WWE 2K19: 10 Tips & Tricks To Play Like A Pro

7. Exploit The Referee's 10 Count

Count outs in WWE 2K19 take a looooooooooong time. Gone are the days of SmackDown 2: Know Your Role and refs who apparently want matches over with as soon as possible. Nowadays, they're more lax and happy to stretch a 10 count out into a 20. Take advantage of that as much as you can.

If a match looks to be going south, exit the ring and let an opponent follow. Then, remember that attacks outside the squared circle deal massive damage (this is very useful if you're a smaller wrestler who struggles to lift a bigger one; Rey Mysterio vs. Braun Strowman, for example).

Another advantage here is that select environmental attacks, like those on the announce table, barricades or steel steps, won't result in disqualifications. Those, along with smashing someone's head into the ring post, strip health more than regular moves.

God bless those dumb zebras.
