Here is a simple question. While people kick out of everything these days, having a strong finisher is always great for a wrestler. But is there one wrestler in WWE, AEW, ROH, etc, you think could have a new finisher?

In WWE, I'd personally replace the "Manhandle Slam" that Becky did and seemingly hasn't done much since. It's a very poor Uranage and I don't mind her having a secondary non-submission finisher, but that doesn't fly with me. Maybe some kick would work for her?

As well, I'll say it, the Judas effect for Jericho isn't doing it for me so far. I like the idea of a sudden back elbow strike that can knock an opponent out, but how he does it looks like he just runs into you backwards. If he had a better follow-through, maybe slapping the leg for a nice "snap," it'd be better, but stick with the Codebreaker.

That 'Manhandle Slam' must be new cause I've never heard of it or seen it before.. Always thought she just did the modified armbar.

I would pick Jon Moxley's Dirty Deeds, it reminds me too much of his Ambrose character.

I'll change Bea's finisher to a High-Angle German Suplex.
