  1. Select an applicable game mode where a table will be a weapon wheel option e.g Table Match or Extreme Rules Match
  2. Begin the match and score tons of offense until you get a ‘Finisher’
  3. Now, make sure you’re outside the ring and stand in the middle of the apron on any side of the ring
  4. Then press L1 on PlayStation, LB on Xbox, or the assigned key on PC
  5. Your chosen star will lift up the apron, and a weapon wheel will appear
  6. Hover over the table icon and select it
  7. You’ll then pull out a table, and you need to set it up
  8. Once you’ve done that, stand next to the table and you’ll get a prompt to ‘Ignite it’
  9. Do so, and watch as your character pulls out lighter fluid, squirts it on the table, and sets the table on fire

The rest should be simple enough but be warned, if your opponent gets the upper hand, then they could literally turn the firey tables on you! If you can successfully put someone through the inferno, then you’re guaranteed to do some serious damage and increase your match’s star rating to appease Dave Meltzer.
