#3 Drew McIntyre
Along with Randy Orton’s RKO, Drew McIntyre’s Claymore is among the most impressive finishers in WWE right now.
During his 3MB days, the Scot used a different move to defeat opponents – the Future Shock DDT – until one day he slipped whilst delivering a big boot to Ryback on Raw and the botch looked so impressive that he decided to keep doing the move in future matches.
He explained during an episode of WWE Network show ‘Table For 3’:
“I discovered my finish, the Claymore Kick, when I was wearing the [3MB] leather pants, because they’re so tight. We were having a match on Raw one time, I ran to big boot Ryback, and I lifted my leg and, because the pants were so tight, I kicked him with my other foot, so I gave him the Claymore. It was supposed to be a big boot.”
Several years later, the lethal Claymore has been used by McIntyre to take out major Superstars including Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Braun Strowman and Finn Balor.
