These moves are the bread and butter of what were talking about. The following maneuvers have never been featured in a WWE game before, but for one reason or another, deserve to be included. Some of these moves have only recently come into the fold via various superstars, while others a variation on a classic maneuver. Regardless, these new moves will be missed if they are not in WWE 2K15.
13. Diving European Uppercut
The European uppercut is an often-used strong strike. The top rope variation adds just that extra bit of velocity to the force of the blow.
12. Rolling Single Leg Crab
This move has been known by both its Boston and Canadian monikers. A variation on the single leg crab, this version sees the wrestler slide between the opponents legs and execute a takedown before rolling backward into the submission.
11. Handspring Back Elbow
Frequently used by Sin Cara, this move sees the wrestler whipped into the ropes only to do a handspring and rebound back at the opponent who is met with an elbow to the face. Its a move thats been used by numerous wrestlers over the years and would be a nice addition to use for created competitors.
10. Ringpost Stretch
With the addition of Bret Harts figure four leglock around the ringpost last year, its a wonder we havent been given any similar maneuvers. This basic move which sees the competitor use the post as fulcrum to stretch their opponent would be a great addition to the game.
9. Jawbreaker Lariat
Popularized by Nigel McGuinness and recently used by Dean Ambrose, this clothesline variant can be devastating. The wrestler is nearly pushed through the ropes, but rebounds back to deliver a hard-hitting lariat.
8. Top Rope Facebuster
Dolph Ziggler has busted this move out during many past matches. This top rope version of X-Pacs X-Factor finishing maneuver could easily lead to a victory.
7. Rope-hung Neckbreaker
Another Ziggler move, this is essentially a neckbreaker variation of Randy Ortons rope-hung DDT. Dolph drapes his opponent on the middle rope before executing a picture perfect neckbreaker.
6. Deadlift Powerbomb
This powerbomb alternative would add to the much needed non-submission ground moves. The competitor simply picks his opponent up from the mat and powerbombs him back down.
5. Triple Backbreaker
While there is a multiple powerbomb maneuver in previous iterations of the game, both Brock Lesnar and Big E have been without their signature repeating backbreaker. Brock used the move early in his WWE career, while it has now become a signature of Big Es arsenal.
4. Diving Knee Strike Off Apron
This move has traditionally been used by Daniel Bryan and was a bit of a precursor to his current running knee finisher. Any and all additions to moves on the outside would be appreciated, as there is a current lack of specific maneuvers for outside the ring.
3. Turnbuckle Exploder Suplex
Essentially a run-of-the-mill exploder suplex with one slight variation. This time the move is executed in the corner, throwing the opponent into the turnbuckles.
2. Deadlift Superplex
One of Cesaros signature moves, this superplex variant requires incredible strength. The opponent begins on the apron rather than the top rope and is then suplexed back into the ring.
1. Canadian Destroyer
Rarely -- if ever -- used in WWE, the Canadian Destroyer is a flipping piledriver. This acrobatic and innovative move would be appropriate for peoples created wrestlers and custom movesets.
