Combos in WWE 2K25 are a series of regular strike attacks done in a sequence. There are three types of combos: Quick, Heavy, and Grapple. Any sequence of buttons that ends with Square on Playstation and X on Xbox is a Quick combo. For a Heavy combo, you end it with X on PlayStation and A on Xbox. Lastly, for a Grapple combo, you end it with Circle on PlayStation and B on Xbox.
Quick combo is a series of quick strikes that stun the enemy briefly. On the other hand, Heavy combo delivers a series of strikes that downs your opponent with a heavy blow. The Grapple combo, unlike the other two, ends with a grapple move after the player delivers some punches. In this, an animation plays out to perform a powerful move and signal the end of the combo.
To perform a combo, you have to press the respective buttons in a predetermined order. To see the combo button sequence, pause the game, find the “Combos” menu option by scrolling down, and select it. Here, you will see a plethora of button prompts that you can execute to perform special moves. Memorize these combos, and then resume your game to try them out.
For instance, if a combo says (X, Square, Circle) for a Gutwrench Powerbomb, then you have to press the respective buttons in the given order to execute the move. The first two buttons will be a series of strikes, and when you press Circle, your character will then lock into an animation to perform the Gutwrench Powerbomb and complete the combo. Each character has different combos, so make sure to familiarize yourself with a moveset before jumping into online matches.
Note that the grapple moves you perform using combos can also be executed using standard grapples. Combos are just a seamless way to transition into those grapple attacks using strikes.
