When you Lock Up in Chain Wrestling, try to gain the upper hand by choosing a chain hold (Left Arrow, Up Arrow, or Right Arrow). While in a chain hold, use the Spacebar + W/S/A/D to find the hot spot. The aggressor can also Strike (Left Arrow) or Wrench (Down Arrow) their opponent.

TABLE

Damage your opponent using tables to fill their Table Break meter. Filling your opponent’s meter unlocks Table Grapples, which can put them through a table without the use of a Table Finisher. The Table Break icon indicates when a Table Grapple can be performed by pressing Down Arrow. If the opponent is leaning against a table propped in the corner, a Running Strike can also put them through the table.

MANUAL TARGETING

In WWE 2K19, Manual Targeting is enabled by default. You can switch to another target by pressing F1. Your new Target’s name will briefly appear above your Superstar’s head.
