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. This move will help you to shift the momentum on your side and gain the upper hand while wrestling. 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.
Before using the Power of the Punch in WWE 2K24, you must fill the Signature Bar (blue bar under your health). Once it is filled, you can use it by pressing the following buttons on your respective Consoles or PC:
- PC: Press Space + O
- PlayStation: Use R2 + Triangle
- Xbox X/S: Use RT + Y
After hitting the Power of the Punch in WWE 2K24, your opponent will be stunned. From here, it is up to you if you want to attempt a Pinfall or inflict more damage.
Tips for Using the Power of the Punch
Here is a tip that can help you use the Power of the Punch even while playing a normal match. What you have to do is simply go to the corner of the ring and remove the Turnbuckle pads. It is a cover that is tied on the hard corners of the ring for the wrestler’s safety. The Referee will try to stop you while you are trying to remove the Turnbuckle pad. While the Ref is busy tying the pad again, you can hit your opponent with the Power of the Punch in WWE 2K24.
To remove the Turnbuckle Pad, use these controls:
- PC: Hold Space and Press U
- PlayStation 5: Hold R2 and Press L1
- Xbox X/S: Hold RT and Press LB
