WWE superstars have their say on the greatest finisher of all time

Ahead of WrestleMania 39 at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California, SPORTbible asked the roster what the greatest finisher is.

According to the professional wrestling glossary, a finisher is “a wrestler's signature move that usually leads to the pinfall or submission”.

From Stone Cold Steve Austin’s ‘Stunner’ to the Tombstone Piledriver deployed by the Undertaker, when the best finishers are hit, you know that the lights are out and it’s about to be game over.

There are plenty of opinions from fans as to what is the greatest devastating maneuver in WWE history but what do the current superstars think is the best in the business?

Ahead of the jam-packed two night WrestleMania 39 at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California, SPORTbible asked the roster the burning question and here’s how they responded.

Dakota Kai: Oh my gosh! Rock Bottom. The Rock was someone I loved watching because he was so charismatic. I think it’s everything that builds up to that. He’s cool!

MVP: Randy Orton, RKO. Out of nowhere, any time, any place.

WWE Raw women’s champion Bianca Belair: I would say the Pedigree or the F5. I’m trying to not be egotistical but of course I would say the KOD!

Rhea Ripley: I’m going to say Bianca Belair with the KOD.

Grayson Waller: I think it’s got to be a tombstone [piledriver] man. You’re getting dropped on your head, that seems dangerous. Luckily I've never had to take one and I don’t plan on taking one anytime.

Carmelo Hayes: I mean the F5 is a pretty good finisher, man. The Pedigree from Triple H, the Stunner – look at all the iconic finisher everybody knows, it’s probably going to be one of them.

Chad Gable: Scorpion Deathlock. I’m going back to my seventh grade days again. Love it man.

Otis: Stone Cold Stunner. Oh yeah. What gets more reaction?

So two mentions of the F5 and two mentions of the Stunner makes it an overall tie but what do you think he is the greatest finisher of all time?

Let us know in the comments.
