Finn Balor's finish is simple but destructive

The Coup-De-Grace is another finisher which has simplicity yet looks as legitimate as possible. WWE probably looks at it that way as well, because, since his arrival to WWE in 2014, the finisher has been kicked out of only once: by Kevin Owens at The Beast In The East special in 2015.

That was the very night that Balor was crowned the new NXT Champion. Although he took Hideo Itami's spot (who was clearly poised to win the NXT title in his home country of Japan prior to injury), it was a great moment.

Since coming to the main roster in July 2016, not a single person has kicked out of the coup-de-grace. Some of Finn Balor's victims include elite names such as Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens, Samoa Joe, Seth Rollins and Jinder Mahal.
