If you’ve just started WWE 2K26 MyRise, you’re in the right spot. The mode hands out solid RXP for the Ringside Pass (which drops free VC packs at certain tiers) plus VC from high-rated matches, all while story branches lock away unique rewards. I’ve run through the “Comeback” story a couple times so you don’t waste hours. Here’s exactly how to pick early choices for everything and farm VC the easy way.
Pick Your Alignment Early to Unlock Stuff Faster
Right at the first press conference you get the big split: Fan Favorite (green icon) or Rule Breaker (red icon). Pick Fan Favorite on your first run. It opens up tag-team paths, allies like Hector Flores or Moreno, and early unlocks such as Slade, Geneva Rose, and specific arenas like NXT Live or TBD Championship gear.
The Rule Breaker path gives different weapons, rivalries (think Bloodline or Wyatt Sicks branches), and exclusive items like the Archetype Shovel or Cody Rhodes Suit. You’ll need at least two full playthroughs anyway (New Game Plus carries over your OVR and unused attribute points), so start Face, then replay as Heel on the next save.
This decision hits every chapter after, so nailing it early saves you replay headaches later.
Rebook Matches and Weapon Spam for Quick Stars and VC
Building on those early choices, the real VC and unlock engine is RISE Matches. These optional bouts give stars (1-5 based on rating) that unlock rewards at set thresholds, plus RXP for the Ringside Pass (hello free VC bundles).

Here’s the trick that makes it painless: when the game offers a standard match, hit Rebook until you land a No Disqualification or Extreme Rules bout. Roll outside, grab a steel chair or weapon, and spam hits to fill your Signature and Finisher meters fast. You’ll hit 5-star ratings in under two minutes every time.
This is exactly why your early alignment matters — Face paths give you better crowd reactions for bonus points, while Heel lets you use dirty tactics without penalty. Do this for every RISE Match and you’ll hit 200 stars way quicker, unlocking stuff like Buzz, Cole Quinn, CM Punk Retro, The Fiend Bray Wyatt, and Juggernaut Grace. Plus each win drops VC and RXP.
Here’s the star threshold table so you know what you’re grinding for:
Keep rebooking and weapon-spamming and you’ll clear the list in a few hours instead of days.
Finish Chapters and Stack RXP for Ringside Pass VC
This is exactly why the last tip matters. After you lock in your alignment and farm stars, push through the story chapters. Each one gives milestone RXP (100+ per chapter) on top of match VC.

Once you hit tier milestones in the Ringside Pass you get actual VC packs — no real-money needed if you knock out MyRise fast. Early attribute upgrades (spend your first VC on stamina and strength) make later matches even quicker, so you earn more per win.
Pro tip: finish one full run, then replay with the opposite alignment and different allies (Hector/Moreno, Paul Heyman branch in Chapter 6) to grab the rest of the exclusive gear and superstars.
Wrapping It Up
You got this. Nail the Fan Favorite start, rebook for those No DQ matches, weapon-spam your way to 5 stars, and push the chapters — you’ll have max unlocks and a fat VC stack before you know it. MyRise actually feels rewarding once you stop playing the matches straight. Go make The Archetype a legend and enjoy the ride.
