WWE: 10 Best Submission Finishers Today

By Scott Carlson /

6. Black Widow (AJ Lee)

Until Paige pulled a Houdini earlier this month, no one had escaped the clutches of AJ Lee€™s Black Widow (at least not when the Divas title was on the line). Visually, this is an impressive submission hold, although let€™s face it: Every submission hold looks more visually appealing when applied by a diva.But seriously, AJ has slapped this move on in a variety of ways: from a standing position, from a headscissors and as a counter to several power moves. It€™s unique in a WWE ring and it€™s the kind of submission hold that can wear down any competitor, regardless of size. Those are the criteria for a successful submission finisher. When AJ spins into the Black Widow, fans know the match is almost over. Establishing that as a solid finisher is part of what made Paige€™s win such a big moment.
