    Fans Rally for Paige WWE 2K26 DLC After WrestleMania Return

    Paige’s shock return at WrestleMania 42 has fans pushing hard for her to be added to WWE 2K26, with social media campaigns targeting the game’s upcoming WrestleMania 42 Pack DLC.

    After eight years away from a WWE ring, Paige replaced an injured Nikki Bella on Night 1 at Allegiant Stadium and teamed with Brie Bella to capture the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship. She pinned Alexa Bliss with the RamPaige to cap the fatal four-way, marking her first WWE title win since August 2014.

    The moment immediately reshaped fan wishlists for 2K’s post-launch content. With Paige signing a multi-year deal and returning as champion, players have flooded social feeds asking 2K to add her likeness, entrance, and updated attire to WWE 2K26.

    WrestleMania 42 Pack Details

    The WrestleMania 42 Pack is a separate drop from Ringside Pass Season 2, which launched April 15 with Demolition’s Ax, Smash, and Crush plus Kelly Kelly. According to 2K, the WrestleMania 42 Pack will include the Night 1 and Night 2 arenas along with three WrestleMania 42 Superstar Persona Cards.

    The pack is automatically delivered to Monday Night War Edition owners and will also be available for standalone purchase. An exact release date has yet to be announced.

    Fan Wishlist Takes Shape

    Paige leads the unofficial fan wishlist, but she is far from the only name circulating. Requests have poured in for updated Liv Morgan attire, Roman Reigns’ Tribal Chief gear from his WrestleMania 42 run, and CM Punk’s WrestleMania 42 outfit as potential Persona Card additions.

    Fan mockups featuring silhouetted roster slots have spread across wrestling gaming communities, speculating on which three Personas 2K will pick from a weekend packed with memorable moments. The pack format favors quick-turnaround additions that can reuse existing in-game models.

    2K has not publicly responded to the Paige campaign, and there is no confirmation she is under consideration. The Ringside Pass roadmap through Season 6 already includes Brie Bella as a Season 5 addition, but no 2K26 slot for Paige has been announced.

    Nikki Bella Gives Return Timeline, Dismisses WrestleMania Report

    Nikki Bella has addressed her injury timeline and taken shots at a report claiming The Bella Twins were originally planned to win the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships at WrestleMania 42.

    Responding to a tweet which claimed the original WrestleMania plan was for the Bellas to capture the titles, Nikki fired back via the shared @NikkiAndBrie account on X.

    “Always lies for the cliiicccckkkkss right?? Lol,” Nikki wrote, dismissing the report.

    When a fan followed up asking how long she would be sidelined, Nikki offered a more optimistic outlook.

    “6-8 weeks hopefully,” she replied.

    Fractured, Torn, and Sprained Ankle

    Nikki missed WrestleMania 42 Night One after suffering a serious ankle injury during the March 27 episode of SmackDown. She later revealed the full extent of the damage, saying she had fractured, torn, and sprained the ankle, calling it “a painful two weeks.”

    Nikki underwent surgery in Birmingham, Alabama ahead of the event. Paige stepped in as her replacement, teaming with Brie Bella to capture the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships in the Fatal Four-Way match on Night One at Allegiant Stadium.

    Observer Report in Question

    The Wrestling Observer Radio report, surfaced by WrestleFeatures on X, claimed the original WrestleMania booking called for the Bellas to win the titles. Nikki’s response on social media made clear she disputes that framing.

    Brie and Paige appeared on the post-show panel following WrestleMania 42. With a 6-8 week recovery window, Nikki could be back in time for SummerSlam season.

  • The Bella Twins Confirm WrestleMania Status Amid WWE Absence

    The Bella Twins are going to WrestleMania.

    The sisters announced their intention to go after the Women\’s tag titles during their post-Royal Rumble promo on the February 2 Raw. Even a couple of weeks removed from Elimination Chamber, however, they have not appeared on WWE programming since.

