WWE 2K Battlegrounds’ striking system is much different than the one utilized in the WWE 2K franchise. The new over-the-top wrestling game provides a much different playing experience, as well as some brand new features. One of those new features is the addition of unique striking moves and combinations that fit in with the theme of the title. So what kind of special moves are in WWE 2K Battlegrounds? Let’s go over the list.
But before we do, let’s point out something very important. The moves that a fighter possesses depends on the class of said wrestler. For example, Baron Corbin belongs to the Brawler class. Because of this, Corbin will have special moves that belong to that archetype. In order to see which class your fighter belongs to, you can either check it at the Select a Wrestler screen, or at the Superstars menu.
With that said, let’s go over all the different special moves and combos, sorted by class:
All-Rounder
Brawler
High-Flyer
Powerhouse
Technician
Keep in mind that when using a combo punch or kick, you must hit the buttons in succession. To illustrate, if you want to use the Overhead Punch combo, you must hit Y/Triangle and connect. After that you need to hit X/Square twice to successfully hit your opponent with the combo.
