10 WWE Superstars In Dire Need Of New Finishers
5. Bayley
Current Finisher: Bayley-to-Belly Suplex
Bayley is an awesome wrestler. Although she started off as an overly childish gimmick, she became a genuine underdog and deserving champion after her classic match with Sasha Banks. Despite her skills, her current finisher is nothing more than a standard Belly-to-Belly Suplex; you know, the same move that big guys like Big E use on a regular basis, without any additional emphasis given to the maneuver.
When Bayley debuts on the main roster, she’s going to be compared to the other Four Horsewomen almost instantly. There will be extremely high expectations for her, especially in terms of the variety of moves that she can pull off.
But most importantly, given the ‘submission’ theme that has defined these women for quite some time now, Bayley should follow suit and adopt a submission hold of her own.
Suggested New Finisher: Anaconda Cross
Bayley should adopt arguably the most realistic and dangerous submission hold out of the ones that are seen in WWE today: The Anaconda Cross, a combination of the Anaconda Vice and the straight jacket choke.
This brutal maneuver not only looks legitimate, but it’s also unique vis-à-vis application. With CM Punk gone from WWE, there isn’t a full-time wrestler in WWE using a move that looks as realistic and MMA-oriented as this one.
If Bayley were to use this move, she'd be presented as more than just a goofy character. She’d be seen as someone that’s just as skilled as her fellow Horsewomen, which would only make their eventual main roster confrontations that much more interesting.
