10 WWE Superstars In Dire Need Of New Finishers
10. Becky Lynch
Current Finisher: Dis-Arm-Er
Despite being much more experienced than the other Horsewomen, she’s arguably the least ‘flashy’ in terms of appearance and move-set. This holds especially true for her finishing move, the Dis-Arm-Er, which is nothing more than a Fujiwara armbar, the kind of ‘rest-hold’ used by many other WWE Superstars.
Not only does the move look uninspiring when compared to the submission holds of her fellow NXT alumni, but even by most WWE standards it doesn’t look impressive, either. If Becky’s to be taken seriously, she needs a maneuver that actually looks like it really hurts.
Suggested New Finisher: Rings of Saturn
Now we’re talking.
Perry Saturn’s scissored armbar is the perfect finisher for Becky Lynch not just because it’s unique and continues her theme of targeting her opponents' arms, but also because it’s actually more dangerous than any other submission hold seen on WWE programming.
This is because, a) it targets the shoulders, which are vital for pro wrestlers to land safely and for executing many maneuvers; and b) having both shoulders pressed against another person’s body while being forced onto one’s side can cause problems breathing.
In other words, it can cause real pain and anguish, which would make it a perfect tool for Becky to elevate herself even further while on the main roster. This is especially important, as she now has to deal with greater competition from more women for screen time, and her finisher would be a great tool to help her distinguish herself.
