#2 South Of Heaven (WWE United States Champion Damian Priest) / Chokeslam (WWE Hall of Famer Kane)

Multiple monstrous WWE superstars have used Chokeslam to perfection. Kane and The Undertaker used the move most prominently, with the former using it as his primarily finishing move.

Other alumni of the company, including The Big Show, The Great Khali, and Braun Strowman, too, used the impactful move on occasion.

However, current WWE United States champion Damian Priest is one of the rare stars to use the move under a different name. He calls it South Of Heaven and uses it as a secondary finisher.


#1 Diamond Cutter (WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page) / RKO (WWE RAW Tag Team Champion Randy Orton)

Diamond Dallas Page used the Diamond Cutter finisher during his WWE run, and despite his mediocre booking, fans invariably cheered the flashy finisher.

The move was innovated by Johnny Ace, who is better known as John Laurinaitis. It was DDP who popularized the move through his meteoric rise in WCW.

Randy Orton has made the move his own, using the surprise aspect of RKO to tremendous effect. He has countered countless moves by RKOs out of nowhere, including an unforgettable counter to Seth Rollins' Curb Stomp.
