Open up the offense a bit and cause some more Damage to Piper |

|
Stop ‘Hot Rod’ in his tracks by Reversing/Breaking his next attack! |
Reverse by using the Triangle/Y button, when prompted, as Piper attacks. Breaking is a little more tricky and requires you match the button input that Piper uses in his attack, meaning you’ll need to press Square/X at the same time as he performs a Light Attack. |

|
Now slam Piper with an Irish Whip Pullback in the ring! |
Perform an Irish Whip by grappling with Circle/B, and pressing Circle/B again while using the directional stick. To turn it into a Pullback, press Square/X or X/A before you let go of Piper. |
|
He’s going to throw everything at you, so you need to meet his fury with your own and cause more damage! |
Continue causing damage with a mixture of offensive attacks until the meter fills up. Mix up your combinations to reduce the chance of Piper reversing or countering you. |
|
Stay one step ahead and Reverse Piper’s next attack! |
Reverse an attack by pressing Triangle/Y, when prompted, as Piper launches an attack on you. |
|
Now catch him off guard by knocking him to the mat with a huge Running Clothesline! |
When Piper is standing, run towards him with L2/LT and press Square/X to perform a Running Clothesline. |
|
Get Piper seated at the top turnbuckle and unleash another attack another way! |
Irish Whip Piper into the corner, then flick the right stick up to seat him on the top turnbuckle. Once there, press any attacking button to initiate further offense. |
|
Piper looks like he’s in trouble! A bit more Damage, and he might be done! |
Keep attacking Piper with a mixture of attacks to fill up the meter and complete the objective. |
|
Now connect with an Atomic Drop! |

|
A Snap Suplex will keep you in control! |
Grapple Piper, then press Square/X and up on the left stick to perform a Snap Suplex. |
|
Follow that up with a huge Neckbreaker! |
Irish Whip Piper into the corner, then flick the right stick left or right to change his positioning. Once he is facing the turnbuckle, flick up with the right stick to seat him backwards on the top. Press X/A to perform the Neckbreaker from the top rope. |
|
Now a Backbreaker will have Piper right where you want him! |
Grapple Piper, then press Square/X and left on the left stick to perform a Backbreaker. |
|
Now put Piper in the Sharpshooter! |
Press R2/RT and X/A at a grounded Piper’s feet, or while he is standing, to perform a Sharpshooter, Bret Hart’s powerful finishing move. This will initiate a submission mini-game. |

Get a hold of Piper in the ring again for a Snap Suplex, he can’t outwrestle you! |
