• Lift – Move close to your opponent when they are downed and press R1 or RB.
• Drag – When next to your opponent hold R2 or RT and then move the left thumbstick in the direction you want to move them.
• Turn – When your opponent is downed you can turn them to face up or down by pressing R2 or RT. If they are standing you can grapple them to turn them by pressing L1 or LB.
• Springboard finisher or Signature – Drop your opponent on the mat, get to the apron by pressing L2 or LT, and then press D-pad or move the right thumbstick. If your move requires them to be standing you can perform a wake-up taunt using the right thumbstick.
