In one of the most expected moves of 2020, Rob Gronkowski is reportedly finalizing a deal to join forces with Vince McMahon and head to the WWE. It's quite simply the perfect fit for the former New England Patriots Super Bowl champion.

However, that doesn't mean everything is going to be rosy for Gronk, who surely has some haters swarming following his latest me-first decision. While we're not totally against it, the thought of WWE legends throwing down with him and executing their signatures moves will bring a smile to anyone's face. Here's four in particular we'd love to see.

4. The People's Elbow

There's a reason they call it the most electrifying move in sports entertainment. Goodness me, how awesome is it when The Rock raises his eyebrow, flies off the ropes and drops 'The People's Elbow' on a poor son of a gun? Well, with Gronk now about to enter center stage, a comeback from Rocky would be nothing short of sweet. For good measure, go ahead and hit him with The Rock Bottom too.

3. Tombstone Piledriver

Imagine Gronk is in the middle of the ring, and out of nowhere the lights go out for 20 seconds. Next thing you know, The Undertaker is smack dab in the middle of the action when those same lights come back on. Before Gronk even has time to pee his pants, he'll be flipped upside down, with Undertaker in the middle of giving him the Tombstone Piledriver. To make matters worse for the former tight end, Undertaker then crosses his arms and lays him to rest. Yup, sign us up.

2. Sweet Chin Music

"I think I'm cute. I know I'm sexy." Bah Gawd, that's Shawn Michaels' music! Oh, you better believe the one and only Heartbreak Kid was going to make the list. Few moves are more historic in all of wrestling than some Sweet Chin Music. You think Michaels is going to put up with Gronk's ways in the ring? One foul step, and HBK will be ready to hit him with a kick RIGHT in the kisser.

1. Stone Cold Stunner

You knew this was going to be featured, and we decided to save the best for last. It's the Stone Cold Stunner, folks. It's what separates America from the rest of the world. Steve Austin loves kicking someone in the ribs, then stunning them into oblivion. No one deserves this more than Gronk. Known for his partying ways off the field, Austin could hit him with that Stone Cold Stunner, then have 2-3 brewskis tossed into the ring, smash them together, and down those beers right over Gronk. It's almost too perfect. It must happen.
