CM Punk performing a piledriver on John Cena on WWE Raw
The number one rule in professional wrestling is for opponents to protect each other from legitimate, serious injuries, and if that isn't possible with a wrestling move, there's a good chance that move is banned by WWE. There are a number of different wrestling moves that have been banned because they've been considered too dangerous to the Superstars' well-being.
9 Michelle McCool's Wings of Love Considered Too Devastating for the Women's Roster Many readers will recall Michelle McCool's far more popular Faithbreaker finisher, largely because of the controversy it created because it drew inspiration from AJ Styles' Styles Clash. However, before she had the Faithbreaker, the future Divas Champion had the Wings of Love, which took inspiration from the Angels Wings, popularized by Styles' former TNA tag team partner, Christopher Daniels.
7 Piledriver One of the Most Infamous Moves in Pro Wrestling The piledriver has been cited as being one of the most brutal moves for a wrestler to take. It's surprisingly safer to receive than most moves out there as long as the opponent remembers to tuck their head before the landing, so that their head doesn't connect with the ground. That being said, the piledriver is also a move with dire consequences if taken the wrong way, or even done wrong.
5 Brainbuster A Dealy Twist on the Suplex Created by Killer Karl Kox, the brainbuster takes a basic suplex and makes it scary. Think of a simple suplex, but instead of landing on the back, a wrestler is dropped straight on their head, almost like an elevated DDT. It's a move that sounds as lethal as it looks, so much so that it was banned from WWE for some time.
