WWE 2K22 will have a bit of a revamped control system. According to the development team, this new one is designed to make it so that newcomers who don’t know a whole lot about the WWE or wrestling, in general, can pick up a controller and play. But to be somewhat successful in the game, it’s probably a good idea to know how to defend yourself and block blows from the opposition. So, how can you block a strike in WWE 2K22? Here’s what you need to know.
Light, heavy, and running strikes can be blocked in WWE 2K22 by pressing and holding Y (for Xbox) or Triangle (for PlayStation). The development team confirmed strike block mechanic via the first WWE 2K22 Ringside Report video on February 2.
When pressing and holding Y or Triangle, the wrestler you are controlling will enter a blocking stance. This will allow the wrestler to block shots from the opponent.
The key with blocks is that, per the devs, successful blocks will allow your wrestler to counter-attack faster after the opponent’s flurry of strikes comes to an end. Because of this, expect blocking strikes to be somewhat of an integral part of wrestling in the upcoming WWE 2K22 game.
