10 Wrestlers Who Desperately Need New Finishers
2. Bayley
Current Finisher: Bayley To Belly, a neat name twist on the common belly-to-belly.
Why It Needs Changed: Whereas Sasha Banks' Backstabber into Bank Statement combo and Charlotte Flair's Figure Eight submission look sweet and are believably painful, Bayley's rudimentary suplex finisher is more akin to a hug than a deadly wrestling move.
Bayley neither has the weight or power to make it looks devastating, and the move was seemingly only chosen so she could tie it in with her name. Bayley To Belly is clever, sure, but it's more vital that the move itself is memorable than its moniker. Right now, that's not the case, so it's time the side-pony-sporting babyface kicked things up a gear.
It's also time Bayley was more adventurous with her move set.
She's stale generally right now, which is another problem. Without a proper heel turn to ignite the spark of change within her, Bayley is left treading water on an increasingly-populated female roster that's leaving her behind. Would a new move sort that? Maybe. It's worth a try.
