You are not quite there, yet!
Is Roman ready to be the top guy?

#4 A submission manoeuvre

Roman must have an ace move up his sleeve.

There is no doubt about the talent of Roman Reigns. Spear, Superman Punch, running apron kick, Samoan drop; the man has got a whole bunch of moves in his arsenal. However, I do believe adding a submission move to his move-set would help him in the long run.

Not only it would bring out a different flavor in his matches, it will also open up a lot of possibilities for his story lines. With his agility and ability to lock his opponent into a submission hold, it will be a breeze of fresh air, helping Reigns sail his ship further.

The STF, Ankle Lock, Hells’ Gate, Sharpshooter, Crippler Cross face, Figure Four leg lock, Anaconda Vise; these are a few of the top submission moves used by top guys of the company in the past. There are historic matches which were decided by these moves.

The beauty is that I didn’t mention the names of the Superstars who used any of them, because I didn’t need to, you already remember them all.
