The difference in the selling of a Piledriver

"Hey y'all, this is something that got me thinking recently and wanted to get the communities thoughts on it.

So on Smackdown a couple weeks ago, Kevin Owens gave Randy Orton a kind of weak looking Piledriver and he got stretchered out and hasn't been seen since because of injuries from it.

But on Dynamite this past Wednesday, Kris Statlander Tombstoned Mercedes Mone and it looked way more devastating with Mercedes head basically bouncing off of the mat.

But yet she was 100% for Full Gear just a few nights later and even won her match.

I know they are two different companies with two different philosophies, but as someone who watches both companies, seeing them back to back kind of made the Randy Piledriver just look weaker to me in multiple ways, partially because to me the Tombstone is just the straight up more devastating move out of the two and Mercedes was completely unconscious after where Randy was still moving.

But I'm curious of what the community thinks of this, I know Piledrivers are a controversial topic in wrestling currently, do you prefer the way AEW did it here or WWE and why?"
