10 WWE Superstars who debuted with submission wins

#6 Former WWE star Hulk Hogan - Torture Rack

One of the most popular pro-wrestling figures in the 1980s, Hulk Hogan, made his WWE debut on November 17, 1979, against a jobber named Harry Valdez. Hogan won the squash match comfortably by making his opponent submit to the Torture Rack.

The Torture Rack involves the wrestler carrying the opponent face up on the shoulders and hyperextending the back to force a submission. Hogan would drop the move later from his arsenal and use the Atomic Legdrop as his finishing move.

Hogan had six World Heavyweight Championship reigns in WWE and is fondly known for body-slamming Andre the Giant in WrestleMania 3. He also made appearances in WCW, TNA, and IWGP featuring both as a heel and a face.

Hogan's last match in WWE came at Summerslam 2006 in a victory over Randy Orton. He remains one of the few wrestlers in WWE to be inducted into the Hall of Fame twice, individually in 2005 and as part of the New World Order in 2020. Hogan is set to co-host WrestleMania 37 alongside Titus O'Neil.

#5 Current WWE star Natalya - Sharpshooter

After honing her skills in the Hart Family Dungeon, Natalya became the first third-generation female wrestler to debut in WWE in 2008. She allied with Victoria and started a feud with Michelle McCool and Cherry.

On the April 22 episode of SmackDown, Natalya used her uncle Bret Hart's submission move - the Sharpshooter - to submit Cherry and win her debut WWE match. In this submission move, the wrestler squats over the opponent and lifts the torso.

Natalya has been contracted to WWE for over 10 years and recently defeated Shayna Baszler on the April 1 episode of SmackDown.
