How to Throw an Opponent Out of The Ring in WWE 2K23

Throwing your opponent out of the ring is a top-class move that we’d all love to try. This move not only gives that deep sense of satisfaction, but can also inflict significant damage on your opponent. That being said, mastering this move might require some practice, but don't worry- you'll get the hang of it.

Before you can perform this move, you need to make sure that your opponent’s health is low. So you may not be able to perform this move in the early stages of a match. When you're sure your opponent's health is low enough, press B on Xbox or the Circle button if you are playing on a PlayStation to grab them. Then, pick them up by pressing RB on Xbox or R1 on PS. Finally, on PS5, press Circle, or on Xbox, press B to throw them over the rope.

Here's what you need to do:

  • Press B on your Xbox or Circle on your PS5 to grab them.
  • Then lift your opponent by pressing RB on Xbox or R1 on PS.
  • Pressing Circle on PS and B on Xbox will release the opponent.

You can also throw an opponent out of the ring with a strong Irish Whip. To execute it, initiate a grapple by pressing the corresponding button (B for Xbox, Circle for PlayStation), and then select the Irish Whip direction by pressing the right analog stick towards the desired direction on a PS4 or the right stick on an Xbox.

In addition, you can also throw your opponent over the top rope by clotheslining them. For that, position them with their backs near the ropes and hit them a few times to weaken them. Then, press L2 and then Square/X or X/A to clothesline them over the ropes. So there you have it; throwing an opponent out of the ring is that simple. It is an important move to master if you like playing Royal Rumble matches, since you’ll have to throw your opponents out of the ring in order to eliminate them. Just be careful not to hold your opponent up for too long.
