10 Wrestlers With Finishing Moves That Were Illegal

6. Bianca Belair - Braided Hair Whip

Very much splitting opinion when it comes to its frequently jaw-dropping execution on a WWE stage, it's not hard to see why Bianca Belair is quick to call upon her exceptionally long locks when sh*t begins to hit the fan in the thick of a particularly gruelling endeavour.

But with it not being 100% clear at this moment in time what said trademark braid consists of, opinion has often been split on whether or not this sickening hair slap can be classed as a straight-up illegal move the referee simply chooses to ignore for dramatic effect.

If the current Raw Women's Champion's braid is entirely made up of her own hair, then why shouldn't she be allowed to swing it around the ring with reckless abandon? Yet, if said braid is actually enhanced by extensions, then wouldn't that technically classify this harrowing hair as a foreign object and, by extension, illegal?

With Belair understandably keeping her cards close to her chest when it comes to the true nature of her eye-catching insurance policy, it's safe to assume WWE won't be in too much of a rush to over-analyse their top female babyface's body-breaking back-up braid any time soon.
