The longest titleholder in AEW history, Hikaru Shida's finisher is a vicious knee strike to a kneeling opponent, called the Three Count. It has helped her put away many opponents, including Nyla Rose at Double or Nothing when she won her first AEW Women's Championship.

Shida usually attempts to get as much momentum behind her as possible as she bounces off the ropes and strikes her opponents in the head with her knee.

It's a devastating move and if she can execute it on the Native Beast, she can pull it off against anyone.


#2. Paradigm Shift- Jon Moxley's finisher in AEW

Jon Moxley currently uses Paradigm Shift as his finisher in AEW, a snap double underhook DDT. Sometimes he elevates his opponents to a decent height before driving their head into the mat or the floor.

Moxley used the same move, albeit under a different name, in WWE. But he executes it more intensely in AEW. At times, it's almost like a mix between a DDT and a headlock driver, making it look even more dangerous.

Paradigm Shift has earned him plenty of victories, including the all-important win at AEW Revolution 2020 against Chris Jericho for the AEW World Championship.
