A top AEW star suddenly pulled a move out of Mike Tyson's playbook for their match tonight at WrestleDream.

Willow Nightingale brought the fight to Mariah May during their match for the AEW Women's World Championship. Tonight was a rematch of the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Finals a few months ago, as May looked to make it a second straight win for herself.

This was a high-action contest right from the get-go, and it seemed like it could go either way. At one point in the match, The Glamour had Willow in her grasp, and she took advantage of her being laid out on the mat and began to strike her with shots to the forehead.

Mariah May began to gloat and tried to caress Willow Nightingale's head, but the latter took the chance to pull her close and bite at her ear, in a move resembling that of Tyson's infamous move. She did so for a good five seconds, and Nigel McGuinness couldn't help but comment that she was doing her best Mike Tyson impression.

This was an interesting spot, to say the least, but this was only one of the many incredible moments this match showcased. Both women went at it in the ring tonight.
