After a long wait that lasted for months, The Fiend made his presence felt on an episode of Monday Night Raw, and attacked Finn Balor in a terrifying segment. Soon after, he came out again on the Raw Reunion episode and attacked WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley. To everyone's surprise, The Fiend put down Foley with a Mandible Claw.

Later, Foley opened up on Bray Wyatt using the finisher as his own, and was nothing but supportive of the same.

I think that's for everyone to think for themselves. It's all about the follow-up. And I have been very happy with the follow-up as well. I'm really happy to see him using the move and to be shifting gears of that character to make it intriguing and exciting television.

A while ago, Owens again turned into a babyface when he attacked Dolph Ziggler after a tag team loss, and hit a Stunner on him. Soon after, Owens hit the Stunner on Shane McMahon, kicking off a feud between the two. It was reported that WWE was building up Owens as a modern-day Stone Cold Steve Austin, and the regular use of Stunner was a part of his character change.

Austin spoke with Sports Illustrated about having a talk with Owens regarding him using the Stunner.

My finish was being used by someone else before I really made it famous, or trademarked it, so to speak. So I told him, go ahead and use the Stone Cold Stunner.
