A facebuster, also known as a faceplant, is a takedown move in professional wrestling in which an attacking wrestler forces their opponent down to the mat face-first without involving a headlock or facelock. A standard facebuster, also known as a jumping facebuster, involves the wrestler grabbing hold of the opponent's head/hair and dropping down to their knees, forcing the opponent's face into the mat.

The attacking wrestler places an opponent in an Argentine backbreaker rack, where the opponent is held face-up across both the shoulders of the wrestler. From here the wrestler falls sideways (towards the side where the opponent's head is held) while still holding the opponent's head with one arm and flipping the opponent's legs over with the other, driving them down to the mat face-first. WWE wrestler Bianca Belair uses this move and calls it the Kiss of Death (K.O.D).

From a position in which the opponent is bent forward against the wrestler's midsection, the wrestler grabs around the opponent's midsection and lifts so that the opponent is held upside down, facing in the same direction as the wrestler. The wrestler then hooks both arms of the opponent using their legs and falls forward, planting the opponent's body into the mat face-first. The move often sees the wrestler keep their legs hooked under the arms of the opponent after hitting the move, using the underhooking technique to turn the opponent on to their back into a Rana style pinning position. This move was innovated by Col. DeBeers and was made famous by Diamond Dallas Page and A.J. Styles, who refers to the move as the Styles Clash. Styles performs the maneuver with a variation, as seen in the photos to the right: he does not hook the opponent's arms before performing the slam but takes two steps and moves his legs in front of the opponent's arms, enabling him to use his legs to cover the shoulders for a pin. Styles has also used this move from the second rope. This variant is later utilized by former WWE wrestler Michelle McCool, who referred to the move as the Faith Breaker. Cesaro uses a variation called the Neutralizer where he grapevines the opponent's leg with his arm similar to a cradle piledriver.

A version of this move also exists which is a Moonsault Styles Clash and was innovated and used by the late indy pro wrestler Brandon Kaplan, and was better known under the names Spyral (or Spiral) and BKNY, which he called the Panther Bomb. He used the move against his opponent against Mike Sydal in an Aerial Assault Match held at CZW Tangled Web 2 in 2009 in which one of the turnbuckle posts has a box mounted on top to allow a diving wrestler extra height for their moves. The initial setup for this move was complicated as it required Mike, while facing the ring, to be placed on top of the box in a sitting position. Brandon would then bend Mike forwards with a front facelock placing Mike's head between his legs, grabbing him around his midsection and then lifted him upside-down with them both facing in the same direction. Brandon then hooked both of Mike's arms his legs and performed a diving moonsault, planting Mike's body into the mat face-first. This move was extremely dangerous since Mike's arms were hooked with Brandon's legs and couldn't brace for the impact, he was knocked unconscious along with giving him a concussion as well as broken ribs, having one of wrist broken, and he had a seizure in the locker room post-match. All of this would put him out of action for 6-8 months. Mike could be heard yelling "No, don't do it!" when he made a last second decision that he didn't want to take the move but felt pressured throughout the process from Brandon, who many at the time felt was going into business for himself. This move was never used again afterwards.

Like a belly-to-back suplex, the attacking wrestler wraps their arms around the opponent in a waistlock, lifts the opponent in the air, and falls forward into a facebuster. Brooke Tessmacher used this as her finisher and called it the Tess-Shocker.

The opponent is lifted in sidewinder suplex position before being swung around and driven face first into the mat by the attacker.

This variation sees the wrestler grab a hold over the opponent's head/hair, then climb to the second rope or and finally jump from there dropping to their knees or in a sitout position and planting the opponent face first to the mat. In another variation the wrestler could just jump from the turnbuckle grabbing the opponent's head/hair in the air and planting them to the mat.

The wrestler bends their opponent forward, placing the opponent's head between the wrestler's legs, and then applies a double underhook on the opponent. The wrestler performs a kneeling or sitout facebuster. Andre the Giant is credited for inventing the move, but is perhaps better known as the Pedigree, the name Triple H gave to the kneeling version of the move as his finisher. Chyna later adopted the move from Triple H and began using it as a finisher. Another similar version of the Pedigree was used by Seth Rollins, where he would release his opponent during the fall, while a sitout version, known as the In Yo' Face, is the name Velvet Sky gave to the move as her finisher. CM Punk used an avalanche version called the Pepsi Plunge in the independent circuit before re-using the move in AEW and uses the move which can see him drop the opponent towards the mat while facing to or away from the turnbuckle. Chyna also used this version in her feud against Chris Jericho.
