10 Wrestlers Who Slapped The Leg (And You Never Noticed)

2. Roman Reigns

Though the majority of his heavy artillery merely requires a body in front of him to bulldoze for the most part, you'll probably be surprised to hear that Roman Reigns does still find himself falling back on the tried and tested body slap to really sell a number of his trademark actions on occasion.

First up, taking the ball that Bobby Eaton and Kane had brilliantly ran with for so long, Reigns frequently executes one of the fiercest uppercuts any wrestler has ever brought to the table, skilfully smacking his heavily tattoed shoulder just as his opponent's head snaps back into next week.

On top of this, one of 'The Tribal Chief's trademark crowd-poppers also involves one of the finest secret leg slaps in the game. Upon leaving his opponent in a prone state, dangling through the ropes with their head hanging on the outside of the ring, Reigns throws his body feet-first at their temple. This Drive-By is made that little bit more jaw-dropping each and every time it's carried out thanks to his decision to perform a double (!) slap on his quads as he throws himself into the manoeuvre.

A master of leg slapping, too? Is there anything the acknowledged one cannot do?
