Wrestlers in WWE 2K25 have a wide range of techniques they can use in the ring. Some of the smaller wrestlers employ creative strategies to defeat their opponents, utilizing springboard dives and high-risk maneuvers. Although there are many high-flying moves in WWE 2K25, knowing the right time and method to execute them can be challenging. You can utilize these moves both inside the ring and outside, using the ropes for leverage or taking a leap of faith by flying over the top ropes to your opponent waiting outside. This guide will demonstrate how to perform all of them.

Springboard To The Inside In WWE 2K25
WWE wrestlers can perform rebound attacks off the ropes and the corner to execute standing springboard attacks inside the ring. Furthermore, they can use the ropes as leverage to perform dive attacks outside the ring.
Use springboard attacks sparingly, as they can leave your Superstar vulnerable, and overusing them can drain their stamina.
Springboard From The Ropes
- Grab and hold the ropes with the L1/LB button. Then move the L stick (toward the opponent) + Square, X, or B on PS/X, A, or B on Xbox.
Springboard From The Corner
- Grab and hold the ropes with the L1/LB button, then press the L stick toward the opponent + Square, X, or Circle on PS, or X, A, or B buttons on Xbox.
Springboard From The Ring Apron
- Climb outside to the apron ledge by tapping the R1/RB button. Then, hold the L1/LB button and L stick toward the opponent + Square or X on PS or X or A on the Xbox to leap over the ropes with an attack.
While high-risk moves like diving and springboard attacks are a staple of light heavyweight and cruiserweight wrestlers, some heavyweights can perform diving attacks, too. Always check a wrestler's move set.
Springboard Attacks To The Outside In WWE 2K25
Some high-flying WWE Superstars can perform springboard and diving attacks to the outside from inside the ring and from the ring apron.
Rope Grabbed Springboard To The Outside
- Get your opponent outside the ring, then hold L1/LB to grab the ropes. Then, press Square or X on PS or X or A on the Xbox to execute a springboard attack to the outside.
Rope Grabbed Springboard From The Apron
- With your opponent outside the ring, climb onto the apron with the R1/RB button. Then, hold the rope with the L1/LB button and L stick toward the opponent + Square or X on PS or X or A on Xbox to perform the dive attack.
Running Dive Attack To The Outside
- With the opponent outside, hold the L2/LT + the L stick toward the ropes to run and then time L1+Square or X. Or LB+X or A just as your wrestler approaches the ropes.
