Several WWE superstars walk in and out of the ring every year but only a few of them manage to be remembered for a long time. A superstar can be a baby face or a heel, but all it mainly requires is a great storyline or gimmick and a hype-worthy signature move.
Signature moves are different from finishing moves. They are seen as an offensive manoeuvre that fans have come to expect from a very certain superstar. They help in getting the audience hyped up at the juncture like Randy Orton being fired up before his DDT from the second rope and Roman Reigns showing his fist before his Superman Punch. So, let’s take a look at the top 7 signature moves in the history of WWE.
7 best signature moves in the history of WWE
7. Triple Suplex
The Beast Incarnate has sent every single of his opponent to the Suplex City. Brock Lesnar’s strong build and explosive power are a boon to him. He slams his opponent with three German suplexes and then ends the chapter with F5. Before him, the move was used by high-flying star Rob Van Dam.
6. Old School – The Undertaker
Whenever we think of the Undertaker, we think of Tombstone Piledriver but when he gets on the top rope getting ready for Old School, the match comes close to the end. Undertaker’s Old School doesn’t seem to be super effective, but its hype says it all.
5. Superman Punch – Roman Reigns
The current WWE Undisputed Universal Champion, Roman Reigns’ Superman Punch requires no introduction. His infamous scream with a Samoan vibe marks the coming of the Superman Punch. Following his signature move, Reigns perform Spear. Reigns have successfully managed to break several records in his title reign and it seems like he’ll break many more.
4. Draping DDT – Randy Orton
Hands down, Randy Orton is one of the most agile superstars we have ever seen in WWE. His athleticism and presence of mind in the ring are simply unmatchable for several superstars. When Randy Orton is out of action, we’re seeing his bro, Matt Riddle performing the DDT and RKO. We hope to see the Viper back in action soon.
3. The 5 Knuckle Shuffle – John Cena
We haven’t seen a better pair than John Cena and his 5 Knuckle Shuffle in WWE. The whole concept of “You can’t see me!” has given a rocking result every single time. John Cena is the type of star that we see in decades and The 5 Knuckle Shuffle made him more unforgettable. Most probably, we’ll witness Cena’s return in 2023.
2. 619 – Rey Mysterio
The Shortest Big Man in WWE, Rey Mysterio’s 619 has a different Fanbase. Rey has been a top-notch entertainer in the history of WWE with his athleticism and high-flying action. It’s fair to say that Rey Mysterio has given everything to WWE. The company brought his family into the business, he even had to remove his mask unwillingly, but the Lucha Master never said no.
1. People’s Elbow – The Rock
The most electrifying superstar in the history of WWE, the Rock is known as the People’s champion for a reason. His People’s elbow is highly adored by the WWE universe. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has a different type of in-ring charisma. Talking about his WWE career, it’s highly possible that we can see the Rock back in the business next year.
