This a 68% setup and can - potentially - make your opponent waste meter on a wake-up attack..

The main tactic is hit-confirming D4 into an anti-air grab or teleport. The former is preferable against Kabal, although teleport is better for other opponents.

If the opponent does NOT do a wake-up attack, they're guaranteed to be pushed back onto the bomb. (D4 pushback)

If the opponent DOES do a wake-up attack, Cyrax's EX-AA grab negates it and places your enemy onto the bomb still. (Cyrax's body will physically block most opponents from moving forward.) If your opponent has a wake-up attack that makes them airborn, the AA grab will usually handle it (ie: works on Jax's wake-up elbow, NOT EX-elbow for example).

This setup, WITHOUT using meter, is also quite useful against many opponent's wake-up attacks, and still places them on the bomb. (This utterly destroys Scorpion, for example.)

This is NOT a universal setup, however it wrecks a lot of opponents' wake-up attacks. Very useful against MANY high-tier characters. I do not recommend using this against Kung Lao!
