5 finishing moves that would be banned in the WWE and the wrestlers who use them

#4 Weapon X - Brian Cage

The Machine's repertoire would probably be watered down a tad in the WWE

One of Impact Wrestling and Lucha Underground's best stars, Brian Cage has quite a unique move set considering his size. The Swolverine has no right to pull off some of the offense he does, but Cage has found himself to be one of the most innovative performers in the world of pro wrestling at the moment.

With his size, it wouldn't surprise anyone if he was signed to the WWE at some point in his career. That being said, he'd have to leave behind one of his most unique moves.

Weapon X is, essentially, an STO done from a Gorey Special position. It's one of the most protected moves in modern wrestling, and for good reason. Driving his opponent face first with all of his force, it's no wonder that it's caught the wrestling world by storm.

Sadly, it's probably a little bit too much for the WWE to handle. The company strives itself on trying to keep its competitors safe, and while Cage hasn't injured anyone with the move yet, it's easy to assume that the company would have a hard time greenlighting it.
