#3 Sienna accused Charlotte Flair of using her gimmick in WWE

Sienna implied in a since-deleted tweet in 2017 that WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair had stolen various aspects of her character. Like Flair, Sienna also uses feathers during her ring entrance and wears eye makeup as part of her on-screen persona.

The former Impact Knockouts Champion said she ignored Flair’s use of feathers and makeup in the past. However, she felt The Queen went too far when she started using a similar “pinky” hand gesture to her:

“I ignored the feathers & the makeup, but the pinky? Really? If you need anything else from me, let me know. @MsCharlotteWWE #PinkiesUp,” Sienna tweeted.

Charlotte Flair’s WWE gimmick is largely based on her father, two-time WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair. Since 2014, the WrestleMania 35 main-eventer has copied many of Ric’s mannerisms and moves.

Indirectly responding to Sienna, Charlotte Flair tweeted a picture of her father being billed as “Wrestling’s Peacock” earlier in his career. As the tweet above shows, the 16-time World Champion wore many robes that Charlotte went on to replicate when she became a WWE Superstar.
