Tiffany Stratton's move confirmed to be a nod to a highly-respected AEW star

The worlds of AEW and WWE often overlap in various ways. Fans regularly notice wrestlers borrowing each other's finishing moves, and now SmackDown Superstar Tiffany Stratton has revealed that one of her signature moves is a nod to an AEW star.

Stratton uses the Prettiest Moonsault Ever to put away her opponents. The 24-year-old took out Naomi and Bayley with the move this past Friday on SmackDown after she and Naomi battled in a #1 Contender's match until it ended in a No Contest. Christopher Daniels executes the Best Moonsault Ever. AEW's in-ring performer and Head of Talent Relations has used the move to win numerous titles in various promotions throughout his 31-year career.

The Buff Barbie pays tribute to The Fallen Angel every time she hits her finisher. Speaking to Chris Van Vliet on the latest Insight podcast, Stratton was asked if her PME is a nod to Daniels' BME:

"It is, and I feel like I had to add some sort of Tiffy-Twist onto it. So, I mean... I'm pretty, and it's pretty -- the moonsault is pretty -- so, why not call it the Prettiest Moonsault Ever?" Tiffany Stratton said.

AJ Styles recently praised Stratton with a post that went viral due to how he used Daniels' finisher name. This was especially interesting as WWE's Phenomenal One and AEW's Almighty have been friends for years, and have wrestled each other dozens of times.
