After a hard-fought match, you finally hit your finisher and go for the pin to put your opponent away, only for the game to decide that their pinky toe was a millimeter under the bottom rope, and thus, the pin is declared a ropebreak.
This is one of the most frustrating occurrences in wrestling games, where all your hard work is thrown away because of bad placement in the ring. However, while AEW Fight Forever never explains it, there is a way to move your opponent when they’re laying on the floor. We’ll explain how to drag your opponent in AEW Fight Forever.
Before you can go for the pin, you’ll need to know how to get and use finishers in the game. Plus, you can find some of the secrets with hidden WWE entrances and unlockable Cody Rhodes.
With your opponent laying on the floor, press and hold RT on Xbox/R2 on PlayStation to drag your opponent around the ring. This will let you pull them away from the ropes and have a clean pin following a finisher.
Note that this only works when the opponent is laying down, hitting RT/R2 when they’re standing up will instead excuse an Irish Whip.
Similarly, if you want to stand an opponent up in preparation for a big move, simply go up to them and tap RB on Xbox/R1 on PlayStation to drag them to their feet.
