No More Easy XP: WWE 2K26 Patch Ends Submission Farming

WWE 2K26 players are going to have to find another way to farm that RXP.

Ringside Pass XP (RXP) are the experience points you earn by playing matches and completing challenges to progress through the Ringside Pass tiers. As you gain RXP, you unlock rewards like new wrestlers, cosmetics, packs and other in-game items from both the free and premium tracks. There is a free track and a premium track. The free track includes 60 rewards to unlock across 40 tiers. The premium track includes an extra 60 rewards to unlock but in order to have the opportunity to do so, you have to purchase one of the premium editions of the game or pay for that track separately. Unfortunately, DLC characters are part of those premium rewards. There will be six seasons each with their own Ringside Pass.

Before WWE 2K26‘s Patch 1.04 players were able to edited the gameplay settings to make their chosen character’s submission moves incredibly powerful. Then, they would launch a one-on-on match and pick a weak character like Eric Bischoff as their AI opponent. Once a submission was locked on, the AI would submit within seconds. After rising, washing and repeating players could rake in the RXP and the rewards.

The patch though has put an end to that exploit and stated such in its humorous release notes:

If a match is completed faster than 60 seconds, players will receive completion RXP, but not additional win bonuses. We know you’re enjoying making Eric Bischoff tap out, but let’s give poor “Eazy E” a breather.

The RXP rewards include 177 wrestlers, 40 arenas and 51 championship belts to unlock.

Here is what you receive with each edition:

Standard Edition: You need to buy all six Ringside Passes.
King of Kings Edition: Only season one of the Ringside Pass is included.
Attitude Era Edition: The first four Ringside Passes are included.
The Monday Night War edition: Includes all six seasons.

None of these seasons have a time limit. If you bought the standard edition of the game each DLC pack will cost you $9.99.

Here are some ways to motor through the process a lot faster, especially if you haven’t purchased one of the premium editions.

• Island Weekly Challenges

• MyFACTION challenges

• MyGM Season Challenges

• Completing Showcase Matches

• Complete MyRISE Story

• Island Quests

• MyFACTION Lifetime challenges

Completing some of these will level you up multiple tiers in one go, so choose your path wisely if you want to unlock all the Ringside Pass rewards as quickly as possible.
