All WWE Superstars suffer injuries due to moves going wrong. While some recover, others, unfortunately, have to retire from the wrestling business.

Every move performed in the squared circle is a risk, but some are more dangerous than others. Wrestlers all around the world have used moves that can cause so much damage to their opponents.

Remember when Randy Orton was punting his opponents in the head in the late 2000s? The move was over and fit Orton's personality, but it was also dangerous. That's why WWE banned the move for several years.

Many such moves have been banned by WWE.
