Even thoughWWE 2K22has taken a more arcade-like approach to its speed and mechanics, it is still possible to have a technical match-up between two wrestlers that use submission moves to wear down their opponents. The game provides the player with lots of ways to wear down specific body parts to make a finisher more effective or even damage the opponent to the point of making them bleed.

In the past, many wrestling games needed to have certain submission moves assigned to their main moveset. However, inWWE 2K22,the submissions can be triggered in addition to their light and strong wrestling maneuvers, signatures, and finishers.

Wrestlers like Bret Hart and Ric Flair have submission moves stored as their finishers, with the Sharpshooter and Figure Four Leg Lock doing massive damage when performed. However, the opponent needs to have their specific body parts worn down for the submission finishers to work successfully.

One of the best ways is to execute basic submission holds during the match. It’s also worth noting that submissions are more effective on some wrestlers than others as it depends on theirstats inWWE 2K22. Here is how to perform the submission moves at any point in the match:

The submission moves are a great way to wear down an opponent for the finishers. It’s also a great way to end a match early as a badly beaten opponent will tap out before a finisher is applied.
