Matches can stay in the ring, but then you will miss out on the most interesting aspects of the match. Use the following steps to implement the Hell in Cell environment to your advantage:

Grab A Weapon

To grab a weapon from the ringside, leave the ring and press the L1/LB button to open the weapon wheel.

Unfortunately, weapons can only be used inside the ring.

Fighting Ringside

You can take the fight to the ringside area, but the wrestlers can only use Irish Whips and strikes for their moves. However, wrestlers can throw each other through the cage wall by Irish Whipping them into the cage wall closest to the announcer's table. It usually breaks after three slams, or you can break it in one attempt with a stored finisher by pressing R2/RT + X/A when prompted. However, it's better to keep the stored finisher given the little effort it takes to break the cage wall.

With the wrestlers on top of the cage, they can fight on top of the cage and perform strikes and grapples as if they are in the ring:

Wrestling On Top Of The Cage

Wrestlers can fight on top of the cage until the four squares at the center of the cell roof become damaged, and they fall through for significant damage. It usually takes around four slams on the squares to break it.

The cell roof will show signs of damage before it breaks.

Throwing An Opponent From The Cell Roof

The wrestler with their back closest to the edge can be knocked from the top with strikes until they lose their balance. However, they won't fall through the announcer's table without a carry slam or a finisher.

Throwing An Opponent Through The Announcer's Table

  • Carry slam through the announcer's table: with the opponent at the edge of the roof and their back to the announcer's table grab them with the Circle/B button, then press R1/RB+up on the R stick to place them into the Powerbomb position. Then press the A/X button to throw them through the announcer's table.
