LA Knight Finisher
LA Knight currently uses Blunt Force Trauma (BFT) as his finishing move, where he surrounds his opponent's head like a Stunner and drives his opponent’s face first to the ground. However, during his last few years in Impact Wrestling and the initial run of NXT, he used the BFT as a combination, where he surrounded his opponent's head. Instead of driving his head to the floor, he lands the face into his knee and strikes with a discus clothesline.
For the first three years of his pro-wrestling career, while wrestling in Independent Wrestling Circuits under the name Dick Rick he used “Single Leg Power Pomb” as his finishing move. In 2010, when wrestling for the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) under the name Eli Drake he used “Gravy Train” as his finishing move, where he lifted his opponent over his shoulder and delivered a back-to-belly piledriver. Which Sheamus uses under the name Celtic Cross.
