10 Most Believable WWE Finishers Right Now

10. Coup de Grâce (Finn Bálor)

Finn Balor Brock Lesnar Royal Rumble 2019

It really doesn't matter that Finn Bálor is lighter on his feet than the average kitten. When he leaps off the top rope and thumps both feet down into the midsection of his victims, yours truly winces every single time; this is true even when the "victim" in question is terrifying man mountain Brock Lesnar.

There's no way that finish doesn't hurt.

Finn deserves a hug post-match from his peers for somehow managing to pull his weight upwards at precisely the right moment though. Watch him perform the Coup de Grâce enough times and it's clear to see that he's a considerate sort, and not the kind who'll bludgeon peers with the soles of his feet just to be a cheeky little bastard.

Only someone with Bálor's athleticism could pull this one off without shattering ribs and sending endless streams of wrestlers off to hospital.
