Remember that time Orton pinned Kane with a dropkick?

Didn't Sgt. Slaughter pin Ultimate Warrior with an elbow drop? It was after interference, but I still think he hit one before the pin, presumably to try to make him look at least slightly credible.
Outside of that, Dustin Rhodes has won matches as of late with a bulldog, but that is also considered one of his finishers for decades, so that's more a case where a move became mundane. He's also won with a scoop powerslam, but that's been years.

Undertaker using a leaping clothesline to pin King Kong Bundy at Mania 11, because he couldn't get Bundy up for any of his actual finishers.

All the clothesline finishes on early Survivor Series.
Not fair to say it, given what happened, but Austin's "roll-up" on Owen at SummerSlam.

All the clothesline finishes on early Survivor Series. That worked in some cases(like Duggan doing it to Valentine, since it's his finisher), but not so much in other cases(DiBiase doing it to Neidhart).

Nah, that was actually dope because it served a purpose and looked devastating He wasn't doing the Black Arrow anymore and that superplex was looking good. Than he started adding the Rings of Saturn with it

Not a marquee match, but El Dandy once beat Evan Karagias on WCW Saturday Night with a big punch to the face. Karagias was chopping El Dandy in the corner, Dandy ducked one, cracked him in the face, and pinned him. It was awesome.
Bret had good reason not to doubt El Dandy.

Wasn't this the match where he regained but then lost the Urn? I think it played quite well into the storyline - the power of the urn allowed him to chokeslam Yokozuna but without it, he couldn't lift a smaller man so resorted to clothesline finishers.

Speaking of dropkicks, who can forget that time Ryback tapped out to one?
