#4 Bloody Sunday

A double-underhook brainbuster – Bloody Sunday – is one of the more vicious moves on this list, but the reason that it is here doesn't have anything to do with the WWE banning it or it being too risky for AJ Styles to perform. The reason has more to do with a New Japan Pro Wrestling connection.

Bloody Sunday was actually popularised by a man who wrestled in NJPW under the name of Prince Devitt. You may know him better as Finn Balor. When AJ Styles took over as the leader of Bullet Club following Balor’s switch to the WWE, he incorporated the move into his arsenal to pay homage to the creator of Bullet Club.

Nowadays, Balor uses the move in the WWE under the name 1916, and in a show of respect, AJ hasn’t used The Demon King’s move for himself after jumping over to WWE. Fair play to you, Mr Styles. That’s a classy gesture all around.
