Bully credited WWE, Owens, and Orton for using the pile driver exactly in the way it was intended to be used — as a "big deal." Going on to discuss its use on TV, Bully acknowledged that the pile driver has resulted in past injuries, perhaps most famously during a match between Owen Hart and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin that broke Austin's neck.

The boys stay away from the pile driver because nobody wants to end up like Austin, on the bad end of a mistake. So, knowing this, Kevin Owens still did it to Randy Orton, and that aspect of it right there, you can go even farther with."
The Hall of Famer then suggested WWE bring Austin in to have him cut a promo about Owens using the pile driver. Something like that would only help push Owens into becoming one of the company's biggest heels, which Bully feels that the wrestler is already well on his way to becoming.
