First things first, it's advised you get to grips with 2K's flashy new Payback mechanic.

As fun as it is to spit green mist into a hapless foe's eyes two minutes into the match, or as nice as it might seem to stave off that punch combo with a major comeback, it's more advisable to sit on Payback and wait. That's right, play the waiting game and pick the right spot to use 2K19's big match-changing feature.

The best time to trigger Payback is when all hope looks lost and your wrestler in in real danger of losing the match. Payback is a big momentum swinger, and you'll find that using it properly is a killer way to rack up the wins over the CPU.

Bonus tip: Instant Recovery is the most useful minor Payback and either Adrenaline Buff or Resiliency will do the job as a major one. With the latter, escaping pinfalls, submissions and other mini-games becomes automatic, and that can get you out of a jam.
