5 WWE Superstars who improved after changing their finishing move

#4. Triple H - WWE gave him a different finisher before he changed to the pedigree

The pedigree is one of the most iconic finishers in WWE history.

It's hard to imagine Triple H using any other finishing move in WWE than the pedigree. It's a move that he has used for so long that it has become among the most iconic finishers in WWE history. It helped Triple H become one of the most successful Superstars.

He used the pedigree when he wrestled in WCW, but he was given a different finisher when he moved to WWE in 1995.

Triple H was using a version of the Diamond Cutter, and Diamond Dallas Page revealed that he asked the future World Champion to stop using that move as a favor to him.

Luckily, Triple H wasn't that fond of the finisher WWE gave him, to begin with, and he happily changed it back to the pedigree:

“When I first came to WWE, they actually gave me a slightly dIifferent finisher, a version of the RKO. I wasn’t enamoured with it and I went back to the Pedigree because it was what I had been using prior to that and I really liked it.”

Although it took time for him to reach the next level, reverting to the pedigree was perhaps the first step. The rest, as they say, is history.
