Adam Pearce Says Working With 2K Sports Was His Favorite Job in Wrestling, Comments on Appearing in WWE 2K26

In a new post on his Facebook account, WWE Raw General Manager Adam Pearce commented on appearing in WWE 2K26. As previously reported, Nick Aldis and Adam Pearce will both be featured in the game as the MyGM Mode.

Additionally, they will also be playable characters on the Superstar roster. Pearce spoke about getting to work on the game as a Motion Capture Specialist, writing the following:

I used to say that working with 2K Sports as a Motion Capture Specialist was my favorite/best job in wrestling, and when I said it, I meant it. I absolutely loved it. All of it.

The first game I worked on was WWE ‘12, and I genuinely loved being a part of the crew at 2K. I always thoroughly enjoyed the process of making the game, doing the mocap for the stars. I booked my actual wrestling tours around making the game every year; it was an important part of my professional schedule. And I was honestly sad to part ways when I joined WWE full time. Seriously.

So to see THIS come to fruition is extremely special to me.

I want to thank everyone involved in making this happen. Bryan Williams and Steve Islas for being the 2K OGs always in my corner. Love you brothers. Ramon Aranda for being a real one. You are the man. All of those old Mocap crews, my departed hermano Micah Taylor and all of the boys/girls; you know who you are. I’m grateful for you all.

Thank you Kidd Russell and especially Matt Jenkins for the music. Your notes were the soundtrack to my presentation around the world for the last 5 years of my active career, and I’m honored that “Prelude” is in the game. It’s authentically me, and I’m authentically grateful.

To my Mama. I was so happy when 2K wanted the black velvet robe in the game. I love all of the gear you made for me (and others) over the years, and I’m so glad you get to see your work live on when your grandkids kick the crap out of me on the PlayStation. I love you.

To the fans that know and have been with me since back in the day, I thank you forever. To those that never knew, now you do and I thank you too. To those that read all of this, you’re probably my age and sentimental like me. Don’t change a thing.

To those that only looked at the pictures and didn’t read a word, yes, I was a wrestler. Some say I was pretty good. Some say I was shit. I say I was exactly whatever the promoter paid me to be that day.

Thanks for reading and thanks for coming on this ride with the Scrap Daddy, “Scrap Iron” Adam Pearce. Love somebody today.

WWE 2K26 arrives in its Standard Edition release on Friday, March 13. It will also be available in the King of Kings Edition, Attitude Era Edition, and Monday Night War Edition, which will be released worldwide on Friday, March 6, 2026.
