If you’re in the know, you got a couple of nice Easter eggs on Raw on Monday night from Charlotte Flair.

During her match with Asuka, Charlotte went for a boot, then spun into a rapid back elbow for a near-fall. Moments later, she went for a moonsault, but Asuka moved, so Flair landed on her feet and went for a standing moonsault. That double moonsault, as Corey Graves put it, looked familiar.

Both moves were staples of former WWE wrestler Andrade, who is engaged to Charlotte. So basically, Flair tossed out a couple of callbacks to her fiancé mid-match. It was a cute little moment if you knew what was happening.
