1- Trusting the opponent
This reason may stem some controversy, but it is worth it. Former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins has been a recipient of some major criticism from both fans and wrestlers due to his risky level of in-ring competition. In the past year or so, Rollins has been the common denominator of three superstars who have suffered from injuries that put them on the shelf for a certain amount of time.
During a match with John Cena, Rollins performed a standing knee strike on Cena, breaking his nose and causing him to receive medical treatment. Last September, at the Night of Champions event, Rollins executed his buckle bomb signature move on Sting during their championship match not once, but twice. The impact of the move caused Sting to end his wrestling career and announce his retirement during his WWE Hall of Fame induction speech..
Just recently, the same move – now executed outside the ring on a barricade – caused Balor to forfeit his championship and undergo surgery for a torn labrum, as well as a bicep and pectoral tear. While Rollins is highly acclaimed for his in-ring work, the inability to perform certain moves at the expense of others have proven to be costly, and can decrease the amount of trust that others could have competing in the ring against him.
Rollins is not the only person to blame, though, as other performers perform moves ineffectively as well.
