Nikkita Lyons recently spoke about her viral pinfall and how she planned on giving it a name

Nikkita Lyons first caught the attention of the WWE Universe following her iconic split pinfall in her debut against Kayla Inlay.

During her interview with Ryan Satin on the Out of Character podcast, the 22-year-old said she had gone up to creative to name her pinfall style. The idea was shot down by the creative team and didn't seem too appropriate. Lyons said:

“Yes, I have. But I don’t know if I can say it out loud. I don’t know if I should. Because I pitched it, and they were like — they loved it, but then they asked the higher ups... and they were like, ‘probably not.’ So I’m actually in the process of trying to figure out something catchy, but also something people would love saying and something that could become a shirt. So I’m in that process.” (H/T: Cultaholic)

The NXT Superstar recently defeated Arianna Grace to advance in the Women's Breakout Tournament. It will be interesting to see if she can secure the title moving forward.
