Fixed an issue where the wrestlers would not turn around to face the target outside of the ring afterentering the ring.

There are also some pretty bold choices when it comes to controls, too. Certain wrestlers have skills that change up the way they fight, allowing them to do things others aren’t able to. WWE’s recent mainline offerings have become simulations, where players can put on well-paced bouts that wouldn’t look out of place on TV.
