Stephanie Vaquer has been making noise in WWE ever since she signed, but now the NXT double champ has officially named the jaw-dropping move that’s had fans talking for months—and it’s got the kind of name you’d expect from someone dominating two divisions at once.

While speaking on the No Contest Wrestling podcast, Vaquer finally revealed what her signature triangle head slam is called, and let’s just say it sounds as brutal as it looks: “Matt Bloom, my coach, calls it The Devil’s Kiss. I love this name,” Vaquer said.

She explained that she never had a name for the move because it was so unorthodox. “Many people ask me about it, and honestly, I didn’t have a name for my move because it’s a bit unusual. I try to mix different styles. For example, my finisher is a combination of various moves, and I always try to create something new in wrestling.”

The move itself—a violent slam that looks like a hybrid between a triangle choke and a driver—has gone viral thanks to its originality and intensity. Fans have flooded social media asking what it’s called, but Vaquer had kept quiet until now.

She also admitted that she once saw Charlotte Flair do something that looked somewhat similar, but emphasized that her version is very different. “People would ask me what the move was called, and I’d say I didn’t know because I had never seen anything like it before. But now I know because I saw a video of Charlotte. I really didn’t know before, but I think there’s a big difference. Like I said, it’s different—yeah, very different. It’s not the same. It might be similar, but it’s not the same.”

Now that “The Devil’s Kiss” is officially part of her arsenal, it’s already becoming one of the most talked-about finishers in NXT. Booker T’s over-the-top reactions on commentary every time she hits the move only add to the moment—and fans are eating it up.

As the reigning NXT Women’s Champion and NXT Women’s North American Champion, Vaquer has plenty of spotlight, and if this move is any indication, she’s only getting started.
