Stephanie Vaquer says that she was hesitant to bring the Devil’s Kiss to WWE at first but that Booker T made her love the move again. Booker’s over the top reaction to the maneuver in NXT became a favorite for some fans, and something that he said he did in order to help get the move over.

Vaquer spoke about the move during her appearance on Insight With Chris Van Vliet. She said that she didn’t like the way people talked about the move but that Booker helped make people love it, and that in turn made her start to love doing it again. You can see highlights below:

On Her Double Devil’s Kiss With Rhea Ripley:

“That was so funny. She’s so nice. She asked me first, I have an idea. I’m like, yeah. She said, “It’s okay for you? She asked me. I say, of course, I mean, it’s an honor. And she said, can you show me how? And I say, Yeah, sure. She does it perfectly.”

On Bringing the Move To WWE:

“You know what? Before WWE, I did that move for a long time. But when I did that move before WWE, was 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, and 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 like no people can 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.”
