WWE 2K22 Settings & Options

While most other WWE 2K22 Settings are down to your own personal preference, there are a few we suggest taking a look at and considering depending on how you want the game to feel.

  • Reversal Prompt & Superstar HUD
    • If you would rather the matches look more like they are on TV, and increase the challenge significantly, each of these can be turned off under Presentation in Options.
  • Blood
    • If you turn on Blood in Gameplay Options, it'll allow in-game supestars to start bleeding if enough damage is dealt to the forehead.
  • Watermark Image
    • If you like the look of the WWE Live overlay as if things are broadcasting on TV as you're playing, turn this setting on.
  • Display Referee Counts
    • Turning this off will take away the large "1, 2, 3" count that appears on-screen during pinfalls.

Try these changes, but don't be afraid to swap them back or go with something completely different until you've got just the right WWE 2K22 balance.
