10 Wrestlers Who Desperately Need New Finishers

1. Seth Rollins

For a long time, Seth Rollins was Triple H's protege. Then, nearly five months ago, HHH turned on Rollins. Since then, "The Architect" has been trying to get his hands on "The Game," but to no avail. Still, none of that has stopped him from continuing to use the Pedigree as his finishing move.

From a kayfabe perspective, yes, there was and is a reason for him to use it, but let's face it - Rollins (one of the top young stars in WWE) using the Pedigree does nothing but remind fans that HHH and his moves are the best. I'm sure "The Game" is happy about that, but it's not doing anyone else any favors.

The idea that Rollins needs a new finisher has already been broached, with rumors that he'll get one after the HHH program is over. What will it be, though? Rollins stopped using the Curb Stomp in the first place because it was deemed too dangerous looking, while he's said he has no interest in using the Phoenix Splash full time, as it would cause long-term injury.

Perhaps Rollins can go back to using God's Last Gift, a unique small-package driver that he used on the independent scene (and busted out against Finn Balor at SummerSlam). It's an interesting, original move that makes for a believable finish, which is more than you can say for the Pedigree.
