10 WWE Champions With The Worst Finishing Moves

5. Braun Strowman - Running Powerslam

Seeing the 'Monster Among Men' burst back onto Monday Night Raw and SmackDown over the past few weeks has been quite enjoyable, and the man is clearly in the greatest shape of his life.

There is no denying that Braun has an incredible power game, and is quick enough and explosive enough to look like an unstoppable force either in, or around the ring (when he doesn't fall over, that is). Coupled with that, WWE have helped build his aura with some insane stunts during his initial rise to prominence in 2017, with his tipping of ambulances and destruction of stages getting him over big with the crowd.

After debuting with an awful reverse chokeslam, Strowman settled upon a running powerslam as his finisher. It can look impressive, especially when he does it to a big dude, but as a finisher it just feels a little meh. The ease with which Strowman hoists someone up is cool and it certainly shakes the ring upon impact, but it doesn't feel remotely special nor play to his considerable strengths.

A man of Braun's size should have a murderous finisher, one with an actual name as well. Since his return, he has been nailing a pretty thunderous powerbomb, which has been brought back to prominence by the likes of Gunther and AEW's Wardlow.

Thinking of which... wouldn't that be a tasty triple threat match?
