In WWE, every wrestler has a unique set of moves, commonly called a moveset. These moves help define their in-ring style and can include regular strikes, special holds, and signature finishing moves. Over the years, some exciting and powerful moves have disappeared from
WWE matches, either due to rule changes, wrestler injuries, or shifts in storytelling.
With Randy Orton recently bringing back his brutal Punt Kick, it raises the question what other classic moves should return to WWE? Here are five moves that fans would love to see again inside the squared circle.
1. Solo Sikoa’s Spinning Wheel Kick

Solo Sikoa has made a name for himself on WWE SmackDown, leading his own version of The Bloodline. However, some fans believe his moveset could use more variety. Back in NXT, Solo used a devastating Spinning Wheel Kick, a move his uncle Umaga also made famous.
This spinning heel kick was a perfect mix of speed and power, making it an exciting move to watch. If Solo brings it back, it could add more excitement to his matches and give him a powerful strike option to catch opponents off guard.
2. Jacob Fatu’s Flipping Spear
Jacob Fatu has quickly become a dominant force in WWE since joining SmackDown. His high-energy style and explosive power make him one of the most thrilling wrestlers to watch. However, one move he hasn’t used much in WWE yet is his flipping Spear.
This variation of the Spear, seen in other promotions, is similar to what Bobby Lashley and Moose have used in the past. Jacob’s version is even more intense, with his ability to flip in mid-air before driving his opponent to the mat. If he brings it back, it could become one of the most talked-about finishers in WWE.
3. AJ Styles’ Springboard Shooting Star Press

AJ styles is understood for his splendid aerial capabilities, but one pass that has been lacking from his arsenal in current years is the Springboard shooting megastar press. inside the beyond, patterns could launch himself off the ropes and perform an excellent backflip before touchdown on his opponent.
This pass would be an ideal manner for styles to wound opponents and create highlight-reel moments. With big suits on the horizon, he may want to pull it out once more possibly even at WrestleMania to thieve the show.
4. John Cena’s Springboard Stunner

John Cena has never been known for a deep moveset, but during the later years of his career, he experimented with new techniques. One of the most surprising was the Springboard Stunner.
Inspired by the classic Stone Cold Stunner, Cena’s version saw him bounce off the ropes before hitting the move. While the execution wasn’t always perfect, it was still an exciting addition to his matches. With Cena nearing retirement, bringing back this move for a few more high-profile moments could be a fun way to close out his legendary career.
5. Finn Balor’s Bloody Sunday

Finn Balor has been a key part of WWE for years, but fans rarely see him use one of his most devastating moves the Bloody Sunday. This move, a DDT variation similar to Gangrel’s Impaler DDT, was a favorite among fans during his time in NXT and other promotions.
While Balor now primarily uses the Coup de Grâce double stomp as his finisher, bringing back Bloody Sunday could add another layer to his offense. It would give him a powerful, match-ending move that could help him secure even bigger victories in WWE.
