I said it in the last round, I don’t see the appeal in the One Winged Angel outside of how protected it is.

But it looks like its going to be this or the Burning Hammer

I’m quite surprised at that result honestly

Same especially since I didn't think Burning Hammer would even beat RKO

me too, and quite frankly I was going into it ready to vote the hammer. but liek with every other round, I ended up changing my mind and going with the Styles Clash. really is a forgotten but devastating move. probably people forget a bout it a bit because he mostly does the much much less cool forearm now because (I'm guessing) WWE are too prudish for hi mto use it on most people not named Cena

Although I think he used it on other people other than Cena, but for sure he rarely uses it right?

He's def used it on quite a few people it's just much more rare, but he'll still bust it out on even a random Raw, doesn't have to be a PPV. I think that actually started back in NJPW when he broke Yoshi Tatsu's neck with it (Yoshi's fault admitted by himself, he tucked his head) and it became an actual feared move all of a sudden instead of just a cool one

I remember showing the One Winged Angel to my Brother and he legit went "WHO WOULD TAKE THAT?!" So even a non-wrestling fan sees it as a hell of a dangerous move and a genuine match ender. While the Stunner is Iconic, it is worn down a bit from others using it, and the OWA being so protected as a move adds to its myth. Aside from a rope-break or someone breaking up the pin (or one explosion) only one person cleanly kicked out.

that makes sense. so maybe its a "I won't do it on people I know can't take it safely" because he doesn't want to be responsible for someone tucking their had or doing something scary while performing it?

Was it Shane or Owens maybe he Style Clashes off the steps (or onto the stops, I forget). was absolutely devastating

Stunner has gotten further than expected. OWA takes this for me.

I'm not even sure its that bc yoshi is someone he'd probably trust too, dude literally said he just derped basically with tucking his head lol I think he might just like the move being a super finish now, way easy than busting out that crazy dive he used to do as one I guess :lol i think the steps one was to Owens too but idk, think Cena also took that spot as well. He also hit a crazy super styles clash from the ropes on Ricochet I think last year sometime

I guess in a way, it's not that different than Joe and the MuscleBuster. Complete freak accident but it probably just makes you not want to use the move all the time and probably maybe even gives you a bit of the yips and your not as comfortable busting it out all the time

I don’t remember if Cena took one off the steps but I definitely think he took the Clash on a chair and Roman took one on the floor

Judging by the fact that this isn't even the Styles Clash thread....it might even beat the OWA :DEAD: would def be one of the lowest seeds to win a tournament on here I believe

we will see, Im mostly surprised it went this far. I'm certainly not voting it over OWA (due to protection and being more devastating imo). everyone loves AJ and Omega has a lot of weirdo haters so I could see people not voting OWA out of pure spite too
