What is Matthew Taven’s Finisher

Michael Bennett is known for his prowess in executing double-team finishing moves alongside his partner Matt Taven. One of their signature maneuvers is the "Hail Mary," which involves an aided piledriver, showcasing their teamwork and strength in the ring. Another impactful move in their arsenal is the "Extreme Combination," inspired by the Hardys, where Bennett initiates with a Twist of Fate followed seamlessly by Taven's Swanton Bomb, leaving their opponents reeling and solidifying their dominance as a formidable tag team duo.

Apart from executing double finishing moves with his partner, Matt Taven employs his unique finishing move known as the "Climax" to secure victories over his opponents.

Taven executes this move by trapping his opponent in a headlock bulldog position, then leaning forward with one leg before forcefully dropping his opponent onto their head or face onto the mat, leaving them disabled and sealing his triumph in the ring.
