On the most recent edition of Sean Ross Sapp’s Q&A show on Fightful Select, interesting backstage details about John Cena were revealed with regards to other Superstars doing finishing moves that were similar to his Attitude Adjustment finisher.

Sean Ross Sapp was told by former WWE Superstar Tyler Reks that John Cena told him to not do the Inverted Death Valley Driver as it resembled the AA. While Cena didn’t go off on Reks, the 16-time World Champion felt that Reks’ finishing move, which is also known as the Burning Hammer, looked similar to the AA.

Sean added that he’d heard about many people who were told to not do certain moves by John Cena if it looked like his iconic finisher.

He revealed the following:

The evolution of John Cena’s AA

John Cena’s Attitude Adjustment (Fireman’s carry takeover) - previously known as the FU - may not have looked like the most destructive finishing move that it was made out to be but it is still one of the most recognizable finishers in pro wrestling history.

The AA was John Cena’s most potent weapon amongst his ‘five moves of doom’ and by the looks of it, the WWE veteran made sure the AA was not replicated or used in a different avatar as a finisher by other Superstars.
