5 moves that make John Cena tick

#3 STF

Next up is Cena’s primary finishing submission move, the STF (formally known as the STFU).

Cena began using the STF in 2005 and since then he has won numerous bouts with this submission including some high profile WrestleMania championship matches against the likes of Shawn Michaels, Batista and Triple H.

The STF involves locking an opponent’s leg back while reaching over and pulling on their neck/face. The submission is designed to target the foes Shoulders/Neck and in which case is very similar to a standard crossface.

Cena has adopted the STF and made it an important part of who he is today.
