5 Movie scenes where WWE Superstars used their finishers

#4 Charlotte Flair executes a Figure 8 in Psych

Charlotte Flair recently made her return to WWE TV after a hiatus that lasted around six months. She is a 12-time WWE Women's Champion and currently holds the Women's Tag Team gold alongside Asuka on RAW. Flair has popularized the Figure 8 finisher over the past five years during her WWE main roster stint, and it has helped her bag some of the biggest wins of her career.

Charlotte Flair appeared as Heather Rockrear in the 2017 movie named Psych, which was a made-for-TV comedy flick. At one point during the movie, Flair can be seen beating the tar out of two men in a room. She doesn't stop here though, and hits a Disarm-Her on one of the men, as he screams in agony. Fans might remember that this move is Becky Lynch's finisher in WWE. Flair then goes over to the next guy and executes her own finisher, the Figure 8, on him. Check out the clip embedded above to see Charlotte hitting both moves on the men.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
