AEW: Fight Forever, the new wrestling game from upstart promotion All Elite Wrestling, has arrived, and for the most part it’s a solid debut. The game offers a variety of ways to play, from ladder matches to the dreaded Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match, but surprisingly, perhaps the hardest type of match to win is a good, old-fashioned tag team match.

　　AEW: Fight Forever tag matches reflect those seen on AEW TV, with their non-stop interference, double-teaming, and broken-up pins. That’s all fine and good, but sometimes it feels impossible to gain an advantage and actually finish a tag match, particularly when teamed with an AI partner. This can be a problem, as Fight Forever’s career mode throws you into a lot of tag matches. Here are some tag team tips that will help you actually come out on top…

Spend most of your time on the apron

　　So, let your AI teammate do most of the work – they’re actually pretty adept. Once they look like they’re going to go for a pin, position yourself on the apron in such a way that you can beeline across the ring and cut off the other member of the opposing team looking to break up the pin. With Fight Forever’s momentum system, it’s very difficult to keep members of the opposing team down for any length of time. Cutting them off at the last second like this is your best bet.

Double team while you can

Sneak in those extra shots

　　There you go, a few basic tips for getting through those career mode tag matches. AEW: Fight Forever launches tomorrow (June 29) on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and Switch. You can check out Wccftech’s full review of the game here and some general tips here.
