Very few moves in WWE are as iconic as The Stunner. Made famous by ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin, we’ve seen many current Superstars use a modified version of the move in their arsenal.

Kevin Owens had been using the Pop Up Powerbomb as his finisher since his days in NXT and wanted to try something different. So the former WWE Universal Champion took permission from Austin to use the Stunner as his finisher.

“I felt like everybody was doing powerbombs left and right, and I wanted to try something else. And one day it occurred to me that no one does the stunner as a finishing move, but to me, it’s always been the best move."

"So I just went to Steve one day when he was here and I asked him, and he said, ‘I can’t believe nobody’s asked me this before, but of course you can use it. Do whatever you want with it."

"I did that out of respect for the people who’ve come before me. I would never want to do that without his approval."

"He gave me the approval and it’s working for me, so I have no intention of stopping and no intention of renaming it, either. It’s the stunner and it always will be the stunner.”
