WWE 2K26 doesn’t have the most complicated of control schemes, but some players are having trouble navigating the backstage area during matches. More specifically, users appear to be struggling with the controls for getting back to the ring after their brawl had previously ventured outside of the main arena. This confusion has been created due to a slight change in the game’s controls, which we’re here to explain. On that note, here’s how to get back to the ring from backstage in WWE 2K26.
WWE 2K26 Return to Ring From Backstage Explained
To return to the ring from backstage in WWE 2K26, you’ll have to stand by the exit near the vending machine and then follow these steps:
- Drag your opponent to the exit near the vending machine by pressing the grapple button (Circle on PlayStation/B on Xbox) and then L1/LB.
- If done right, your character will grab the opponent’s head, and you can lead them in any direction using the left joystick.
- Lead your opponent to the exit as seen in the image above, and then press L1/LB when prompted.
- You’ll now be back in the arena.
It really is that simple to return to the ring. Previously, you’d simply see an L1/LB prompt when you’re standing near the exit. But now, the devs have made it mandatory to have your opponent in your clutches. This is also the case for getting backstage in the first place, so that’s worth keeping in mind.
