Payback is a returning feature in WWE 2K24 that can help you turn the tables in no time. One of the Payback Moves that is mostly used by Heel characters on TV is the Power of the Punch. No, we are not talking about Roman Reigns’ Superman Punch but hitting your opponent with a Brass Knuckle.

However, it should be noted that using Power of the Punch requires a setup, otherwise you can lose the match via DQ (Disqualification).

In this guide, we will explain how to use the Power of the Punch in WWE 2K24. So, if you didn’t already know about this Payback move, this is the right time to get started.

How to Use Power of the Punch in WWE 2K24

If you are playing a Normal Singles or Tag Match, make sure that you do not get caught by the Referee while using the Power of the Punch. Since normal matches have disqualification rules, you can not use weapons and equipment in them. But if you are playing a No Holds Barred or any other match with a “No Disqualification” stipulation then you can redeem its benefit.
