WWE 2K22has added lots of new mechanics in this year’s release, which extends to reversals and counterattacks. The game has added ways to interrupt an opponent’s combination attacks and standing grapples on the feet.

The mechanics are somewhat arcadey in their execution as it requires some quick thinking and a little bit of luck for the attack interruptions and counters to work. Where reversals still require timing and skill, these new counters rely on a bit of luck and some educated guesswork from the player.
