5 Times WWE Superstars allegedly copied other wrestlers' finishing moves (and what happened next?)

#1 John Cena tells several Superstars to not perform moves similar to the AA

WWE legend John Cena

John Cena started using the AA way back in 2003, as a way to mock Brock Lesnar, whose finisher was the F-5. Years later, Cena's move had become an integral part of his arsenal and used to garner a big pop whenever he executed it. A short while ago, it was reported that John Cena had told several WWE Superstars backstage that if their finishers looked somewhat like the AA, they needed to stop using those moves. Cena also confronted Tyler Reks once, who was performing a move that looked similar to the AA.

Tyler Reks told me a story one time about how he went through the curtain after doing his inverted death valley driver (the burning hammer) and John Cena didn't go off on him but as like, 'What is that? That's too similar to my move. Don't do it again.'

And I have actually heard that about multiple people as it pertains to John Cena and their finishing move that if it looked similar to his, then he was like don't do it.

John Cena was with WWE for almost two decades and popularized the AA as one of the most effective finishers in recent memory. He won a total of 16 WWE World titles during his run, and many of those victories came with the help of the AA.
