I know that this is related to a passing of the torch, but I think this is significant enough to warrant a point of its own, as such. Mick Foley was best known for 'Mr. Socko' or the mandible claw, using the move as his finisher.

We know that Su Yung does the move in Impact Wrestling and a whole host of performers have used it over the years, but nobody in WWE does it right now. Also, it fits in right with Bray Wyatt's character and makes all the sense in the world to use it.

So today, with more eyeballs on the product than usual, Bray Wyatt unleashed a brand new move at WWE RAW Reunion. This is a very significant development and I wonder if Sister Abigail will be phased out.

Maybe he'll use multiple finishers like AJ Styles does.
