6 Awesome signature moves WWE Superstars don't use anymore

The move-set of wrestlers evolve throughout different stages of their careers. Some moves a Superstars pulls off earlier in their career may not be feasible later on, forcing them to adapt their move-set with that stage of their career.

From Brock Lesnar to AJ Styles, these WWE Superstars have a history of awesome signature moves in their arsenal, some of them which they haven't used for years. Today we take a look at some signature moves that Superstars don't use anymore but are nevertheless impressive. Could we see any of these come back in the future? It's unlikely but never say never.

#6 Braun Strowman - Reverse chokeslam

We start off our list with WWE Universal Champion Braun Strowman. Strowman beat Goldberg at WrestleMania 36 to lift his world championship, hitting Goldberg multiple times with the Running Powerslam.

When Strowman was first called up to main as part of the Wyatt Family, he still hadn't started using the Running Powerslam as a finisher. Instead, he was using a reverse chokeslam where he was literally planting his opponents face-first into the mat. Although some fans were not big fans of the move, I thought Strowman made it look pretty devastating and I definitely hope he adds it to his arsenal again.

#5 Brock Lesnar - Brock Lock

The Brock Lock was an awe-inspiring move and easily one of my favorite submission maneuvers of all time. Brock Lesnar used this move with a devastating effect during his first run in the WWE.

However, after he made his return to the company for his second run in 2012, his go-to submission was the Kimura Lock. The Kimura Lock is definitely an awesome move in its own right but there's nothing like watching a grown man being hung upside down by the leg.

#4 Roman Reigns - Checkmate

Roman Reigns is one of the biggest stars from the current era of WWE and the Big Dog has always been a dominant force inside the ring. He’s a multiple-time world champion already as well as a Royal Rumble winner and he uses the Spear to devastating effect.

When Reigns started out in FCW and NXT, he used a different finisher called The Checkmate. For fans who have complained about Reigns’ needing a better finisher than the Spear, they really need to take a look at this. The Checkmate was not impressive at all and the Spear suits the Big Dog a whole lot better.

#3 AJ Styles - Hollow Point

AJ Styles faced The Undertaker at WrestleMania 36

We move on to the ‘Phenomenal One’ AJ Styles. After spending large chunks of his career in TNA Wrestling and then New Japan Pro Wrestling, Styles finally arrived in WWE during the 2016 Royal Rumble. In the four years since, Styles has risen to become one of the top stars in the company, winning the WWE Championship twice as well as having the honor of facing The Undertaker at WrestleMania 36.

However, one thing that has affected Styles a little bit since his move to WWE is his move-set. There are some moves that Styles used before that he no longer does in WWE and one of these is the Hollow Point. The move is basically a modified Piledriver and it looks devastating. Although there is little chance he will ever use it in WWE, it would be amazing if he could pull it out just once for a big match. You can check out the Hollow Point HERE.

#2 Goldberg - Gorilla Press

Goldberg is one of the most physically intimidating wrestlers of all time. The man used to be absolutely jacked in his prime and his impressive set of power moves helped show this off. One of these moves was his incredible Gorilla Press Spinebuster, a move Goldberg, unfortunately, isn’t capable of using at this stage of his career due to physical limitations.

Goldberg used this move with destructive effect during his run in WCW and during his first run in WWE. Goldberg even managed to hit Brock Lesnar with the Gorilla Press at WrestleMania 20.

#1 The Undertaker - Taking Care of Business

With the return of Biker Taker at WrestleMania 36, it’s the perfect time to look back at his Taking Care of Business submission. The Undertaker used this move during his Big Evil phase and I hope he brings it back for this run if he continues with the Biker Gimmick.

The move is basically a reverse Dragon Sleeper but unlike usual Dragon Sleepers are executed while sitting, Taker used his from a standing position.
