10 Rarely Used WWE Moves That Always Get A Pop
10. Code Red (John Cena)
John Cena has been notorious throughout his career for having a somewhat limited moveset. His incredibly basic finishing move and reliance on a methodical series of comeback spots is part of what led a segment of fans to turn on him, creating one of the most divisive babyface characters in wrestling history.
However, during Cena's highly entertaining reign as United States Champion in 2016, Raw viewers were treated to an entirely new performer. In weekly title defences against the likes of Sami Zayn, Cesaro and Kevin Owens, Cena worked a style reminiscent of the independent circuit, utilising moves many previously believed to be beyond his ability.
One of the more impressive manoeuvres in that arsenal is the Code Red, or leg trap sunset flip powerbomb. It's a move more commonly deployed in the cruiserweight arena, so to see it in bouts between John Cena and Cesaro, as well as Cena and Kevin Owens, was remarkable.
Cena still makes use of the move occasionally in his bigger matches and it's certainly one of the more spectacular things the former Doctor of Thuganomics can pull off between the ropes.
