How to Call for Tag in WWE 2K23: A Simple Guide
Alright, listen up, you young whippersnappers! Wanna know how to tag your partner in that there WWE 2K23 game? It ain’t rocket science, I tell ya. It’s easier than pie, even I can figure it out, and I ain’t no spring chicken.
So, you’re in the ring, wrestlin’ away, and you’re tired, beat up, need a breather. Time to call in your buddy! Here’s the lowdown, plain and simple, like how I like my mashed potatoes.
The Basic Tag, It’s a Piece of Cake
First things first, you gotta be in your corner. You know, that spot where your partner’s hangin’ out, lookin’ all eager to jump in. Can’t just tag from anywhere in the ring, silly goose! It ain’t tag team wrestling if you can tag from across the ring.
- If you’re playin’ on that PlayStation thingamajig, you gotta press that L1 button. Just a little tap, nothin’ fancy.
- Now, if you’re on that Xbox contraption, it’s the LB button you need to poke. Same thing, just a quick tap.
See? Easy peasy, lemon squeezy! That’s your regular tag, gets your partner in, and you get a little rest. Don’t go taggin’ in and out like a scaredy cat though, you gotta time it right, you know?
Tagging from the Apron, a Little Trickier
Now, sometimes you find yourself on the outside, on that apron thingy. Maybe you got knocked out, maybe you’re strategizin’. Tagging from there is a bit different, a little more fiddly.

On them PlayStation machines, the PS4 and PS5, it ain’t just a one button thing. You gotta hold down that R2 button like you’re holdin’ onto a prize-winning pumpkin, and then you press that L1 button. Two buttons at once! I know, sounds complicated, but you’ll get the hang of it. It’s like holdin’ the reins of a horse and then tellin’ it to giddy up.
I ain’t sure about that Xbox thing on the apron, ain’t got one of them myself. But I reckon it’s somethin’ similar, maybe holdin’ one button and pressin’ another. You youngsters are good at figurin’ things out, you’ll manage.
Getting the AI to Tag You, That’s the Real Head-Scratcher
Now, here’s where things get a bit more complicated. You want your partner, that computer fella, to tag you in? That ain’t always so easy. Sometimes that AI is as stubborn as a mule.
Some folks say you can’t ask the AI to tag you, that it does what it wants. Like my ol’ rooster, always crowin’ when he pleases. But, I heard tell there might be ways to nudge ’em a bit.
- Make sure you’re in a good position in the corner. Don’t be standin’ there lookin’ at the ceiling, be active, like you’re ready to go!
- Try movin’ around a bit, gettin’ your partner’s attention. Like wavin’ a red flag at a bull, sometimes you gotta make some noise.
- Some say if you keep pressin’ that tag button, eventually the AI might get the hint. Worth a shot, I reckon.
Honestly, it seems like a lot of folks are havin’ trouble with this. It ain’t just you, so don’t go feelin’ like a fool. Maybe they’ll fix it up in the next game, make it easier for us old folks.

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
Remember, tag team wrestling is all about teamwork. You gotta work together with your partner, whether it’s a real person or that computer fella. Cover each other, make them tags count, and don’t leave your partner hangin’ out to dry!
Now, some folks are talkin’ about fancy tag moves and special finishes. That’s all well and good, but if you can’t even get the basic tag down, you ain’t gonna get far. Gotta learn to walk before you can run, you know?
And that’s about all there is to it. It ain’t complicated, just a few buttons to press. Now get out there and wrestle, and don’t forget to tag your partner! And if you see that AI bein’ stubborn, well, just yell at the screen a bit, that’s what I do. Works every time…well, sometimes.
Remember, practice makes perfect, like bakin’ a good apple pie. The more you play, the better you’ll get. So, go on, have fun, and don’t let them computer fellas push you around!
