In AEW Fight Forever, wrestlers have unique skills that distinguish their styles and moves from one another. Bryan Danielson, for example, plays differently from Lance Archer and Paul Wight. At the same time, some wrestlers combine technical prowess with high-flying attacks like Kenny Omega. Each wrestler's unique skill allows them to pull off special attacks like stealing a finisher from their opponents.
The official roster of AEW wrestlers has locked-in skills, but created wrestlers can utilize any skills they want in AEW Fight Forever's Road to Elite. This guide will teach players how to steal an opponent's finisher during a wrestling match.
The Gimmick Infringement Skill In AEW Fight Forever
Before trying to steal an opponent's finisher in AEW Fight Forever, players must ensure their wrestler has the Gimmick Infringement skill assigned to them. Only certain wrestlers have move-stealing skills. To find it, use the following steps:
- On the main screen, press the Y button on Xbox, Triangle on PlayStation, X on Switch, or click on the settings cogwheel on the bottom left screen with a keyboard and mouse.
- Under Game Records, highlight and select Wrestler Info.
- Select the desired AEW wrestler.
- Press RB on Xbox, R1 on PlayStation, and R on Switch, or highlight and select Moves and Skills with the mouse and keyboard.
- This menu will highlight the Finishers and Signatures, but press the X button on Xbox, Square on PlayStation, Y on Switch, or click on Skill List at the bottom of the screen with a keyboard and mouse.
- In the new menu, highlight and select Action Skills.
- Ensure the Gimmick Infringement skill has a checkmark next to it, as it's required to steal an opponent's finisher.
- Wrestlers like Adam Page, Bryan Danielson, MJF, and Chris Jericho have the skill auto-assigned.
