Fighting Inside The Steel Cage In WWE 2K25

Throw Opponents Into The Cage

Hold the L-stick + B/Circle, aim toward the cage to slam your opponents over the rope and face-first into the fence.
Press the B/Circle to grab your opponent. Then press LB/L1 to drag them toward the ropes. When the X/Square appears above your wrestler’s head, press it to throw your opponent back-first into the cage.

Carry Moves Into The Cage

Grab the opponent with B/Circle.
Press RB/R1 to lift them on your shoulder, then walk to the cage to throw them headfirst into it.
Press RB/R1 + R-stick up, down, left, or right to hold them into other carry positions.
Walk them towards the steel cage and press B/Circle when it appears.

Avoid carrying your opponents for too long, as it’ll drain your wrestler’s stamina.

Diving Attack From The Top Rope

Press the RB/R1 button to climb the cage.
When your wrestler reaches the middle rope, walk them across the cage.
When in position, press the X/Square or A/X to perform a diving attack in WWE 2K25.

Diving From The Top Of The Cage

Climb the cage again, and when the WWE Superstar is straddled over the top of the cage, instead of pressing LB/L1 to escape, press RB/R1 to stand on the top of the cage. Then press X/Circle or A/X to dive from the top of the cage.

How To Win The Steel Cage Match In WWE 2K25

In a Steel Cage fight, you can emerge victorious either by making your adversary submit or pinning them down, similar to a typical bout. However, there are unique ways to secure victory: you can exit the cage via the door or scale its top to reach the outside. Before attempting an escape, it’s wise to unleash numerous signature and final moves on your opponent, rendering them unconscious for as long as possible on the mat.

Escape Through The Cage Door

Walk to the corner where the referee is standing and press LB/L1 to get the ref to open the door.
After the referee has unlocked the cage, press the RB/R1 and finish the minigame to escape.

Escape Over The Cage

As a gamer, breaking free from that steel cage can feel pretty aggravating. It’s a real challenge, what with having to conquer two mini-games first. And let me tell you, it’s not easy to dodge my opponent when they’re quick to grab my wrestlers and yank them back into the ring. But remember, just like before, we gotta keep ’em off balance by using our signature moves to stun them.

Stand near the cage wall and press the LB/L1 to climb and stand up on the top rope.
Then press the RB/R1 button to begin climbing.
Then press LB/L1 to initiate the minigame to escape. You must finish the minigame before your opponent stops you from escaping over the cage.

Here’s all you need to effectively turn the cage into a tool for winning the fight, either by exiting through the door or scaling the fence.
