He reversed it!

From Diehard GameFAN:

Even though the game lacks the Smackdown vs Raw title, don’t think this is an entirely new game. Unless they change it, the pre-match character screen is the same, the animations looked the same to me…

The now simplified controls are easy to get used to. However that’s the only thing that felt different from prior titles, the AI is STILL the same crap from every WWE game where difficulty just means the computer reverses more often.

It’s good to know that THQ has decided to stick with using the same AI from the previous games. The same amazing AI that has in the past exited then re-entered the ring for no apparent reason and that only becomes difficult by reversing every move. We look forward to some amazing matches filled with the same reversals animations over and over again, just like on real WWE TV!
