The Rudram, Rg Vedic Rudra Suktam, etc have never been "hijacked" by us. All traditional commentators have used it as a name of nArAyaNa only and I just highlighted that here. The narasimha tApanIya upanishad clearly identifies the deity of the Rudram, Rudra Suktam, etc as Narasimha.
Just because people like you didn't know we used the Rudram before (which is always chanted at all vishNu temples as well) doesn't mean we "hijacked" it.

I salute bhagavan (narasimha), who is full of perfections and without blemishes (vishveshvara), who is greater than Brahma, Rudra, etc (mahAdeva), who is 3 eyed (Tryambaka), who destroys the triguNas sattva, rajas, tamas (tripurAntaka), who is the upAyam (trikAgni kAla), the destroyer of samsAra dukham who is like kAlAgni to samsAra tApam (kAlAgni rudrA), who is distinctly black necked (nIlakaNTha), who is the victor over samsArA known as mrtyu for his devotees (mrtyunjaya), who is the lord of all (sarvEshvara), who is nirdosha and eternally auspicious (sadAshiva), who attains his devatvam due to his association with srI lakshmi devi, ie, he is mahAdeva because he is sriya pati: (sriman mahAdevA).

No commands from above I obey

Behold! I am blackest ov the black
Ov khaos I am, the disobediant one
Depraved son who hath dwelt in nothingness
