Line 41:
This variation is also referred to as a sideways moonsault, rolling moonsault, rounding splash, and Original-style moonsault. The attacker climbs the top rope, or other elevated position facing away the opponent. Instead of doing a backflip as in a normal moonsault, the attacker rotates their body off to one side diagonally and lands on the opponent chest-first, facing the turnbuckle as in a normal moonsault. Innovated by [[Satoru Sayama|Tiger Mask I]] and used by [[Bam Bam Bigelow]] as the ''Bam Bam-Sault'' and [[Big_Van_Vader|Vader]] as the ''Vadersault'' respectively.
 
Another variation of this move sees the attacker facing the prone opponent with the attacker leaping forward into the air rotating their body in a semi-circle to end up-side down as if doing a midair [[Cartwheel (gymnastics)|cartwheel]] then landing on the opponent chest first facing the turnbuckle. [[Shane McmahonMcMahon]] used this movedmove in a 1999 singles match against [[Test_(wrestler)|Test]]. [[Alexa Bliss]] uses this move as her finisher, which she calls ''Twisted Bliss''. [[Dana Brooke]] uses this move as a variation while running to an opponent lying on the mat, they rotate in opposite directions.<ref>{{Citation|last=Issac Gore|title=Dana Brooke vs Alexa Bliss- Diving Rounding Moonsault|date=2016-11-30|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSqZ--cHEzQ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/tSqZ--cHEzQ |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|access-date=2017-10-23}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

{{citation needed span|date=September 2024|Popularized by [[Iyo Sky]]}}, while performing in [[World Wonder Ring Stardom]], this move involves a moonsault from the top rope. Instead of landing in a splash position, the wrestler finishes the rotation with a double foot stomp on the prone opponent.
