5 Current WWE Superstars That Had Their Finishing Moves Banned 

#4 Samoa Joe

A devasting finisher.

The one thing about Samoa Joe that I have covered in detail in another article was the fact that Joe can bend the thin reality of kayfabe to his advantage, as almost every match or promo involving him has some sense of believability in it.

But there was one thing in Joe's arsenal that was too real for WWE to ignore, and most of you know by now that is his finisher the Muscle Buster.

This is a move that has ended careers, as Joe hit the move on Tyson Kidd back in 2015, and it, unfortunately, ended the Hart Dungeon graduate's career.

This move has become so infamous within the realm of WWE, if Joe pulled it out of the bag at an unexpected time, the WWE Universe would go crazy.

Well, Joe did bring back the Muscle Buster at Backlash 2018, but since the show was a disappointment and everyone wanted to go home, it was wasted. Hopefully, WWE can change that if they allow Joe to bring back the move in the future, even if it's just as a teaser.

#5 Randy Orton

Orton was a real heel back in the day.

Randy Orton's RKO is possibly the most popular finishing move of all time, and that is not due to the attention it receives online from silly memes, but it's due to Orton performing the move with his god-like athletic ability.

However, while Orton's RKO might be his primary way of finishing off his opponents, but back in the day, Orton was busy punting his enemies heads.

You may remember Orton in his prime being the dirtiest SOB in the WWE, and WWE did a great job by making him hatable during that time.

The Punt Kick was a big part of Orton being a top-notch heel, but ever since Orton was botching the move by literally injuring his opponent, Vince McMahon decided to call it a day on the devasting finisher.
