10 Best Exceptions To WWE Rules

3. Piledrivers Are Banned

Many fans have pointed out the hypocrisy in WWE's decree that nobody can bust out a trusty piledriver other than The Undertaker. Of course, it has happened in other matches over the years, albeit rarely. CM Punk's piledriver on John Cena in 2013 might be one of the last 'Taker-less versions that springs to mind.

Good, because it should be that way.

The Undertaker's Tombstone variant is one of the most famous finishing moves in pro wrestling history, and it would've been a shame had someone so safe (who has never hurt anyone using it) been forced to abandon his signature hold just because others couldn't be trusted.

That Tombstone is so safe that 'Taker was even allowed to use it on top of a barn during the 'Boneyard' brilliance against AJ Styles at WrestleMania 36. Now ex-WWE man Karl Anderson was the one taking it on that occasion, and it looked awesome.
