Kelani Jordan’s Finishers

Kelani Jordan uses Stunner and Split-leg Moonsault as her two finishers as of 2023.

Stunner

In professional wrestling, the term "stunner" refers to the three-quarter facelock jawbreaker. This move was devised by Mikey Whipwreck and named Whipper-Snapper. A three-quarter facelock is applied by an attacking wrestler by reaching back and grabbing the opponent's head to pull the opponent's jaw above the attacking wrestler's shoulder.

The attacking wrestler then falls to a seated position and forces the opponent's jaw, mainly the opponent's neck, to drop down on the attacking wrestler's shoulder. Since using it can be dangerous, it is now prohibited in seven states. Sometimes the top of the head is held with the free hand.

Split-leg Moonslaut

An aerial wrestling move known as a moonsault, moonsault press, or back flip splash is credited to The Great Muta, also known as Keiji Mutoh, for much of its popularity in the United States, even though "Leaping" Lanny Poffo utilized it in North America years before Mutoh arrived from Japan. Mando Guerrero, the brother of the late, famous Eddie Guerrero and the renowned son of Gory Guerrero, created it in Mexico.

In a split-get moonsault, the performer jumps to the top turnbuckle and then descends to split their legs onto the top rope, which is coming into that turnbuckle post. They then use the force of their thighs on the rope to flip themselves backwards and onto a prone opponent.
