Wrestlers in the WWE Universe use turnbuckles for various moves, such as launching themselves off for aerial attacks or driving opponents into them. InWWE 2K games, includingWWE 2K25, players can also remove the padding from the turnbuckle to expose the steel beneath it.
With the protective padding removed, the exposed steel becomes a deadly weapon. This gives you a rather brutal advantage that can completely turn the tide of the match. This guide explains how you can remove the turnbuckle inWWE 2K25and use it to inflict damage on your opponents.
When To Expose The Turnbuckle in WWE 2K25
Before you expose the turnbuckle, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, the act of removing the padding leaves you vulnerable, and a recovering opponent could seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack. As such, you need to ensure your opponent is sufficiently incapacitated and far enough away to prevent them from interrupting you. You might need to use a strongfinisher inWWE 2K25or a series of damaging strikes to keep them down.
Additionally, consider your positioning relative to your opponent and the otherWWE superstarsin the ring. You don’t want to be caught off guard from behind and be the victim of a surprise attack.
How To Expose The Turnbuckle in WWE 2K25
While the process of removing the turnbuckle in real-life wrestling is difficult and time-consuming, it’s rather simple in the WWE 2K games. The mechanics of exposing the turnbuckle inWWE 2K25are pretty similar to previous iterations.
When you’re ready to expose the turnbuckle, position your wrestler near the desired corner of the ring. To remove the protective padding, follow the instructions below:
Once you’ve pressed the keys, your wrestler will head to a corner and remove the turnbuckle padding. After the animation ends, you may use the exposed turnbuckle as a weapon to deliver devastating blows to your opponent. It’s perfect for damaging opponents in no-disqualification matches, like Hell in a Cell, and Elimination Chamber.
While exposing the turnbuckle adds a brutal element, it’s a violation of the rules. In most standardmatches inWWE 2K25, using the exposed turnbuckle against your opponent, including driving them into it, will lead to a disqualification, just like in a real WWE match.
