AEW Fight Forever: Skills & Stats Explained

AEW Fight Forever doesn't explicitly state which wrestlers are the best in the game as there is a lack of a rating system like in the WWE 2K series. It lets players pick wrestlers based on their favorites, playing style, and moves, rather than picking John Cena, Hulk Hogan, or Roman Reigns for every match locally or online.

There is more of an even playing field in AEW Fight Forever, but there is still a hidden rating system that determines which wrestlers are better suited to certain styles of matches. Discovering an AEW wrestler's stats and skills isn't clear, but this guide will explain how to locate stats and what they mean.

Where to Find Skills and Stats in AEW Fight Forever

AEW Fight Forever has several settings to play around with that affect gameplay and provide information on a wrestler's stats. To access the wrestler's information and stats, use the following steps:

On the main screen, press the Y button on Xbox, Triangle on the PlayStation, X on the Switch, or select the settings cogwheel on the bottom left of the screen with a keyboard on a mouse.
Under Game Records, highlight and select the Wrestler Info tab.
Highlight and select the desired AEW wrestler.
Access the Skill List by pressing the X button on Xbox, Square on the PlayStation, Y on the Switch, or click on it with the mouse.
Now players can access Stat Skills, Action Skills, and Passive Skills.

Stat Skills in AEW Fight Forever

The overall Stat Skills are scored out of 100 for this section. It indicates an AEW wrestler's momentum, signature, and finisher strengths. Moreover, it will display how many finishers and signature slots are stored in their moveset. Each section has a maximum number of five green bars. For example, if the Momentum slot has five bars, the wrestler will be more capable of regaining the advantage in a match.

Action Skills in AEW Fight Forever

The action skills section affects the kinds of moves and attacks a wrestler can perform in the ring. For example, high-flying wrestlers would have skills like Springboard Offense, Tope Offense, and Kip Up. A technical wrestler will have skills like Sprint Technician, Quick Mount, and Bail Out. There are also rulebreaking attacks like the Unsportsmanlike and the Desperation Impulse, which can result in a low-blow attack.

Passive Skills in AEW Fight Forever

Passive Skill represents a wrestler's behavior and performance in the ring, providing them with performance buffs during matches. Wrestlers proficient at grappling and submissions may have Chain Wresting, Submission Toughness, and Submission Specialist skills. Paul Wight - AKA The Big Show or The Giant - for example, has the Unyeilding Poise skill, which makes them tough to slam and control in the ring.
