How to break the ring in WWE 2K24

Pick the right Superstars for the job

If you’re going to break the ring in WWE 2K24, you need to pick particular superstars to make it work. Firstly, your opponent needs to be in the Super Heavyweight weight class.

Superstars like Kevin Nash, Rikishi, Yokozuna, Kane, Vader, Umaga, and a few more all fit the bill. Super Heavyweights are the only guys big enough to do this sort of damage.

Conversely, your own Superstar will also need to be strong enough to lift them so you’ll need to be fighting as a Heavyweight or higher. Unfortunately, we won’t see “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio breaking rings any time soon.

Damage your opponent

Breaking the ring in WWE 2K24 nets you an instant win of the match so the game is going to make you work for it. You don’t want your opponent moving around while you’re attempting the setup or reversing the maneuver.

For that reason, we recommend waiting until you’ve done some significant damage to the head and body. Orange is fine but red is safest for this one.

Superplex your opponent to break the ring

To actually do the ring break in WWE 2K24, you need to have the Superplex assigned as one of your turnbuckle moves. Irish Whip your opponent into the corner by grappling with your right face button (Circle/B) then press the same button again while aiming your analog stick towards a corner.

Once your opponent is groggy in the corner, approach them and flick the right analog stick upward to sit them on the top rope. Once they’re up top, press the right face button to perform the Superplex and watch the magic happen.
