5 most overused moves in AEW

#4. AEW is overdoing the Powerbomb Symphony

Many AEW wrestlers have used powerbombs in the past. Kenny Omega favors a combination powerbomb, buckle-bombing his opponents into the corner and then hitting a sit-out spinebuster. In Eddie Kingston's first match with the promotion, he even hit a powerbomb on Cody Rhodes into a pile of thumbtacks. More recently, Wardlow began using on a series of powerbombs on his opponents, nicknamed the "Powerbomb Symphony."

Like other moves highlighted here, seeing the powerbomb so regularly has diminished its effectiveness. It's a move that always looks like it should end a match, but wrestlers' ability to kick out of it has made it a shadow of its former self.

Even having Wardlow perform it so many times in a row is starting to make them feel as commonplace as Brock Lesnar's multiple German suplexes.

#3. Penta El Zero M's package piledriver is losing its previous impact

Penta El Zero Miedo's unique wrestling style is full of great offensive moves. He climbed through the top of promotions like Lucha Underground with his lethal-looking moveset. In AEW, however, his in-ring tactics have been significantly watered-down.

Perhaps no better example of this can be found than through Penta's package piledriver. It's a move that Penta makes look incredibly stiff, especially when he manages to hit it on the ring apron. While it managed to put away numerous opponents on AAA and Lucha Underground, AEW wrestlers regularly kick out of it without any issue whatsoever.

Even worse, some performers have even kicked out of the assisted package piledriver Penta uses in tag team matches, leaving the importance of the move to wither away.
