Top 10 Greatest Finishing Moves in WWE History
When it comes to WWE, few things get the crowd on their feet like a perfectly executed finishing move. It's that final, decisive moment that can flip the momentum of a match, send shockwaves through the arena, and leave fans talking long after the show is over.The greatest finishing moves aren't just about brute force. They're about style, timing, and the ability to make you jump out of your seat no matter how many times you've seen it. Some moves are iconic because of who's delivering them, while others are unforgettable because of how devastating they look.
It's the best move ever performed in WWE, performed by the best wrestler in the world. He never lost a single match at WrestleMania, thanks to the Tombstone and Hell's Gate. He is going to rock in future WrestleManias as well.
So unfortunate he is gone now. The F5 may have ended the streak, but Brock is stronger and maybe faster. Even saying that, The Undertaker is, was, and always will be the best. Plus, Brock can't be relied on because he comes to WWE like one day a year.
Undertaker's finisher is very dangerous. Only a few wrestlers can control themselves after getting a Tombstone Piledriver, and others go to hell. It is the best and most dangerous finisher in WWE and also TNA.
It is quick, can be done on almost anyone, and anywhere. It is lethal because it cuts off the oxygen in a second! It's very similar to the Stunner. I wish I could witness RKO vs. Austin 3:16 - RKO vs. Stunner! The Viper vs. The Rattlesnake!
I think that the Tombstone and Pedigree can't compare to the RKO because the RKO is far quicker. Randy can perform it hundreds of times without getting tired because it doesn't take any power from him. Plus, it's one of the quickest moves in WWE, just like giving a kick to someone!
The Stunner is number 1. Why? It's banned in seven states. Point made! The RKO is number 2. Why? It's as close to a Stunner as you can come! Point made!
Respect-wise, the Tombstone Piledriver is number 3 and only that low because truly it's a piledriver! Yes, it can hurt you, but it's not banned in seven states, so what does that tell you? I have immense respect for the Ric Flair slap and the Iron Claw by the Von Erichs (for the young ones who don't know), but pound for pound, the Stunner is one of very few moves to ever be outlawed! I'm not older than dirt, just old enough to know I can talk and walk my opinion!
I like the FU because John Cena can do it every night. When he FU'ed The Big Show, he was like the greatest in the world. John Cena says that he will never give up until he gets the Championship Belt and keeps that gold belt. We love you, John Cena!
He jumps over the head of the opponent, puts him on his shoulder, and throws him to the ring. He does that so flawlessly, even with many of the heavyweight superstars too. Superb, John. Keep it up!
This move is amazing. Cena does it great, especially when he does it to the likes of Big Show, Mark Henry, and Khali. I've also seen him pick up some of his opponents with one arm. AMAZING!
The F5 can be performed anywhere and can be as dangerous as the performer wants. With this move, Brock really hurt and injured the best in WWE, and without Brock Lesnar, no one can match this move. Because everything he did matched him.
Even more dangerous than a level F5 tornado! Basically, a dangerous fireman's carry facebuster move. It breaks ribs, faces, shoulders, and K.O.s. And it looks very cool.
It is one of the best moves I have ever seen. He carries them, twists them in the air, and the opponent falls on his face!
Simply the best move ever. Nobody could do it and bring such a sense of reality like Shawn Michaels. It really looked like he just turned their faces to frying pans.
The allure, the setup, the selling, even the sound of it rocked. You're still missed, Shawn. You're the best ever.
It had a great name, it could be performed almost anywhere, and it was used by the best wrestler of all time. What more do you want?
There's no question. Sweet Chin Music is without a doubt the best finishing move in the history of WWE.
It is the best finishing maneuver in WWE history. This is a form of side slam, but not just that. Breaking down the opponent's momentum, lifting him, and hitting a Rock Bottom destroys the opponent!
It is the most electrifying move in WWE history. No one can stand up to this move. Through this move, many of the best wrestlers lose, like John Cena, Randy, Big Show, Rey Mysterio, Hulk Hogan, and many others.
It is an awesome move. It's powerful, impactful, dangerous, disastrous, and most importantly, the most electrifying sportsman in sports entertainment performs it - "The ROCK."
