Gameplay Hints and Tips

1. Once an opponent is groggy, you can spin them around 180 degrees by pressing the C Button.
2. If you'd rather kick out of pins by rapidly pressing all the buttons, go to the Match Options and change the Kick Out System to "Original".
3. To effectively put your opponent down for good, charge your momentum meter enough to execute a signature move. Performing it will raise your meter enough to perform a finisher and knock your opponent out long enough for the pin.
4. If your meter is close to achieving a finisher or signature, throw your opponent out of the ring or disable him in some way. Then, perform a taunt to boost your momentum meter past the mark.
5. Choosing the Play matches counts towards your WWE Universe profile.
6. The quickest way to unlock new superstars is to play WWE Universe and win the matches that Vince MacMahon arranges after an initial victory.
7. In triple threat, four-way or six-pack matches, perform as many double teams as possible to increase your momentum meter. When you have a signature or finisher available turn on your ally so that now all your opponents are more weakened than you.
8. If you are losing a match by a large margin, take any opportunity you can to disable the referee and buy yourself some time to avoid being pinned sooner.
9. In submission matches, drag a downed player to the middle of the ring to avoid a rope break.
10. For certain moves such as suplexes, powerbombs and top rope attacks, watch for the on-screen indication that you can perform a follow-up pin, then press the C Button.
11. If a manager or ringside opponent is interrupting your pinfalls, run towards the apron when they stand on it and perform a strike attack. You can also exit the ring and disable them in a one-on-one confrontation.
12. A successful way to victory without using pinfall or submission in a normal match-up is to put your opponent through the commentators table. Then, re-enter the ring and wait for the ref to count them out.
13. In non-disqualification matches, you can pull weapons out from under the ring or from the crowd by facing the area and pressing the Z Button.
14. You can restart a referee's count out by jumping back and forth between the ring and the outside.

Ladder Match Objective:

Table Match Objective:

Put the opponent or opponents through one of the provided tables by either performing a move that slams them through it or laying them on top of the table and jumping on top of them.

Controls

• Pick Up Ladder: Z Button

• Set up Ladder: Hold Z button

• Move a Set-Up Ladder or Table: Hold Z Button while standing near the side of a ladder or table.

• Release Ladder: Release Z Button while dragging ladder.

• Climb Ladder: Move towards ladder rungs and press the Z Button.

Hints and Tips

1. Look for the shadow cast on the ring by the suspended object. Place the ladder on top of it to get directly beneath the prize.
2. A chair is the lightest weapon available to you in these matches, so it's easy to get off multiple hits with it in a very short space of time. This makes it ideal for taking out your opponents long enough to climb the ladder.
3. In tag team ladder matches, one player should take a weapon and fend off the opponents, while the other focuses on climbing the ladder.
4. In tag team table matches, a good strategy is to have one player focus on getting the opponent on the table while the other one perches on an elevated position ready to jump through it.
5. When fighting with someone on top of a ladder, use your strikes instead of your grapples to disable them. This will throw them off the ladder without performing of move that takes you with them.
6. When an opponent has the ladder knocked out from under them, but hangs from the suspended object, you can perform grapple attacks on them or get on the top turnbuckle and perform a striking attack on them as well.
7. In table matches the commentator table will not be as easy to break as in other matches. You will need to perform a finishing or signature maneuver to make it count as a win.
8. The most strategic position for a table is to lean it in the corner, so you won't have to aim as precisely when irish whipping opponents into it.

Objective

Climb over the walls of the cage and put your feet on the ground before your opponent does.

Controls

Climb Up Cage: Control Stick + Z Button

Escape from Cage: Z Button at the top of the cage

Diving Attack From the Top of Cage: A Button / Control Stick + A Button

Pull Opponent off Cage: B Button + Control Stick

Get Down From Cage Safely: C Button

Hints and Tips

1. Perform a signature and finishing maneuver twice to put your opponent down long enough to escape the cage.
2. Your irish whip is a much more effective attack in this match as it will send your opponent crashing into the cage wall.
3. Choose your escape moment wisely, because if your opponent pulls you off the top of the cage the impact will weaken you significantly.
4. Performing an attack from the top of the cage offers no advantage at all. If you connect then your opponent will be completely decimated, but if you miss then you'll be almost completely knocked out. This option exists to deliver more insult than injury so it's smarter to just escape the cage when you reach the top

Objective

Depending on the match stipulations, you and a partner team up against another team, sometimes tagging each other to rotate in an out of the action.

