WWE have a lot of 'dangerous' moves banned and one of them was the Canadian Destroyer. The finisher was banned by Vince McMahon as it was a dangerous one if not executed to perfection.

However, recently that has been used by Rey Mysterio and reports suggest that the ban has been removed. Wrestling Observer covered it on the latest episode and Dave Meltzer said:

Because you know that the Piledriver is completely banned in the WWE unless you're The Undertaker or Kane where you are allowed to do the Tombstone, but the regular Piledriver the move that Bill Longson or whoever it was who developed it first but he was the first one to popularize it that a million of guys from Orndorff and Harley Race and everybody else did.

You know, it's like a banned move in the WWE, but then there are guys doing this Canadian Destroyer and it's like, I mean it makes the same sense as in Mexico that the Piledriver is banned and everyone does it.

Alvarez added an interesting twist to the story and claimed that McMahon removed the ban because he loved it on a NXT show.

Apparently there was some NXT match, it was a Takeover or something and Vince was there. Somebody did a Destroyer, and Vince was like, 'Go*****, why don't we do those mad moves on the main roster, something like that and then it was allowed on the main roster.
