Former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre made his debut last night on SmackDown Live after the draft, and on the very first day, he had some fancy moves up his sleeves.

McIntyre faced off against new draftee Mustafa Ali. It was another open challenge against him which he took with both hands. He defeated Ali fair and square but not with his usual Claymore Kick but by a submission maneuver named Kimura Lock.

This Kimura lock was loved by the fans of WWE Universe. Here is the Tweet below about the move 

McIntyre debuted with the sword “Angela” during his entrance in this new blue brand. It was pretty Hilarious, though, since McAfee made some hilarious comparisons of the blade with Hasbullah.

Kimura lock submission used by McIntyre is one of the strongest grapples

Kimura lock is often called “the gentle art,” has been a fundamental tool for submission and control for years. It is a shoulder lock submission that utilizes a figure-four grip.

This finishing submission grapple is used by not only McIntyre but also The Beast Brock Lesnar. This is also considered Lesnar’s best finisher, and he has often broken his opponent’s bones.

However, it is pretty interesting to see that McIntyre has started off with something new in this SmackDown journey and would definitely look to capitalize on this. He would definately like to make a mark and go for some of the championship titles.
