- The signature move of Mexican superstar Rey Mysterio is known as the 619. The name refers to the area code of San Diego, California, the home of the entertainer. The move is executed when the opponent is hung over the second rope of the wrestling ring, facing the crowd. Mysterio swings his stiffened body through the ropes, holding to the top and bottom rope with his arms. The opponent is hit in the face and head with Mysterio's body. This signature move is typically followed by a flying body drop off the ropes, resulting in a finishing pin.
- The signature move of WWE superstar John Cena has come to be known as "The Attitude Adjustment". Originally called the "F.U.", the name changed as Cena's character evolved. The move involves Cena placing his opponent face down across his shoulders. He lifts their body above his head and throws them off to the side. This move is typically the final move of the match. For an additional bump, Cena sometimes follows up with an elbow drop prior to pinning the opponent for the three count.
- The signature move of the WWE's character known as The Undertaker is a variation of an older move known as the Piledriver. The Undertaker, who is supposed to be a dead man from Death Valley, California, turns his opponent upside down, holding them by their body. He then drops to his knees, letting his opponents head hit the ring mat. Afterward, he places both hands on their chest to score the pinfall.
- WWE entertainer Hunter Hurst Helmsley, also known as HHH or Triple H, finishes off his opponents with his signature move called The Pedigree. The opponent is bent at the waist with HHH at their head. He places their hands behind their back and drops them face first to the floor. With a quick roll over of the knocked-out opponent, HHH grabs a win.
- While not the first to use it, WWE superstar Edge has made The Spear his signature move. The "Rated R Superstar" intimidates his opponent after they are injured by squatting in the corner of the ring. When the unsuspecting opponent turns to face Edge, he runs at them, leaning his shoulder into their body. This knocks the opponent to the floor and renders them unable to breath or move. Edge quickly covers for the win.
