It appears that somebody got mad at the term ushigoroshi. Mauro Ranallo brought that into WWE since it’s the name of the move Hirooki Goto popularized that Styles now uses regularly. There’s the big part of the company that thinks if the term wasn’t used in their day, it shouldn’t be used. Phillips has been using the term, since he’s worked with Ranallo, but when Styles did it, he said “fireman’s carry neckbreaker,” and no way he does that unless he was specifically told to drop the other reference.
