A new "struggle submission system" has been introduced, incorporating more ] into the game. The player executing the submission now can decide how much pressure is applied through moving the analog stick in a particular direction. Conversely, the player locked in a submission hold will have to power out using the analog stick.<ref name="IGN-2" />

The season mode and general manager mode from the previous games now have been merged to form the ] mode. Instead of the player fighting their way through the ranks of the ] to win a world title at '']'', the main quest is for the player to become a WWE legend and ultimately be inducted into the ] by completing a list of objectives.
