Building upon the foundation set by its predecessors, the game features an extensive roster of WWE Superstars, legends, and Hall of Famers, allowing players to create their dream matches. The gameplay emphasizes a return to a more arcade-like experience compared to the previous entries, integrating a new "Reversal" system, where timing is critical, allowing players to counter moves with precision.

The "Creation Suite" has also seen enhancements, providing deeper customization options for wrestlers and arenas. Additionally, returning features such as "Universe Mode" and online gameplay options add to the game’s replayability, allowing fans to simulate entire seasons, create rivalries, or challenge others in exciting matches. With its roster packed with talent, improved gameplay mechanics, and a rich suite of modes, WWE 2K19 caters to both long-time fans of the series and newcomers to the wrestling video game genre.
