The daughter of the 16-time world champion, Ric Flair, has always delivered both inside and outside WWE. Though her matches are usually well-paced, sometimes even a great wrestler like Flair can make errors inside the squared circle. On the latest episode of SmackDown, Charlotte Flair competed against Iyo Sky in a highly competitive matchup. Flair picked up the victory after hitting the Natural Selection.
However, in a video shared by Twitter user, despite the efforts of the wrestlers, fans trolled a particular spot and spoke about it on social media.
After Sky landed a hurricanrana, Flair was supposed to flip onto the mat seamlessly outside the ring. But the timing was off and that resulted in an awkward-looking sequence.
