Tips
Learn to counter effectively, anticipate the timing of opponents’ moves. Isolate your opponent without giving them a chance to tag in tag matches. Double team legally, have the outside person interfere as much as legally possible. Stay in the center of the ring if you want to survive longer in Battle Royals and Royal Rumbles. Double team when someone is on the apron, having more people helping take out gives you a higher chance of victory. Attack vulnerable or stunned opponents in Elimination Chamber matches to increase your meter and allow for signature moves. Stay out of the way of the main action in Elimination Chamber matches.

negatives
- Online purchase code for more content. Full online access is 6.29 for any used or rented copy of the game! Around 15% of the RRP value of a first hand copy
- There is still no full Royal Rumble quota of 30 real players
- It can take a long time to get into a Royal Rumble match
- No option to disable online lobby chat
- The crowd still looks poor.
- Too frequent disconnections (patches can solve this)
- The sounds of the crowd don’t match the action. You’ve won the Royal Rumble and you can hear a pin drop in a Diva’s cleavage!
- Royal Rumbles isn’t nearly as frenetic, action-packed, or crowded as it should be. Simply Battle Royal has another name.
- Matches where tickets are ‘activated’ can take 8 minutes before you actually play, and when there aren’t many people online and only these types of matches (with tickets ‘activated’) it can be frustrating.
- You will probably never play in most match types.
- The comment can be repetitive and annoying.
- Too many Irish whips and button hits in the rumble
- ‘Championship Scrambles’ frequently end in a draw, too difficult to pin opponents
