Before delving into the execution, it's crucial to understand the fundamentals of submission in WWE 2K24. Submissions can be initiated both while standing and when your opponent is grounded. It can also be performed by wrestlers whose signature moves and finishers are submission-based. Mastering these maneuvers involves understanding the techniques for both standing and grounded scenarios.

To perform a standing submission, stun your opponent or grab them directly. On PlayStation, press R2 + O; on Xbox, press RT + B; and on PC, press Space + L. Executing these commands effectively locks your opponent in a submission hold while standing.

For grounded submissions, the process is relatively straightforward. Begin by striking your opponent and ensuring they're on the ground. Choose the specific body part you wish to target, such as the head, hands, upper body, or lower body. After that, press the following buttons: R2 + O on PlayStation, RT + B on Xbox, and Space + L on PC.

It's worth noting that certain wrestlers, such as Kurt Angle and John Cena, possess submission finishers. To execute these, fill out your finisher gauge and ensure you have at least one Finisher available. When your opponent is grounded, press the required finisher button to perform moves like the Angle Lock or the STF. Alternatively, you can go for standard submission moves.
