Every Spear Currently In AEW & WWE, Ranked Worst To Best

The Spear is a relatively easy move to execute, but at the same time, it is a powerful and lethal move, which looks great when executed perfectly and is a credible finisher. With that said, it is no wonder that many wrestlers around the world use the Spear.

Currently, in AEW and WWE, there are 10 wrestlers who use the Spear on a regular basis. Some are more powerful than others, and a couple of them perform the Spear through the ropes, which is original. So, without further ado, let's take a look at every Spear currently in AEW and WWE, ranked worst to best.

10 Christian

Christian's Spear used to be good when he was in WWE, but time does not pass in vain and now his Spear looks weak, probably the weakest Spear today.

Christian was never a wrestler with outstanding power, let alone now that he is 49 years old, and the Spear is a move that relies precisely on power. So, Christian's Spear is arguably the worst currently in AEW and WWE.

9 Goldberg

Goldberg is still a WWE wrestler until he announces his retirement, or until he announces he is a free agent. So even though he hasn't wrestled in a while, he still needs to be mentioned on this list.

Goldberg had at one point in his career probably the best Spear in wrestling history, a shocking move that fans enjoyed watching. However, his current Spear is nowhere near his old Spear, as over the years he lost his explosiveness and intensity, which is inevitable.

8 Johnny Gargano

Johnny Gargano has never been a powerful wrestler, as he is small, and his game is based on technique, so his Spear is not as lethal as others.

However, you have to admit that Gargano has an original Spear, as he executes it through the ropes, and it's always great when a wrestler steps forward to do a move his way. Also, Gargano's technique is impeccable, so his Slingshot Spear is practically perfect.

7 Edge

Certainly, Edge's wrestling skills have deteriorated slightly, as has his Spear, which is normal considering he is already 49 years old. But still, Edge is capable of delivering amazing matches and his Spear is still a good finisher.

It's simply admirable how well Edge is wrestling at his age and after so many injuries. The Rated R Superstar is not afraid to put his body on the line to entertain the fans, and that's why he performs the Spear with all the power he has.

6 Ricky Starks

Although Ricky Starks is an athletic and agile wrestler, who can perform a variety of moves, including high-flying and power moves, he decided to stick with the Spear as his finisher.

Frankly, it's no wonder he made that decision, as his Spear is very good. Ricky Starks combines technique and power to deliver a great picture-perfect Spear, which most of the time results in a pinfall victory.

5 Charlotte Flair

Charlotte Flair is the only woman in WWE or AEW who uses the Spear on a regular basis, and what a good Spear it is. The Queen doesn't use the Spear as a finisher, but during matches, which makes it unpredictable when she will hit it.

Charlotte's Spear looks as powerful as a man's, and the execution is almost always flawless. The Spear is just another tool in Charlotte's box, as we are talking about a woman who can execute submission moves, like the Figure Eight, aerial moves, like the Moonsault, power moves, like a Powerbomb, and other moves like a Big Boot or Natural Selection.

4 Bron Breakker

Bron Breakker is a beast, he always fights with intensity and explosiveness, making it clear that his only goal is to destroy his opponent. With that said, the Spear is a move that fits perfectly with Breakker's wrestling style.

Bron Breakker's Spear looks lethal and painful, as he hits it with speed and precision, and looks like he's going to break his opponent in half. Breakker's Spear has the potential to be one of the best of all time.

3 Big E

Big E is injured, but he is still a WWE wrestler, so we have to talk about his Spear. Big E's Spear is simply unique, as he executes it through the ropes, sending his opponent and himself out of the ring.

This causes double damage to his opponent, as he takes the impact of the Spear, and then falls to the floor. It's a cool move that Big E has perfected, and the fans love to see it. Hopefully, Big E recovers soon to see his unique Spear again.

2 Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns’ Spear is not the most effective, as several wrestlers kick out of it, and he usually needs two or three Spears to win a match.

Nevertheless, Roman’s Spear always looks great, it looks powerful, clean, and devastating, and that’s precisely why it is one of the best Spears out there. The Tribal Chief also has a Guillotine Sleeper hold, which is cool, but he prefers to end his matches with the Spear.

1 Bobby Lashley

The best Spear currently in AEW and WWE is Bobby Lashley's, at least in terms of power and lethality. When The All Mighty hits his Spear, it looks like he's breaking his opponent in half, because it's a brutal impact. Lashley runs at full speed and drives forward ramming his opponent with his rock-hard body.

Also, Lashley's Spear looks pretty good because he extends his body in the air, unlike others who keep their feet on the mat. Bobby Lashley’s Spear is one of the best of all time.
