Wrestling is a sport which requires a lot of technique, skill and grit. oITrequires many moves, sequences and techniques to win a match. There is a plethora of finishing moves in wrestling.

Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.

Generally, a performer chooses his/her moves according to their gimmick. At times, they also choose moves according to their capability. Some moves are so widespread and iconic that other wrestlers refrain from picking up the moves while they tend to borrow certain moves in other cases.

Many wrestlers can use the same move to end a match, but very few of them make them their signature move. The finishers are the ones that create the most impact and help the wrestlers win the match. Here is a list of moves which have been used as a finisher by two or more wrestlers.


#1 Diamond Dallas Page and Randy Orton - Diamond Cutter/RKO

Randy Orton has thrown much light on his career by being the youngest wrestler to win the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. This third generation wrestler may not be the face that ran the place, but since his debut, he has made an impact on the wrestling scene.

RKO, The Viper's finishing move fits him perfectly. It is shrewd, cruel and quick. However, Orton didn't invent the move.

Orton picked this move from the arsenal of the famous Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page. DDP named it the Diamond Cutter, it pleased Page a lot when Orton used it as his finisher. Also, the star heel has made it his signature move, and I don't think many people remember it as DDP's move.

#2 Michelle McCool and AJ Styles- Faithbreaker/Styles Clash

Michelle McCool debuted in Smackdown Live in 2009 with this famous finisher which she had picked from AJ Styles, who was already an established star in TNA.

Styles has stated before that he doesn't have an issue with McCool using the move as she had continued using it till her retirement. After The Phenomenal One debuted on SD Live in 2016, he has used this move regularly.

Many WWE fans think that he picked it from McCool, but the truth is that it is the other way around. Both of them perform it well, but as Styles is the inventor of the move, he will always have the upper hand.

#3 Drew McIntyre and Dean Ambrose – Future Shock/Dirty Deeds

Drew Galloway famously known as Drew McIntyre in WWE has made a big name for himself. Future Shock was Galloway's creation but, McIntyre doesn't use this move anymore.

When WWE released him in 2014, McIntyre went on to become the TNA Champion, and this move starred in his arsenal. However, when he made his return to WWE, he gave this move some rest.

The only difference between McIntyre and Ambrose's finisher is that McIntyre has more muscle and strength in his finisher, while Ambrose's Dirty Deeds is sudden and quick. But, both of them harm the receiver equally.

McIntyre uses the Claymore Kick now, and Ambrose is the only one to use this improvised DDT as his finisher. Comparatively, McIntyre's build is more bulky and strong, so the move creates a larger impact when performed by him.

#4 The Rock and Booker T- Rock Bottom/ Book End

The Rock is one of the most prominent stars of WWE. He created a lot of impact during the Attitude and PG era. Considered as one of the best wrestlers both on the mic and in the ring, The Rock is now a semi-retired wrestler who spends most of his time working in movies. But, he keeps returning at least once in a year to deliver some promos or to promote his movie.

Booker T is a veteran. He is a famous commentator and an in-ring performer who has won many accolades in the past. The Rock and Booker T have the same finisher, but with a different name. Both of them executed it amazingly, and it has been famous in their own right.

#5 Roman Reigns/Edge/Goldberg- Spear

Two things which are common amongst all three of them is that all of them are very prominent wrestlers in WWE, and they have the same finishing move. The Rated-R star has been extremely famous, but he had an untimely retirement owing to a spinal cord injury.

Goldberg is a Hall of Famer now, but there are speculations that he might return for his last match against some big superstar. Roman Reigns has used this finisher since The Shield days, and it has proved to be very impactful as it fits his 'Big Dog' gimmick perfectly.

All three of them have the same finisher, and all of them have performed it extremely well. Amongst the three, Edge is the smallest when it comes to build, and the impact of his spear pushes the opponent to the mat while the other two tear into their opponent. All of them used this as their finisher, and they have won many matches due to this fantastic and overpowering move.

#6 Rusev, Iron Sheikh and Jinder Mahal- Accolade/ Camel Clutch

Rusev, Iron Sheikh and Jinder Mahal have the same submission finisher which literally breaks their opponents back. Rusev has won several matches with the help of this submission maneuver. It helped him reach the pinnacle of his career during his debut.

Originally, this move was performed by Iron Sheikh who had his shares of success during the peak of his career. Jinder Mahal uses this submission move which remains to be very merciless and torturing.

Iron Sheikh told WWE,

“If I was a young Iron Sheik, I can suplex him … humble him first and then I show him my Camel Clutch, but I never got to that point,” Sheik told WWE.com, the old fire tangible even over the phone. “Now he using me, he use my greatest hold, the Camel Clutch, I don’t know. Sometimes I can be happy that the Indian come use my hold, sometimes I can be unhappy because why you have to use my hold?”

#7 Hideo Itami and CM Punk- GTS

CM Punk's famous Go to Sleep finisher wasn't his original move. He picked this move from Hideo Itami who was known as Kenta when he used to work in Japan.

When Itami came to NXT, he couldn't perform this move as this would bring back CM Punk chants which are despised by Vince McMahon.

Both Punk and Itami don't have a heavy built, so it doesn't make a huge impact on their opponents. Itami invented the move, but Punk made it famous in the US. It is a shame that both of them are not using the move anymore.
