You can help the bar go up by performing actions such as:

- Perform combo attacks.
- Top rope moves in the ring.
- Top rope moves out of the ring.
- Use of all weapons under the ring.

You have to fight as Rey Mysterio but you have complete freedom over the opponent you face. The 619 move is a signature move and not a finisher so you first need to build up your signature bar, this is the 3 blue bars directly below your vitality meter.
To fill this bar it’s nothing more than performing attacks on the AI so play a match out until all 3 bars have been filled. At this point all you need to do now is have the opponent standing and facing you there press R2+Square to trigger the 619.
C-C-C-Combo Breaker
Counter an Opponent’s Combo Using Breaker (Play Mode vs AI).
Breaker is a new feature than allows you to stop an opponent during a combo attack. When the AI is doing a combo a small Cross will appear over your head, this is similar to a counter move from previous WWE titles and the activation is the same.

- Braun Strowman.
- Ivar.
- Keith Lee.
- Otis.
- Tucker.
So it has to be one of these but you have freedom to select your opponent. Start a match and your first target is to get the AI to the ground so they stay down for a few seconds.
With that done sprint to a corner using L3 and your superstar will run and climb to turn top rope now wait for the AI to get back up and then when they are close to you press Square to perform the top rope attack.
Getting Creative
Hit your opponent with 5 different objects in one match (Play Mode vs AI).
The custom match feature can make this trophy a breeze to unlock so choose creations from the main menu followed by custom matches. Choose to create a new custom match and select a one on one match followed by extreme rules. Now work your way to the wheel wheel tab and select 6 different weapons for the 6 slots of the wheel.
With that custom match setting done give your custom match a name then save and exit this menu. Now choose the play mode option and select a one on one match followed by custom matches and load up your getting creative custom match.

On Top of the Mountain
Finish First in Ratings After a Full Season in MyGM.
As GM it’s your goal to beat a rival GM and secure the highest possible rating over the course of a season in the WWE Universe. To get this done when you start a new GM game set the AI difficulty to easy and set the season length to 15 weeks. You can be any GM and represent any of the 4 brands you wish and also compete against any GM and any of the brands you want, each GM and brand has its own unique power cards to use so select the one that suits you best.
Then pick a mixture of male and female superstars in the draft choosing different play styles, sign legends and attempt to complete the Commissioners goal each week to gain extra power cards. The weekly shows have a variety of matches so use these shows to build up rivalries, have a title match every so often and above all else make use of your promo slots to engage the fans even more as this all helps.
Then when a Pay Per View event comes round go all out on the matches by having special matches throughout the card and use your established rivalries to your advantage as a massive climax to a rivalry can trigger a massive jump in the ratings. Power cards can also come in handy to reduce your setup costs of a Pay Per View enabling you to spend more of the budget on other areas like signing a legend or 2 to your brand as the fans do love it when a legend makes a return to a WWE ring.
No matter the length of your chosen season length it will all reach a climax at WrestleMania and after this event is done the final ratings will appear a cut scene will start congratulating you on a completed season then with the rating win your Trophy will unlock.
That’s the WWE 2K22 Trophy Guide complete I hope it helps you through the game.
