5 Current WWE Superstars That Had Their Finishing Moves Banned 

#2 Kevin Owens

Fight Owens Fight.

Many believe that Kevin Owens is one of the best wrestlers working today. Wrestling fans will tell you that Owens can work any programme, wrestle anyone and do any promo, as he is that freaking good.

Moreover, when Owens walked into the doors of NXT, he was treated like a big deal. As Owens first night in the promotion saw him destroy his former friend Sami Zayn, which showed that he isn't going to be your typical heel.

WWE backed the former Universal Champion, as he was given some good booking for the first few months of his career, but the company took one thing away from him at the same time. Owens finisher from his time on the indie scenes was outlawed in the WWE, as it is clearly too dangerous for the modern product.

Furthermore, if you witnessed the destruction this move causes to Owens' opponent, it becomes apparent that WWE made the right call.

The Package Piledriver is one of the most devasting moves that could be performed in a wrestling ring, as it involves hooking your opponent in a powerbomb position and driving their head into the mat.

Owens' replacement finisher isn't that bad in the grander scheme of things, as the Pop-up Powerbomb is one of the most recognisable finishers in wrestling today.

#3 Triple H

A move that has been changed.

Even the former WWE Champion and current COO of the company is not safe from having a finisher from being banned, as 'The Game' was in hot water back in the day for using a version of The Pedigree that was more dangerous than it should have been.

This is a version of The Pedigree that saw Triple H lock his opponents' arms, thus leaving their face to take the full impact of the move.

This was something that didn't sit well with many people, as The Pedigree could cause legitimate damage if not modified.

Therefore, Triple H made the adjustment to his move, and the rest is history. We still see Triple H lock his opponents arms from time to time, but it's not as half as bad when he was planting people's faces in the mat back in the 90s.
