The game's wrestling mechanics are similar to those found in versus fighters, with an emphasis on combo-based attacks. Players can perform exaggerated signature moves, including slow-motion effects and supernatural elements, such as diving high into the air. The game features popular WWE wrestlers from its time, as well as legendary WWF wrestlers from the past.
The game includes a Path Of Champions mode, where players can choose to become a WWE Champion, World Heavyweight Champion, or WWE Tag Team Champions. This mode allows players to experience the story of their chosen wrestler and aim for championship glory.
