8 WWE Superstars who need a new finisher

#8 Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns' spear isn't too shabby, but not the best either

Roman Reigns is WWE’s most enigmatic personality of the hour. You can book him like an underdog, the Big Dog, a good guy, a bad guy or even the guy…but nothing seems to help subdue the boos & turn them into cheers. He is probably hated even more now for the fact that he ‘retired’ The Undertaker! (Though, did he?)

Physically, Roman Reigns seems tailor-made to be WWE’s next dominant force. But his moveset? Not really. The WWE Universe is tired of seeing the man pull out the same 2-3 combinations & often under-sell the opponents moves (cue: Seth Rollins’ Buckle Bomb ending up in a Superman punch). Add to that the fact that his Spears are probably not in the same league as how some older WWE Superstars used to pull it off.

Is there a way around? We think so.

New Finisher(s): Powerbomb – all variants

Now, Roman Reigns is a strong wrestler. He can dead-lift almost 80% of the current roster of the mat (something we have been shown over & over again). So, why not apply a formula that’s already worked for WWE in the recent past. Yes, we are looking at Suplex City.

Brock Lesnar earned a lot of plaudits pulling out all kinds (okay, not all. Maybe 3-4) of Suplexes. Reign can probably have a similar feat, but this time with Powerbombs. He already pulls off a few impressive powerbombs now & then.

The Triple Powerbomb, Crucifix Sitout Powerbomb, Conventional Sitout Powerbomb, Deadlift Single-Arm Powerbomb & so on. Bank on it maybe? Finishing matches with different variants of Powerbombs will be something fresh to see for the WWE Universe

Adding ‘The Last Ride’ to the list would be just a bonus. After all, he did retire The Undertaker! (Again, did he really?)
