Jericho looks to hit finishing move on Kofi

The Lionsault is a move in which a wrestler springboards (bounces off the ropes), then executes a backflip and lands on an opponent.

The move was popularized by Chris Jericho, executing it in many of his matches throughout his time as a wrestler and is always an entertaining move to see pulled off.

When a version of this Lionsault is performed onto an opponent on the floor outside the ring, rather than one in the ring, it is called an Asai Moonsault. This move is named after its creator Yoshihiro Asai, better known by his gimmick name Último Dragón.
