WWE 2K23 Early Reviews: 10 Major Details We Learned
7. Certain Superstars Have Unique Kickout Animations
Like with the unique reversals, it's unclear as of yet as to whether or not every in-game WWE Superstar will have a unique kickout animation, nor if you'll be able to assign one to your own custom Superstar - but they're a nice touch nonetheless.
Thus far, the likes of Becky Lynch, Rhea Ripley, and Liv Morgan have been shown to display unique reactions, either to kicking out or to their opponent doing so. 'Big Time Becks' has a generic-looking show of frustration, which could very well be a sign that there are basic ones to choose for your own creations, while Rhea's is more special to her, as she backs away from her adversary on one knee, glaring at them.
As for Liv, she was shown in the aforementioned Smacktalks video being pinned by Shotzi. Upon kicking out at one, Liv - potentially at the start of the match, indicated by her largely full health bar - easily lifts the green-haired Superstar off her, stays on all fours for a couple of seconds as she stares at Shotzi.
It's a small tweak that'll positively change how matches play out.
