In the early stages of his career, before gracing the WWE Main Roster, Mahal relied on the classic Camel Clutch.
This submission hold showcased his technical skills as he wrapped his legs around opponents, squeezing their spine with his arms—an effective maneuver during his NXT and independent circuit days.
Upon reaching the WWE Main Roster, Mahal’s repertoire expanded. During his first championship reign, he introduced the Khallas, a dramatic running side slam named after the Punjabi word for “king.” This move complemented his regal persona and dominance in the ring.

However, Mahal’s journey with finishers didn’t end there. The Cutthroat Side Slam, a modified version of the Khallas, emerged after losing the championship, demonstrating a shift towards a more aggressive demeanor.
The Cobra Clutch Slam followed, a running powerslam executed with a cobra clutch, reflecting a brief stint with a ruthless character.
In 2023, Mahal unveiled his current finisher, The Ring of Ruin—a powerful running forearm smash followed by a sit-out facebuster. This move marks his return to a dominant, aggressive style, emphasizing strength and ambition.
