It's never a good sign when you have to google a wrestler's finisher because you can't remember the last time you saw them use it. Unfortunately for Dana Brooke, that was the exact situation we found ourselves in when debating her inclusion on the list.

An unfortunate situation, but one which sums up Dana's current status on WWE programming. Dana has been depicted as a loser for years now - even her victories in the run-up to Money in the Bank were the result of surprise pins, WWE shorthand for "Don't expect this push to last". Sure enough, her role at the PPV was to look like a chump, as she mistook a model of the briefcase for the real thing and ended up being knocked out of the action by slipping on a freshly mopped floor.

There's a decent story waiting to be told in NXT - that of the bitter, disillusioned main roster loser who takes out their frustrations by trying to beat the hope out of younger talent - and Dana Brooke would make a very believable villain in that regard.

(Oh, and for those wondering: Her finisher turned out to be the Samoan Driver).
