wrestler raises a knee laterally after taking a side step, striking the opponent's stomach and often flipping them over. Invented by Riki Choshu. Knee lift An attack in which a wrestler brings the knee up to hit the opponent under the chin as if performing an uppercut. This can either be performed in mid clinch or with the attacking wrestler charging at a kneeling or bent over opponent, lifting the knee upwards to strike underneath the jaw or the side of the head. A double variation sets a wrestler standing in front of the opponent, then while performing the mid clinch, leaping to throw both knees upwards to strike the opponent's chin, then releasing the hold to fall back on their feet. Shining wizard A strike invented by The Great Muta delivered to an opponent down on one knee. After stepping off the opponent's raised knee with one foot, the wrestler swings the other leg and strikes the opponent's head with either the side of the knee or shin. A slight variation known as shining apprentice sees the wrestler use a running enzuigiri to the kneeling opponent's head without the use of the opponent's knee for leverage. Many other "shining" attacks exist, including big boots and dropkicks. The shining wizard can be applied to a standing opponent as well; this would be likely applied by stepping off the opponent's chest and then delivering a knee smash to the opponent's face. AJ Lee uses this move as her finisher in her time in WWE. Tegan Nox uses this move as her finisher called Shiniest Wizard. Adam Cole uses a version of this move, called The Boom, where he strikes his opponent at the back of their head and neck. Spinning knee Also known as a discus knee or rolling knee, the wrestler advances towards a sitting or bent over opponent, performs a 360° spin and uses the momentum to deliver a jumping knee strike to the opponent's head. Kick A kick in wrestling is an attack using any part of the foot or lower leg to strike the opponent's body or head. Back kick Involves the attacker beginning by facing their opponent, then turning 180° and bending the rear leg at the knee or extending it backwards in full, exploiting the turning momentum to strike the opponent in the chest or stomach. Also known as reverse side kick or heel kick.
