10 Most Boring Finishers In WWE Today

People don’t get as excited for moves like this as they used to...

#7 Nia Jax - Every Finisher She Has Used

A Leg Drop of Doom in 2016...time travel does in fact exist...

It is rare for WWE to have someone on its roster that can fill the role Nia Jax has. They have a ‘monster’ woman, which they don’t come across very often. Because of her size, they have the potential to create some interesting storylines of her being a major threat to everyone around her.

They could’ve made her the female Braun Strowman. Instead, she has been somewhat left behind by the creative department.

A big reason for that is Jax doesn’t have much of a decisive finisher in her arsenal. Instead of doing something impressive and power-oriented, as one would expect of a power wrestler like Jax, Nia has switched finishers several times in the past few months.

She has switched from a big Leg Drop à la Hulk Hogan, to a modified fireman’s carry Powerslam, to some kind of Samoan Drop, because every Samoan has to use that move, it’s just a requirement, for some reason.

Had Jax been given a single, straightforward finisher that looked much more devastating and was booked as a true finisher, she’d be in a different place right now. When a wrestler keeps changing their finisher in such a short period, it suggests that either those moves are too dangerous for that wrestler to be using, or they’re too weak-looking to get over with the audience.

In either case, it hurts the wrestler, which is what has happened to Nia Jax.