Basic Controls:

Tag: Z Button

Corner Double Team Grapple Moves: Irish whip an opponent toward your corner, hold the B Button and move the Control Stick left or right; your waiting partner most be positioned near the turnbuckle where a tag would normally occur.

Hints and Tips

1. In tag team matches, avoid climbing the turnbuckle by your opponents teammates, as they will disrupt your attack.
2. If you are in a gender-mixed tag match, avoid pitting divas against regular superstars unless the superstar is injured or weakened.
3. If you are on the apron waiting for a tag, climb back in the ring if your partner executes his finisher to ward off opponents who will break up the pin.
4. When pinning an opponent, first drag them into the corner by your teammate.
5. If your teammate picks up a weapon or has a finisher executed on them, then it is the ideal time to distract the ref.

Objective:

Win by pinfall or submission while trapped inside a cage that encases the ring and surrounding area with no disqualifications.

Controls

Throw Opponent Off Top Edge of Cell: B Button + Control Stick toward opponent at edge of Cell.

Environmental Grapple: B Button + Control Stick when near a Cell wall.

Cell Destruction Finisher: A Button + B Button inside of the Cell on the same side as the commentary tables when signature or finishing maneuvers are available.

Hints and Tips

1. In matches with more than one opponent, it's unwise to take things outside the cage, because a pinfall could occur while you're away.
2. With little room for escape, take advantage of the weapons underneath the ring as well as the stairs to gain the advantage.
3. You can also jump from the top of the cage onto your opponent but whether you hit him or not, the impact will almost completely knock you out.
4. Irish whipping your opponent while on top of the cage is the most effective way to get him thrown off the edge.

Controls

Climb Up Chamber Wall: Control Stick toward Chamber Wall + Z Button.

Pull Opponent Down from Top of Chamber: Control Stick + Z Button while on turnbuckle beneath opponent.

Hints and Tips

1. If you are the first person competing, build up your signature and finisher as quickly as possible to eliminate the opponent before the first chamber opens.
2. Pinfalls can occur anywhere so isolate your opponents on the outside to finish them without interference.
3. When there are two opponents left, try and stay out of their way and build up your momentum. When one has been eliminated, take advantage.
4. Climbing on top of the chamber will draw attention, so make your move quickly or wait until all opponents are incapacitated.

Controls

Set Opponent on Fire: Drag your opponent by holding Z Button + B Button and moving the Control Stick towards the ropes when your opponent is in a weakened state.

Hints and Tips

1. The least effective way to raise the temperature is with 4 hit strike combos.

3. When the flames are at maximum settings you can try t throw your opponent through the fire and out of the ring for the victory.
4. The maximum temperature that can be reached is 500 degrees.

Objective: Survive a 10, 20 or 30 Superstar free-for-all in a single match. They only way to eliminate your opponent is to toss them over the top rope. The last man standing is the winner.

3. If you have the option, choose your entry order as being at least half the number of entries.
4. Perform finishers and signature maneuvers to weaken your opponent and make the elimination controls easier to operate.
5. If you are weakened or injured, stay in the middle of the ring to avoid being tossed over the ropes.
6. Focus in on opponents who are already in danger of being eliminated by other superstars as they will be easier targets for elimination.

Objective:

Battle backstage and in the ring to defeat a specific superstar at Wrestlemania.

Gameplay

Along the way you'll be given different options as to how to proceed, such as: who to team up with, who to take orders from and who to betray. You will also gain SP points to upgrade your attributes and improve the skill of your super star.

SP points are obtained by gaining victories in matches whether backstage or in the ring and can be used in the training room by talking to the doctor. You will be alerted to how many points you've earned by text messages you receive from Mr. McMahon.

Matches are played on a week by week basis and can be any type of match against any superstar. This is determined by storyline options that are sometimes presented to you as well as rulings made by whatever GM you answer to. You can also approach superstars in the backstage area and choose to talk or push them. Push them three times and this will trigger a backstage battle.

Sometimes matches will have special parameters that you will need to complete before being allowed to move on. These can include anything from targeting a certain player in a royal rumble to performing three finishing maneuvers in a single match.

Hints and Tips

1. Even though they are only worth 50 SP apiece, start as many backstage battles as you can find to increase your attributes.
2. For advantage purposes, it's always better to accept a partnership rather than turn it down.
3. Change your targeting to manual as you are often targeted by outside interference during this mode.
4. Sometimes your next match will not be available until you complete some other minor task such as interact with another superstar or, in the case of the Undertaker Road, collect souls. These missions will be indicated on the map as red or pink dots.
5. In the 5 Star matches, kill two birds with one stone by executing a finisher on top of the announcer table.
