Former WWE Divas Champion and the wife of The Undertaker, Michelle McCool was once seen as one of the best female wrestlers in the company, which could be the reason why she was able to get away with using such a high octane move as her finisher- the Wings of Love- on WWE TV for so many years.

Wings of Love was just a variation of a facebuster which was later banned by WWE because the move was apparently too devastating for the women in the division at the time. It's a move that might be welcomed in the women's division at present, but in the era of Divas, this was a maneuver that seemed out of place.

The Wings of Love didn't actually injure any women, it was just considered to be too risky for the Divas Division and McCool was forced to find a replacement.

McCool went on to use her own variation of AJ Styles' Styles Clash until her retirement from the company back in 2011 and since Styles has joined the company, he has been able to continue to use the Styles clash throughout his WWE career.
