In WWE 2K19, the MyPLAYER fighting styles have been streamlined from eight in WWE 2K18, down to 5 core Fighting Styles to choose from, which are then further divided into two Sub-Styles each.
Upon creating your character in the MyPLAYER Wizard you will be able to pick one Fighting Style, and once you reach XP Level 10 you will be able to choose one of the respective Sub-Styles.
