3 Wrestlers who desperately need a new finisher

For an amazing finisher, look no more distant than Randy Orton's RKO or Roman Reigns' Spear. Both are immediately executed and are sudden and impactful. Another strong case, though with a bend, would be Samoa Joe's Coquina Clutch. It's magnificent to watch Joe's thick edge fold over another powerless wrestler, and the reality he can put it on practically anyone on the list is the best part about it.

But that's not all about a wrestler and a finisher. It additionally should fit a wrestler's character, be sufficiently over that it can solidly complete a match and look cool. Finding the correct one when nearly everything has been done before must be a bad dream.

It's a bad dream the names on this rundown need to wake up from and get considering, in light of the fact that the finishers they have go from horrendous to sick fitting or stale.

While one might not agree with the list that I have put up here, I firmly believe these wrestlers can do a lot with a better finisher. A good finisher does make a great wrestler because of how the fights conclude.


#3 Sami Zayn (Finisher: Helluva Kick)

Why it needs to be changed: When Sami comes back from damage at some point in the coming months, his torn rotator will come out as a relief for the wrestler. The silver covering to Zayn's agony is that he'll feel crisp again, and the WWE universe will have disregarded his dreadful quarrel with Bobby Lashley and everybody will be satisfied to see him.

That may make staying heel a task for him, at the same time, paying little respect to regardless of whether he remains a heel or re-grasps the babyface life, Sami must locate another completing move. The Helluva Kick, while an OK slice off strike part of the way through a match, isn't adequate.

#2 Bobby Roode (Finisher: The Glorious DDT)

Why it needs to be changed: As much as Bobby Roode needs a career resurgence, he also needs a new finisher. Bobby Roode has been a complete miss in WWE so far. After an amazing run at NXT, Roode completely lost every bit of authority he had over his glorious character.

While Roode as a babyface was not completely a bad idea because of how much the audience supported him when he made his main roster appearance. But Roode's finishers always lacked the quality that Bobby Roode as a wrestler is. No wonder a heel turn and change of finisher can do wonders for the wrestler.

#1 Kevin Owens (Current Finisher: Pop-Up Powerbomb)

Why It Needs To Be Changed: I am not buying the Kevin Owens's "I Quit" as being a real story. Kevin Owens returning in the indies or leaving WWE only seems to be a storyline that has been taken way too seriously. What Kevin Owens need is a new character with a new storyline. Pop-Up Powerbomb is okayish at it's best.

It's a move used by all other wrestlers during a fight, but a powerbomb as a finisher for someone who has been time and again credited for his in-ring performances looks really weak to pin down a wrestler. Kevin Owens needs to up his game. A change in the finisher which can be used on wrestlers of all size will do the magic.

Truth be told, there was no chance, Kevin Owens, using his Pop-Up Powerbomb on Braun Strowman during his feud against the monster. Also, Kevin Owens using the stunner on Seth Rollins was amazing.
