Finishing Moves In WWE
11. Cesaro The Neutralizer
Cesaro is pound for pound one of the strongest wrestlers in all over wrestling, the amount hes able to dead lift is always a joy to watch. This is no more apparent then when he busts out The Neutralizer on guys like Big Show, literally picking them up, holding them upside down, and slamming them face first.
Much like Ambroses Dirty Deeds, its not really flamboyant, but what sets this one higher on the list is the spectacle of seeing someone like The Great Khali getting lifted up and dropped down.
12. Finn Balor Double Foot Stomp
This one is all about the setup, the climb, the slight hesitation on the top rope, the long drop, and finally, stomping out his foe. Its a tough move to pull off because Finn isnt actually looking to stomp out the other guy, so he needs to pull up a bit on the landing.
Due to this, the blow can look a little soft, but crowds love it nonetheless. Its a fantastic exclamation point to get the 1 2 3 , especially when hes all painted up, it just looks awesome on TV.
13. Fandango Diving Leg Drop
Fandango also has a finisher from the top rope, but his just looks more devastating as he drops his leg across his challengers neck. Just think about having someone jump high above you and land right down on your neck! Its a tricky move that Fandango make looks pretty simple, not only avoiding real damage to his opponents neck, but himself, as well.
14. Sheamus Brogue Kick
This move just fits The Celtic Warrior so perfectly; its straight to the point and can look quite brutal when sold properly. Thanks to Sheamus size, a leaping kick to the face is quite devastating, and doesnt require much of a setup to execute.
As one of WWEs Hosses, Sheamus moveset tends to be more on the blunt side, and this finisher is no exception. If he ever gets a chance to cash in his Money in the Bank opportunity, this move will most likely be the reason he becomes the next WWE champion. Youre excitement of that prospect will vary depending on what you think of him.
15. Roman Reigns Spear
Plenty of people have used the Spear over the years (Goldberg, Rhyno, Charlotte, Edge, and Bobby Lashley) and while Reigns may not be the best performer of the maneuver, it definitely fits his body type and persona.
With long black hair flying everywhere, Reigns plows through his opponent, much to the delight of the fans. Its an aggressive, full speed type of move that can land a win or end in disaster for Reigns, if he misses.
16. Kane Chokeslam
A classic move that has won Kane an obscene amount matches, by gripping his foe by the neck, fear instantly is shown as they know whats coming next. The crowd bellows as Kane lifts up the poor unfortunate soul, and slams them down with furious anger.
Since Kane is from Hell and all, the whole move is perfect symbolism for the totality of his character as he is literally sending whoever hes fighting, straight to Hell.
17. Paige P T O Paige Tap Out
Originally popularized by Japanese wrestler, Bull Nakano, Paige wanted to give props, and now uses it regularly in the WWE. The P.T.O. is great because it literally ties up every limb, so her opponent has virtually no way of getting out of it.
Basically, their only options are to wither in pain, eventually verbally tapping out, or by meekly tapping out with their hand, hoping the ref notices it, to end the suffering.
18. Sasha Banks Bank Statement
The Boss is higher up on the list for creatively combining an impact move with a logical submission. First, she drives her knees into her challengers back, also known as a Backstabber, flipping her opponent over, and applying a bridging Crossface. This basically applies massive pressure on the injured back.
The move has helped Sasha win the NXT Womens Championship, and most likely will get her the Divas Championship down the road.
19. Dudley Boys 3D
This move can be done with or without a table, but much like bacon, a table makes everything better. In terms of tag team moves, this is one of the greatest ever; D Von lifts and brings down the opponent, while Bubba adds a Cutter for added damage.
Much of the Dudleys popularity has come from using tables, so bringing them into the mix has made this move look even more devastating. Its pretty hard to find a crowd that doesnt explode when someone gets a 3D through a table, thats how good this move is.
20. Chris Jericho Liontamer
The only person with two moves on this list is Y2J, some could argue the Lionsault should be here too, but trying to spread the love a bit. The Liontamer is rarely used these days, as its a fairly dangerous move to pull off, twisting and contorting his opponent in terrible ways.
Its basically a Boston Crab, but Jericho puts his knee on his opponents neck or back, depending on how flexible they are. In one of the more painful looking submission holds, most wrestlers tap out fairly quickly
