AEW Fight Forever: How to drag opponent

AEW Fight Forever has arrived, with this highly anticipated game proving a hit with the players.

With plenty of new features to get to grips with, we want to help you master the AEW Fight Forever controls and become a wrestling master.

One such key element of the game is dragging your opponent, whether that be into position for the perfect attack or simply to throw them out of the ring during a battle royale.

A simple skill to master and we've got the full breakdown below.

How to drag opponents in AEW Fight Forever

Dragging your opponent in any wrestling game is key to potential success as it allows you to set up your next big move.

For example, dragging your opponent towards the corner can lead to you performing a devastating top-rope move.

Dragging is also a key part of battle royales, with you needing to get your opponent(s) close to the top rope in order to throw them over.

It may seem like a small thing but utilising this control can lead to major rewards.

In order to drag your opponent, all you need to do is:

• Lift Opponent - R1 (PS5) / RB (Xbox)
• Drag Opponent - Left Stick in any direction during grabble (PS5 and Xbox)

It's an incredibly simple control that some often overlook but it can be key to securing the W.

Bear in mind that dragging can be countered and you'll want to make sure your opponent's health is low before attempting to lifelessly haul them across the ring.
