Mastering how to perform combos in WWE 2K23 is essential to become an expert at the game.

The highly anticipated wrestling video game releases today with exciting new features. Fans can't wait to get their hands on WWE 2K23.

So, let's see how to perform combos in WWE 2K23, and why it's so important to master this skill.

WWE 2K23 Combos

Combos are very useful in almost any match situation. They can switch the match momentum, or help set up your opponent for the finishing move.

So, every WWE 2K23 player should have a good understanding of this mechanic.

Every combo in WWE 2K23 starts with a Light Attack. To perform a Ligth Attack players need to hit Square or X.

By doing this, the combos are started, but the way players use the remaining buttons will impact the combo outcome.

A is used for Heavy Attacks, while B is for Grabbing. When using these buttons in a specific order, players will be able to perform a combo.

For example, if you hit X four times in a row with Eddie Guerrero, he will do a Right Kick to the leg. However, if you hit the X buttons three times and then the A button once, Eddie Guerrero will perform a Dropkick.

Every character in the game has different combos, with an X + A + B delivering a different move when you are playing with Brock Lesnar, and another when you are controlling John Cena.

Combo sequences are mostly either composed of four buttons or three buttons. There are some exceptions, with combo moves that are performed with just two buttons. The Gory Bomb we can see in the above picture is one of them.
