Stephanie Vaquer Says She Didn’t Want To Do The Devil’s Kiss In NXT, Booker T Made Her Love The Move Again

The Devil’s Kiss has become one of the most popular in WWE, thanks in part to Booker T “ahing” every time Stephanie Vaquer slams her opponent’s head into the mat.

Booker’s commentary on NXT caught on with the crowds, and now they “ah” along with every slam.

Speaking to Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Stephanie Vaquer revealed she initially didn’t want to do the move when she joined NXT.

“You know what? Before WWE, I did that move for a long time. When I did that move before WWE, was a little different than now. When I sign with WWE, I think, Okay, I want to stop doing that move for many reasons. I think sometimes people take that move different ways, and I don’t like that. In NXT one day, we were training, and I showed that move, and the coach is saying, ‘No, that’s good, people know that move and people like that move.’ I’m thinking yeah, but I don’t know why I don’t like it anymore. I don’t want to do that move because I hate what people say, it’s just because that move, and people can’t sometimes understand that move, and I’m gonna start to do it again. I feel good because Booker T make that move so people love this move, so I’m starting to love this move again, because Booker T make me feel like that.”
