Chain wrestling and ground game are crucial for controlling the pace of a match and setting up more impactful offense in WWE 2K27. Mastering these mechanics can turn the tide of a close contest and wear down your opponent.
Walkthrough
- 1Initiating Chain Wrestling: To start a chain wrestling sequence, press and hold the grapple button (typically X on PlayStation, A on Xbox) as your opponent attempts to grapple you. This will initiate a mini-game where both players select a hold.
- 2Selecting Holds: The mini-game presents three options: Headlock, Waistlock, and Wristlock. Each player chooses one simultaneously. The outcome depends on a rock-paper-scissors style system: Headlock beats Waistlock, Waistlock beats Wristlock, and Wristlock beats Headlock.
- 3Escalating the Sequence: If you win the hold selection, you can choose to transition to a new hold, attempt a reversal, or break the hold. If you lose, your opponent gets to choose the next hold. Winning consecutive hold selections allows you to advance the chain wrestling sequence, leading to more damaging moves or submission opportunities.
- 4Ground Game Control: Once an opponent is downed, you can apply various ground submissions or strikes. Use the right analog stick to aim your submission and the grapple button combined with directional inputs to increase pressure.
- 5Reversals: Pay close attention to your opponent's actions. Reversing their holds or attacks is key to maintaining control and preventing them from gaining momentum. The reversal prompt will appear on screen.
