Above, you'll see a .GIF of Charlotte hitting 'Natural Selection' out of the corner from the top turnbuckle. That particular spot happened at Roadblock: End Of The Line in December 2016, and was one of the more memorable moments from her 'Iron Man' bout vs. Sasha Banks.

Here's the thing: Flair wanted to make that a permanent thing from day one.

In FCW, she'd argued that performing the snapmare from the corner would show off her athleticism, dazzle fans and impress everyone watching. Her trainers agreed that it'd be flashy, but they also pointed out that it'd be a bad bump to take every single night. There'd also be more margin for error.

Hitting the standard running snapmare into the ring would be safer and easier to perform. Besides, it hardly looked sh*te in comparison to the slow/clunky one out of the corner. Austin nodded his head in agreement with the trainers here.
