A variation of the seated senton was performed by Earthquake, whose Earthquake Splash would see him run off the ropes to gain momentum for the senton and then jump onto the opponent while running. A variation sees smaller wrestlers using the tops of their heads instead of the shoulder or running from the center of the ring. The wrestler then throws a leg and kicks up over their waist and chest, hitting the opponent with the point of the foot, usually in the head.
Often treated as having comic or sexual connotations rather than as a legitimately painful move, due to the move's resemblance to a teabag.

It is similar to the soccer kick in MMA. Also called enzui lariat, it sets the attacking wrestler charging against the opponent's back, driving them to the mat face first. The move is also used by Mojo Rawley, Keith Lee and Lance Archer. The wrestler stands facing an upright opponent, lowers the head and then jumps or charges forwards, driving the top of the head into the abdomen of the opponent. Also known as reverse roundhouse kick, it sees the attacking wrestler spinning 360° on their rear foot gaining power and momentum from spinning in place, then connecting their lead foot's heel/calf to a charging opponent's face. There is also a top rope variation. Used by Katsuyori Shibata as the P.K. When the held arm is completely extended, the wrestler pulls the opponent back and strikes them with the free arm.

Chris Adams, renaissance man. Popularized by "Macho Man" Randy Savage. A theatrical variation in which the wrestler rotates the attacking arm in a "winding-up" motion before striking the opponent, making the punch appear more effective in the same way as a bolo punch in boxing. Billie Kay also uses this move calling it the Shades of Kay. This move is named after the way some police officers used to submit a suspect to torture or in cases involving forced confession. Sometimes referred to as a frying pan or an open-hand chop. Matt Cardona used this move, calling it the "Rough Ryder" during his time in WWE as Zack Ryder before renaming it the "Radio Silence" in AEW. An uncommon variation of the move which sees the wrestler being held and spun into a tilt-a-whirl by the opponent. However, due to trademark infringement, he changed to his real name and referred to his signature move as the Head On Collision. The wrestler will often slap the thigh of his kicking leg (or sometimes, his chest since the audience will be focused on his kicking leg), at the point where his foot makes contact with his opponent, to generate an appropriate sound effect. A variation has the attacking wrestler standing on the top turnbuckle or springboarding from the top rope to get the required height to execute it. In Spanish, the word senton (Properly spelled as Sentón) refers to landing on the lower back or buttocks after taking a fall, either on purpose (as for comedic effect) or accidentally.