Is there anything more impactful or intimidating than the idea of being planted face-first on the mat and having your arms locked too so you can't get out?
Triple H is a great wrestler. His Pedigree is so dangerous. He is number 1, and he is awesome.
The Pedigree is such a good finisher. Pedigree for #1!
The 619 should be number 1 because it's so cool. I'd like to try it on my friend, and I've been a fan of Rey Mysterio since I was 6 years old. I also wish they would bring him back in WWE 2K17. I wish he would make a surprise entrance at the Royal Rumble 2017 at entry number 30.
Just an all-around amazing move from this amazing wrestler. One of the greatest luchador wrestlers of all time.
But this finisher can only be done in the ring. Unlike other finishers, this can only be done anywhere.
The Charismatic Enigma can destroy anyone with the Swanton Bomb. The Creature of the Night can soar through the sky from 20 feet and destroy them, ending the match. EXTREME!
Jeff's Swanton Bomb is like an eagle flying from the sky to the ground to catch his prey.
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Jeff Hardy through that table.
The Newcomers
It's very powerful. It's literally someone jumping from the top rope and punching you mid-air. That should at least be in the top 20. It's much better than The People's Elbow or Sister Abigail.
I love this finisher. The power JBL puts into it, and then you hear the smack.
Then you have Mr. Ass and Rikishi doing flips on top of it. Paul London too, when JBL basically destroyed him.
This move is really good, but you can definitely see it coming.
The Chokeslam is the best! The Big Red Machine rules!
This is a knee to the head after lifting them in the air! John Cena's is just a toss off the shoulders!
It is impossible to kick out after it is done. It could break your bones if done in the wrong place. GREAT MOVE.
It's basically a lift, then the knee once you get slammed. It MUST hurt!
This move is really awesome. Goldberg strikes suddenly, and his force is just unmatchable. Two spears to Brock Lesnar, and he was really in pain. The velocity of Goldberg was just awesome. I wish I could see more spears from Goldberg to today's wrestlers.
My favorite is the beast, Brock Lesnar, but my favorite smack move is Bill Goldberg's Spear. This move is dangerous for WWE superstars. If I give a spear to anyone, I tell them what a spear is. No one can beat me.
His spear is very dangerous and causes serious injury.
The Batista Bomb just drives your back straight into the ground. After being given a Batista Bomb, it will drain every bit of energy in you and stop your momentum. It is just pure strength. The whole move, I think, doesn't use much skill, just strength and momentum.
My favorite spear in the universe. I love Edge and this finisher! I thought he started the spear, but it was Goldberg!
Edge can spear you from everywhere, so his spear is the best. Watch his spear on Jeff Hardy from the ladder at WrestleMania 17. That is the best spear of all time.
Edge's spear is the best spear. He is one of the best superstars in history.
Trouble in Paradise is a great move, and sometimes he does it out of nowhere. He's the best!
The Spear of Roman Reigns is really dangerous for any wrestler. With this spear, Roman Reigns has become Universal, WWE, United States, and Intercontinental champion, and also beat the Phenom, the Deadman "The Undertaker." According to my consideration, the Spear of Roman Reigns is the best move in WWE.
I think Roman's move should be on top because he has beaten The Undertaker, Triple H, John Cena, and almost all legends. It's the reign of the BIG DOG.
The Superman Punch and the Spear of Roman are the best moves in the world. The Phenomenal Forearm is a kid before the Spear.
Lalala, I'm just walking along, admiring the daisies, skipping in the morning breeze. Ooh look, there's good old Mr. Brown. I'm going over there, having a nice chat, then I'm off again on my travels. Keep skipping. I'm skipping. I pass a pond, so I - BROGUE KICK BAM! AARGH!
When he kicks someone, only three numbers are to be heard.
John Cena is my favorite wrestler, and his smack was very good.
How can this move be so low? It is one of the most devastating moves and actually finishes off matches. Remember the 173-0 streak at WCW and WWE. Bill Goldberg's legacy lives on, and the Jackhammer continues to be the best move ever. Let's get it to #1.
Seriously, you guys must be kidding me. This doesn't deserve to be down here. To date, nobody has got up from the jackhammer.
When he hit this on the Giant (or Big Show now), it was unbelievable!
