There's no denying that the mystique surrounding Bray Wyatt has been eroded over the years by a multitude of lacklustre feuds and absence of substantial push. One aspect of the character that remains impressive no matter the setting is Sister Abigail.

Named after Wyatt's mysterious, macabre storyline sibling, Sister Abigail is, at its core, a Swinging Reverse STO with some theatrics thrown in for good measure. It's easy to boil every move down to its base elements but to do so here would diminish the best thing Sister Abigail has going for it: Wyatt himself.

Adding a creepy, sadistic layer to the move, Wyatt has the ability to make even the most hulking superstar appear utterly helpless in his clutches. The move was originally popularized by former Motor City Machine Gun Alex Shelley during his days on the independent scene. Whilst Shelly's version was much faster and replaced by several, equally impressive finishers, Wyatt adopted the old Shellshock and truly made it his own.

Sister Abigail boasts the sudden impact of a DDT, the twisting, jerking motion of a devastating neck-breaker and the essential showmanship of a Tombstone Piledriver. It can be teased for effect or come out of nowhere with scary ease much like Wyatt himself.
