A custom arena mod created by community modder Prince has brought Call of Duty‘s iconic Nuketown map to WWE 2K26. The fan-made stage recreates the suburban nuclear test site, allowing players to brawl across both outdoor streets and indoor residential spaces. In footage released by the creator, custom characters are shown wrestling Roman Reigns on the upper floor of the map’s signature house before putting him through a table on the lower level.
Beyond environmental brawling, the mod offers a traditional match setup by placing a standard wrestling ring directly in the middle of Nuketown’s central cul-de-sac. This allows players to hold standard matches against the nostalgic backdrop of the 1950s mannequin neighborhood. The release builds on Prince’s growing catalog of custom stages for the game, which already includes a recreation of Modern Warfare 2’s Rust map alongside climbable retro Raw and SmackDown arenas from 2002.
Access to the Nuketown arena requires an active subscription to the creator’s Patreon under the $10 per month tier dedicated to stage releases. Prince has established a reputation in the wrestling modding scene for producing detailed arena conversions and custom prop swaps, including weapon modifications like the bracelet thumbtacks featured in the game’s CM Punk Showcase mode.
While user-generated mods continue to expand player options, developer Visual Concepts is simultaneously preparing official content updates. 2K recently announced its upcoming WrestleMania 42 DLC, which introduces themed stadium arenas alongside new character variants and entrances. Coupled with recent battle pass updates that brought the Hardy Boyz to WWE 2K26, players currently have access to a steady mix of official expansions and ambitious community projects.
