The vote happens through Club WWE, a membership platform that costs $99 yearly or $8.25 monthly. This fan-driven approach is a shift from WWE 2K26, which featured CM Punk on its cover AOL.
Eight Rising Stars Competing for Cover Honor
The eight candidates represent some of WWE's brightest up-and-coming talent. Bron Breakker, Je'Von Evans, Oba Femi, Penta, Sol Ruca, Stephanie Vaquer, and Trick Williams are all established singles wrestlers. Fatal Influence is a female faction WrestleZone. None have appeared on a WWE 2K game cover before, making this a historic moment for each competitor.
Club WWE Members Get Exclusive Voting Power
Only registered Club WWE members can cast votes starting September 11 Wrestling Inc. The membership program combines ticketing, merchandise, community features, rewards, and exclusive content into one platform. U.S. members pay $99 annually, or about $8.25 per month spread across the year. The fan vote gives members direct influence over a major gaming release.
A New Strategy Compared to WWE 2K26
WWE 2K26 took a different approach by featuring CM Punk on its cover. Punk's inclusion marked his first WWE 2K appearance since the 2013 edition WrestleZone. The shift to a fan-voted cover for WWE 2K27 shows WWE and 2K want players to feel ownership over the game's identity. This strategy also builds excitement months before the early 2027 launch.

The WWE 2K27 cover vote is just one part of WWE's ambitious 2027 roadmap. TKO President and COO Mark Shapiro announced plans for a special collaboration between WWE and The Walt Disney Company next year. These expanded plans signal WWE's growth beyond gaming into major entertainment partnerships Insider Gaming.
