10 WWE Finishers That Don't Make Sense

10. Lumbar Check

Make no bones about it, Cedric Alexander is an incredibly gifted performer and it is only a matter of time before he gets fully over as the super-athletic babyface he deserves to be.

Having been a member of Monday Night Raw since April 2019, you would have hoped that his acrobatic move-set and instant likeability would have catapulted him into a decent spot on the card upon entry.

Yet, here we are in October of the same year and - after losing a U.S. Title feud with AJ Styles - Alexander is nowhere to be seen.

It could be easy to point to the fact that 'creative doesn't have anything for him right now', but perhaps an introspective look at his current finisher could be the answer.

The Lumbar Check - which involves Alexander throwing his opponent into the air before drawing his knees up for them to land on - is a visually impressive manoeuvre, but requires the recipient to possess equal athletic ability to pull off convincingly. This then leaves the audience disbelieving the significance of the move, as the victim looks as though they are in on the act.

Could you imagine Big Show or even Braun Strowman trying to take this, too?

Bye, bye, Cedric.

Adopting a move with more of a striking/ground-based origin (whilst equally leaning into his undoubted athletic prowess) would prove beneficial for this future star getting the kind of response he deserves.
