Defensive Controls

There are new ways to defend yourself in WWE 2K22 including blocking, dodging, and a more in-depth reversal system. Blocking is effective against light attacks, while dodging lets you get out of the way of actions. The reversal system requires you to input button prompts depending on what kind of move you are attacked with. WWE 2K22 does not have a reversal stock like previous titles, so there is much more opportunity to reverse moves.

Grappling

The grapple system has some new gameplay elements including carry grapples and grapple combos. To carry an opponent, grapple them and then press R1 (PlayStation) or RB (Xbox). Carrying can be done with four different grapple moves using the left stick while pressing the carry button.