    The duo was asked about their WrestleMania status during a recent interview with Access Hollywood. The Bella Twins confirmed that they are still set for the Show of Shows in Las Vegas despite their recent absence:

    “Officially at WrestleMania, that’s right. In Vegas, and I will say last year’s WrestleMania, I was there, Vegas was unreal. So amazing that we have to do it again, but now The Bellas are going to be in it, so you have to come.”

    Elsewhere in the interview, Nikki and Brie named Nia Jax and Lash Legend as one of the teams they would like to face now that the Twins have reunited in WWE. The duo of Jax and Legend defeated Rhiyo to win the Women\’s Tag Titles at the February 27 episode of SmackDown.

    The new champions, known together as The Irresistible Forces, have not had any title defences yet, and it\’s likely that the Bella Twins will be the first team to get a shot at them. Though with the WrestleMania card still being in flux, it\’s possible that the match might not happen at the PPV itself.

  • Eva Marie Explains Why She Got Red Hair Against WWE Orders

    Eva Marie has revealed why she dyed her hair red for her first WWE run.

    The former WWE star recently spoke to Chris Van Vliet for an interview. She discussed topics such as her infamous wardrobe malfunction segment, opening up about her struggles with addiction on Total Divas, and more.

    During the session, Eva Marie also told the story behind her red hair that gave her a unique look and made her stand out during her first WWE run. The female star, whose natural hair color is black, recalled getting the call from WWE office offering her the job. The instruction that was given to her at the time was to go blonde so she didn\’t overshadow the Bella Twins:

    \”When I got a call on Saturday saying that I got the job, they mentioned a lot of the girls that have left were platinum blonde. Because the twins are Mexican-Italian too, so we don’t want you to look like one of The Bella Twins. Are you okay with changing your hair to platinum blonde? I didn’t care. I was like, Yeah, sure, whatever.\”

    Like Mufasa From Lion King: Eva Marie

    When Eva Marie finally went to the salon to get the blonde look, however, she realized that it would not work for her. Marie, whose mom was a hairdresser, claimed that maintaining the blonde look would have ruined her hair completely. So in that moment, she made the decision to dye her hair red instead, taking inspiration from Rihanna:

    \”I’m in the chair, and they’re stripping my hair color from previous colors and stuff, and it starts to kind of look orangey. I literally look at JoJo and I was like; I can’t do it. I literally say in the chair, I look like Mufasa from The Lion King. I look insane. It looks terrible. It’s orange. There is no way.

    Well, I was listening to Rihanna’s album at the time, it was when she had that crazy fire-red hair. I think her album was called Loud at the time. I was like, dude, her hair is sick. It was just such a fire engine red. I was like, f*ck it. Let’s go red.\”

    The former wrestling star noted that it was a huge gamble on her part since she was going against the edict of Vince McMahon and other higher-ups. Though she decided to go with it anyway, because Marie knew that she would never be successful if she felt insecure and self-conscious while joining the company.

    In an interview with SiriusXM, Nikki Bella discussed her vision for a reboot, emphasizing the importance of blending familiar faces with fresh talent. The Bella Twins starred in the original series, which aired for nine seasons and showcased the personal and professional lives of WWE\’s female wrestlers.

    Dream Cast Wishlist

    Nikki Bella stated, \”A Total Divas reboot if I was able to cast it. It would be — I mean, of course Brie and I. I honestly would want some of the OGs back. So like, of course Naomi and Nattie would be right in there. Nia. And then I think, two that come off the top of my head that would be perfectly inserted would be Maxxine and Chelsea Green…. Oh, Tiffany. So I think those would be three great newbies.\”

    The potential cast members mentioned include veterans like Naomi and Natalya, alongside current WWE Superstars such as Maxxine Dupri, Chelsea Green, Tiffany Stratton, Jade Cargill, and Rhea Ripley.

    A reboot could offer a fresh perspective on the lives of WWE\’s current female roster, blending the established appeal of the original series with the evolving landscape of WWE.

    The discussion around a Total Divas reboot is ongoing, and no official plans have been announced by WWE. However, with the Bella Twins\’ continued interest and the potential for a compelling mix of cast members, this could actually happen.
