#4 Too many of the same moves used across most matches

The Young Bucks are known for their 'Superkick Party', but the entire roster used the move at Fight for the Fallen.
The Young Bucks are known for their 'Superkick Party', but the entire roster used the move at Fight for the Fallen.

When you are set to watch a Young Bucks' match, you know to expect some crazy spots, fluid movements between moves and a plethora of Superkicks.

They provided all of those things in their main-event match with Cody and Dustin Rhodes at Fight for the Fallen, but the problem was that almost every other match on the card also did.

From the tag team match between SCU and the Lucha Brothers to the women's tag team match to the triple threat tag team match, all three bouts saw wrestlers use suicide dives, Superkicks and double stomps.

I understand that there are basic moves that almost everyone in the business uses, but if you want your product to stand out and "be its own thing", then you need to switch up some of the matches and moves used in those matches.

If you let everyone do the same moves, then there is little difference in the bouts and thus a lack of creativity.

The Elite and most of the members of the roster have shown themselves to be some of the most creative performers in the world. But when you rely on the same things in the same nine or ten matches on a PPV, then the lack of variation can be somewhat boring.
