Charlotte Flair could easily have been dismissed as the sort of person who got to the top of WWE because of her lineage. However, Flair consistently proves that her 'Genetically Superior' label is more than just a t-shirt slogan and delivers the most consistently impressive matches in the women's division.

This is never more true than when she scales the heights of the top turnbuckle to deliver a jaw-dropping twisting moonsault to the floor. It's one of the most athletic aerial spots performed by anyone in the WWE, which is remarkable considering the calibre of high-flyers currently working in the cruiserweight division.

Flair wisely saves the move for her biggest pay-per-view matches, including the fantastic fatal four-way elimination match against Sasha Banks, Bayley and Nia Jax at last year's WrestleMania. It's a spot of extraordinary risk and equally extraordinary physical ability that is reserved for the biggest stages and the brightest lights.

The move is a rare treat and, therefore, fans always react accordingly, going wild when the Queen of WWE ascends to the top rope. In a fitting evocation of one of her other catchphrases, she always does it with flair.
