Executing Springboard Attacks Inside The Ring

Then, push the right stick towards your opponent and press the Square button on the PlayStation or the X button on the Xbox. This will execute the springboard attack seamlessly during your match.

To grab the ropes from the corner, hold the L1/LB button and push the R stick towards the opponent while pressing Square or X on PS, or X or A on Xbox.
Springboard Attacks To The Outside
To perform a running springboard attack, simply hold the L2/LT button and push the R stick towards the ropes to start running. Then, press L1 + Square or X, or LB + X or A slightly before your wrestler reaches the ropes or the corner. This will allow you to execute a springboard attack towards the outside of the ring.
When a WWE wrestler is already outside the ring, the player in the ring can grab the ropes by holding L1. Then, they can press Square or X on PS or X or A on the Xbox to perform a springboard attack to the outside.
