10 Insane Wrestling Moves AJ Styles Doesn't Do Anymore

4. Bloody Sunday

Fosbury Flop
ROH

Bloody Sunday - a double-underhook brainbuster - was popularized by Prince Devitt in New Japan. Devitt may not have been the largest of wrestlers, but as a junior heavyweight, he was able to use his strength to dominate other juniors, hoisting them in the air and planting them with the required precision.

After Devitt left New Japan and AJ Styles took over as leader of Bullet Club, he took the Bloody Sunday for himself. It made for a strong addition to "The Phenomenal One's" already dazzling repertoire, especially when done on the apron, as seen here. Poor Adam Cole.

Though Styles stopped doing the move when he got to WWE, it's not gone. Devitt - renamed Finn Balor - started using it again, though it's been renamed "1916."
