Best movesets for CAWs in WWE 2K22

Try these moves out for your CAWs!

In WWE 2K22, players can download or create custom Superstars to use in various game modes. The Create A Wrestler (CAW) option allows you to craft the perfect persona by customizing every aspect of their playstyle, including the correct move-sets. There are a plethora of move-sets that players can customize to give themselves an advantage in the ring. Ideally, you want the Superstar to have moves that will affect multiple parts of the opponent's body at the same time. Below is a list of all move-sets that we recommend players add to their CAWs in WWE 2K22.
