Roman Reigns will challenge CM Punk for the World Heavyweight title at WrestleMania 42. About a month before that, though, fans will be able to recreate that match (should they wish) in WWE 2K26. CM Punk is the cover star, and as is tradition, the Showcase Mode will focus on his career. As of now, it goes back as far as 2008.

List of CM Punk Showcase Matches

CM Punk vs. JBL (SummerSlam 2008)

CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio (Armageddon 2008)

CM Punk vs. The Rock (Elimination Chamber 2013)

CM Punk vs. John Cena (RAW, February 25th 2013)

CM Punk vs. Brock Lesnar (SummerSlam 2013)

CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre (Bad Blood 2024)

CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns (WrestleMania 41)

CM Punk vs. Eddie Guerrero

CM Punk vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin

CM Punk & AJ Lee vs. The Miz & Maryse

The last three listed above are examples of the "What if" dream matches included in the showcase, while most of the list focuses on some of his big matches before his most recent run. CM Punk's rivalry with John Cena is legendary, as an example, but it also includes his first WrestleMania main event (CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins vs. Roman Reigns). CM Punk's rivalry with Drew McIntyre is one for the history books, so seeing it represented here isn't just exciting but expected.

Overall, it's a pretty good start to his showcase. There are plenty of dream matches that could be made up, but his history still has a lot to explore. For example, I would take a second John Cena match, specifically Money in the Bank 2011. I'd also prefer to see CM Punk vs. Jeff Hardy from SummerSlam 2009, CM Punk vs. The Undertaker at WrestleMania 29, and at least one of his actual Money in the Bank matches.
