12 WTF Moments From WWE SmackDown Live (Oct 25)
5. This Move...
Mauro Ranallo called it an STF. Nikki Bella said he was wrong. "Take a look again buddy," she said.
it's sort of like what John Cena has done on occasions, but he normally wraps his opponent's head in his forearms and doesn't hook the leg like Nikki is doing above. In that respect I suppose this is a WTF moment because not only did Mauro say that Nikki had an STF locked in, he, and David Otunga, also claimed that Bella was copying her man, John Cena.
I did some reading though and it appears this is a new move from the brain of Daniel Bryan. Yes, despite dating John Cena, Nikki went to Bryan for advice on wrestling. I suppose that's another WTF Moment then.
So this is a STF, but it isn't a John Cena STF. It's an STF that has been tweaked by Daniel Bryan, that's what I'm surmising from all of this which I'm sure you've followed from start to finish. Congratulations if you have read this far.
