Archetypal Gym Arena.
In Chapter 2, the Face path (Indie Excursion) unlocks Slade, Geneva Rose, Barron Blade, a TBD Arena, a TBD Championship, and a MyFaction Card for Slade at Gold tier. The Heel path (Archetype Underground) unlocks Psycho Sally and the Archetypal Gym 2.0 Arena.
In Chapter 3, the Face path (NXT) unlocks the NXT Live Arena and 100 RXP. The Heel path (SmackDown) unlocks Rikishi, Main Event R-Truth, the Archetype Shovel as a weapon, and a MyFaction Card for Main Event R-Truth at Sapphire tier.
In Chapter 4, the Face path unlocks Dusty Rhodes '89 and a MyFaction Card for Dusty Rhodes '89 at Sapphire tier. The Heel path unlocks Road Dogg (Current) along with MyFaction Cards for Road Dogg at both Sapphire and Emerald tiers.
In Chapter 5, the Face path has multiple branches. Tagging with Hector unlocks the New Day Pancake Tray as a weapon. Continuing the tag path unlocks the Survivor Series MyRise Arena. Taking the Royal Rumble branch unlocks the Royal Rumble Chair as a weapon and 100 RXO. The Heel solo path unlocks Hector Flores (Wyatt Sicks), a MyFaction Card for Hector Flores Wyatt Sicks at Sapphire tier, and 100 RXP.
In Chapter 6, the Face path unlocks the Men's Beware Of The Dog Jacket as a CAS item and the Archetype Universal Championship. Continuing on that path unlocks the Second Wind Payback, the Bron WrestleMania Singlet as a CAS item, the WrestleMania MyRise Arena, and 250 RXP. The Heel path unlocks the Cody Rhodes Suit as a CAS item, and continuing that path unlocks the Spirit Breaker Payback, the Bron WrestleMania Singlet as a CAS item, the WrestleMania MyRise Arena, and 250 RXP.
Women's Division Chapter Rewards
The Women's Division follows the same structure but features different opponents and some unique unlockables.
In Chapter 1, the Face path unlocks Moreno, Justine, Justine '99, Meilee "Fanny" Fan, and several MyFaction Cards. The Heel path unlocks Tavish, Chosen, La Cangrejita Loca, and the Archetypal Gym Arena.
In Chapter 2, the Face path unlocks The Captain, Geneva Rose, Barron Blade, and a TBD Championship. The Heel path unlocks Psycho Sally and the Archetypal Gym 2.0 Arena.
In Chapter 3, the Face path unlocks the NXT Live Arena. The Heel path unlocks Rikishi and the Archetype Shovel as a weapon.
In Chapter 4, the Face path unlocks Dusty Rhodes '89. The Heel path unlocks Road Dogg and Road Dogg MyFaction Cards.
In Chapter 5, the Face path unlocks the Raquel Body Suit as a CAS item and the Survivor Series Arena. The Heel path unlocks Moreno (Wyatt Sicks) and a MyFaction Card.
In Chapter 6, the Face path unlocks the Archetype RAW Women's Championship and the Jordynne Grace WM Attire as a CAS item. The Heel path unlocks the Becky Lynch Casual Bundle as a CAS item.
Both divisions share the same Chapter 7 structure. Defeating Paul Heyman leads to Alone At The Top and siding with him leads to Souled Out. Neither ending blocks you from replaying to get the other.
RISE Match Star Rewards
This is the biggest unlock system in MyRise. Stars build up across all playthroughs regardless of which division or alignment you're on, so every match you play counts toward the total. The top rewards here include CM Punk Retro, The Fiend Bray Wyatt (Burned), DDP, and Juggernaut Grace.
At 10 stars you unlock Buzz, a MyFaction Card for Buzz at Gold tier, and the BCW Arena. At 13 stars, Cole Quinn unlocks. At 22 stars, CM Punk Retro and a MyFaction Card at Gold tier unlock. At 25 stars, the Liv Morgan Jacket becomes available as a CAS item. At 31 stars, Red and Tre unlock along with MyFaction Cards for both and the Motion Capture Studio Arena. At 34 stars, the Naomi "Caution" Outfit unlocks as a CAS item. At 37 stars, Josie Jane and a MyFaction Card unlock.
At 43 stars, MyRise 2K22 Female Player, MyRise 2K22 Male Player, MyFaction Cards for both, and the Law Arena unlock. At 46 stars, Chase and a MyFaction Card unlock. At 51 stars, El Mago Jr, a MyFaction Card, and the Arena Estatal unlock. At 57 stars, El Ordinario, a MyFaction Card, and Mexico Plaza unlock. At 60 stars, the Elimination Chamber '02 Pants (HBK) unlock as a CAS item. At 63 stars, Paragon Jay Pierce and a MyFaction Card unlock. At 69 stars, The Lock, a MyFaction Card, and the Japan Dome unlock. At 72 stars, Gabriel Slade and a MyFaction Card unlock. At 75 stars, the Finn Balor WM40 Mask and Finn Balor WM40 Jacket unlock as CAS items.
At 81 stars, LJ, a MyFaction Card, and Japan Hall unlock. At 84 stars, Odyssey Rift and a MyFaction Card unlock. At 87 stars, the Jamaican Jacket unlocks as a CAS item. At 90 stars, Carly Prime and a MyFaction Card unlock. At 98 stars, Alundra Blayze, a MyFaction Card, and the Wrestling Convention Arena unlock. At 103 stars, Scott Steiner '03 and a MyFaction Card unlock. At 108 stars, Michelle McCool unlocks. At 116 stars, the No Way Out '01 Singlet (Undertaker) unlocks as a CAS item. At 124 stars, DDP unlocks. At 140 stars, The Fiend Bray Wyatt (Burned) and a MyFaction Card unlock. At 150 stars, The Dark Horse, a MyFaction Card, the Shield Mask, and the Reigns RAW Shirt unlock as CAS items. At 175 stars, Bronze Breakker and a MyFaction Card unlock. At 200 stars, Juggernaut Grace and a MyFaction Card unlock.
Reaching 200 stars is a long grind. Focus on five-star match performance every session and use the Rebook option when you're handed a match type that's likely to hurt your rating.
Story Unlocks Versus RISE Rewards
It helps to know how these two systems work differently. Story Chapter unlocks are tied to specific decisions in the narrative. Characters like Dusty Rhodes '89, Road Dogg, Rikishi, Main Event R-Truth, Hector Flores (Wyatt Sicks), and Moreno (Wyatt Sicks) only come from reaching the right chapter on the right alignment path. If you miss a branch, those rewards are gone until you replay.
RISE Rewards unlocks are based purely on performance and aren't tied to any path. Every star earned in any RISE Match counts toward the cumulative total no matter which division or alignment you're playing. That means stacking stars across multiple playthroughs is a valid way to push toward the 200-star Juggernaut Grace unlock faster.
Tips For Getting The Most Out Of MyRise
Plan your first playthrough alignment before you start. The Face path in Chapter 2 unlocks Slade, Geneva Rose, and Barron Blade, while the Heel path only gives Psycho Sally. If collecting characters is the priority, going Face first is the stronger opening run.
Don't skip any RISE Match. Every single one adds stars, even a three-star performance. Never pass up the opportunity. Use Rebook when you're given a match type you struggle with rather than risking a low rating. Chasing five-star matches consistently cuts down the time needed to reach the top rewards like The Fiend (Burned) at 140 stars and Bronze Breakker at 175 stars.
After finishing the story, the post-championship loop adds random encounters and hidden challengers. If you lose the title, specific RISE Matches let you earn a rematch, which effectively turns the mode into a second comeback arc.
