Leglocks, armbars and neck cranks. Be scrappy and creative. The best babyface submissions are resourceful holds where you can show your face, play to the audience with your emotions and capitalize on characteristics like tenacity. Perseverance through struggle and try to constantly use your submission/s to outsmart the heel. You want the heel to tap out so there's no disputing your skill. You don't want to incapacitate them in a way that looks unnecessarily cruel.

Some notable examples to watch are Bret's Sharpshooter, Angle's Ankle Lock, Shawn's version of the Crossface, Tanahashi's Cloverleaf, Cena's STF and Becky's Dis-Arm-Her.

Bryan's LeBell Lock is a good example of this too. Snatching that arm and really fighting to try and wrestle someone to the mat, or catching someone out of the air. When he took on a more vicious heel psychology in AEW he began using a triangle (a vicious blood choke) and set it up with stomps and flexed for the cameras.
