As Alicia Fox found out the hard way in their match on the May 8 NXT, Alexa Bliss had added a variation to a classic wrestling maneuver. The moonsault, on its own, is a high impact maneuver that can be hit from a number of different positions. Bliss added to it with a new element. Incorporating a handspring was nothing to it but landing knees-first across the chest of an opponent was. At least to NXT and WWE as a whole. The move looked absolutely devastating and drew "oohs" and "ahs" from the NXT Universe, which is one of the most vocal fan bases in the business. With a thin line between injury and success, it should be interesting to see how long she keeps the move in her arsenal.
