This move involves him transitioning from a side control position into a cross armbreaker, applying immense pressure to his opponent's arm. He often combines this with a leg lock, further restricting his opponent's ability to escape. The ARMageddon served as O'Reilly's finisher throughout his early career on the independent circuit and in NJPW.
