5 WWE Superstars with Submission Finishers You Didn’t Know About

#2 Kevin Owens’ Sharpshooter

Like a true Canadian Superstar, Kevin Owens has used the Sharpshooter.

Before Kevin Owens was known by that name, he made quite a career for himself working for smaller promotions—most notably Ring of Honor—under the name Kevin Steen.

Steen’s offense had a bit more violent edge than what he has used in WWE, including a package piledriver that he most often used to achieve pin fall victories.

Owens also made use of a Sharpshooter submission hold. The move is largely synonymous with fellow Canadian countryman Bret Hart, and particularly given that Owens is from Montreal—the site of the infamous Montreal Screwjob that the Sharpshooter was so important to, when Shawn Michaels applied it to Hart, it makes sense that Owens would look to absorb the hold into his own repertoire.

Owens isn’t a part of the Hart clan, of course, and Natalya still uses the Sharpshooter as her own finisher, all of which probably contribute to him not using the hold in WWE. Nonetheless, it is a finisher that he used to good effect earlier on in his career.
