Taking the classic Acrobat style to a new level, Shelton Benjamin makes those that smirk before tilt their heads in such an uncomforting state.

Notable Combos

Samoan Drop / Northern Lights Suplex / Paydirt

Trainer 1: Matt Hardy "The Hardy Boyz"

Trainer 2: Bray Wyatt "The Eater of Worlds"

You do not need an initial match for this classic combo to explode. Simply fill Blue moves with Samoan Drop then add high strength Multiply Gems from Northern Lights Suplex to the board (preferably on Blue gems). Destroy all the modified gems using the finisher Paydirt & repeat the cycle until your opponent is defeated.

2. Superkick / 450 Splash / T-Bone Suplex

Trainer 1: Sin Cara "The International Sensation"

Trainer 2: Matt Hardy "The Hardy Boyz"

5star exclusive move-set. Prioritize Red match. Initially it is recommended to kick off the combo at the 2nd turn. Having The Fiend as coach will help you have a more favored starting board with Red gems.

Spawn Multiply Gems using Superkick first. Proceed to place Pyro gems from 450 Splash under those Multiply and detonate the Pyro pieces with T-Bone Suplex, this will in turn destroy the Multiply Gems too.

At 4star, without T-Bone Suplex, you may use Huracanrana in its place instead. You would have stronger Multiply Gems at the cost of stability when it comes to activating all those Pyro gems but the damage outcome potential is undoubtedly better.

In case you feel the number of Multiply Gems originally created by the Superkick move itself is enough, you may switch out Sin Cara for Sting "The Icon" in the trainer slot to avoid a "dry board" situation.
