5 Movie scenes where WWE Superstars used their finishers

Today, WWE is one of the biggest global media giants and boasts over a billion followers across social media. WWE has been the biggest pro wrestling company in the world for a long time now. WWE Superstars mostly stick with wrestling, but there have been a bunch of them who went on to try their hand elsewhere, most notably Hollywood.

Be it Hulk Hogan, The Rock, John Cena, or Roman Reigns, WWE's biggest Superstars have graced movie fans with their presence in big-budget Hollywood flicks. On many occasions, these Superstars are featured in action movies that require them to have fictional fights, almost similar to what they do in the squared circle. There have been instances in movies where WWE Superstar have surprisingly used their finishers during action sequences. Let's take a look at five such Superstars in this list.

#5 John Cena hits an Attitude Adjustment on Fred in Fred: The Movie

Fred: The Movie came out a decade ago, with John Cena playing the role of Fred's dad. Cena is a figment of Fred's imagination and appears on various occasions during the film to extend his support and offer some crucial advice. In what might be the funniest scene in the entire movie, John Cena appears behind Fred when he seeks advice from him, and goes on to deliver an inspirational speech to pump up the kid.

John Cena's AA is one of the most impact moves in WWE history

In another sequence, John Cena casually lifts Fred up over his shoulders and then hits his signature Attitude Adjustment on the kid. Realizing his mistake, Cena quickly apologizes to Fred. Check out the scene at the 1:08 mark in the clip embedded above. The Attitude Adjustment, formerly known as the F-U, has helped John Cena win hundreds of matches, be it on weekly shows such as RAW and SmackDown, or The Grandest Stage Of Them All, WWE WrestleMania.

#4 Charlotte Flair executes a Figure 8 in Psych

Charlotte Flair recently made her return to WWE TV after a hiatus that lasted around six months. She is a 12-time WWE Women's Champion and currently holds the Women's Tag Team gold alongside Asuka on RAW. Flair has popularized the Figure 8 finisher over the past five years during her WWE main roster stint, and it has helped her bag some of the biggest wins of her career.

Charlotte Flair is a 12-time WWE Women's Champion

Charlotte Flair appeared as Heather Rockrear in the 2017 movie named Psych, which was a made-for-TV comedy flick. At one point during the movie, Flair can be seen beating the tar out of two men in a room. She doesn't stop here though, and hits a Disarm-Her on one of the men, as he screams in agony. Fans might remember that this move is Becky Lynch's finisher in WWE. Flair then goes over to the next guy and executes her own finisher, the Figure 8, on him. Check out the clip embedded above to see Charlotte hitting both moves on the men.

#3 Roman Reigns hits a Spear in Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw

Last year, The Rock and Roman Reigns both starred in the Hollywood flick, Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw. The current WWE Universal Champion plays the role of Mateo Hobbs, the brother of Luke Hobbs (played by The Rock). The movie, being a spinoff to Fast and Furious, was bound to be an action-packed affair and consists of several thrilling fight sequences. Although we don't see Roman Reigns during the entire first half of the movie, he delivers big time after he first appears on the screen.

Roman Reigns uses the Spear effectively to put down WWE opponents

The famous Samoan Warriors scene in Hobbs and Shaw features a huge fight pitting The Rock and his associates against a literal army. Roman Reigns and Rock fight alongside each other in the sequence, and the highlight of the fight comes during its closing moments when Reigns hits a devastating Spear on one of the baddies. You can check out the exact moment Roman Reigns delivers the Spear, at the 4:08 mark in the video embedded above.

#2 Goldberg hits a Spear through a glass in Santa's Slay

Santa's Slay is a Christmas slasher comedy flick, that came out in 2005. This was a while after Goldberg had parted ways with WWE after his year-long stint in the company. Goldberg plays the role of Santa Claus in the movie and is featured in various scenes where characters are killed off in the most brutal manner. At one point in the movie, Goldberg can be seen running towards a counter which is made of glass. He runs through the glass counter and hits a Spear on the guy standing behind it.

Goldberg's Spear is one of the most dangerous finishers in WWE history

One look at the sequence is enough to notice that this Spear definitely wasn't one of Goldberg's best. It seemed like Goldberg casually hit the guy with his head and wasn't anywhere close to what Goldberg is capable of doing inside the squared circle. Goldberg has delivered some of the greatest Spears in the history of this business. His Spear on Christian on an episode of WWE RAW, and the one on Nunzio during his Royal Rumble 2004 appearance, are just two among many Spears that he has convincingly connected on his opponents. Take a look at this Spear at the 3:28 mark, and judge for yourself.

#1 The Rock hits a Rock Bottom on Jason Statham in Furious 7

The Rock and Jason Statham are two of the biggest action stars in all of Hollywood. Their work together in the Fast and Furious movie franchise has been praised by fans across the world. The former WWE Champion has been a part of a long string of hard-hitting fights in several movies of the franchise, but his fight against Statham's character in Furious 7 has certainly stood the test of time.

The Rock is one of the biggest Superstars to ever grace a WWE ring

The Rock and Statham engage in a brutal one-on-one outing in this sequence, with both men giving everything they've got to make sure that the other doesn't have enough strength to stand on his feet. At the 2:18 mark in the clip embedded above, WWE fans will notice the move The Rock executes on Statham. Dubbed as The Rock Bottom, the move has aided The Rock in securing tons of victories in his illustrious WWE career. In this case though, Statham lands on the floor after he goes through a glass table in an incredibly shot sequence.
