Victoria recently said in an interview that she took the idea for her Widow’s Peak from an NXT Superstar when he was just 16. She didn’t reveal the name of that NXT Superstar, but we know who she took that move from now.

During a January 2019 interview with Ring the Belle, Molly Holly and Victoria revealed the story about how the Widow’s Peak came about.

Molly Holly admitted that she used to watch indie tapes to steal wrestling moves. She took the move from Roderick Strong who she “wrestled in the backyard of a trailer park in Florida. He was 14, I was 18, or so.”

Holly said that Victoria needed a new finisher, and she had a great one to suggest. She also revealed that Vince McMahon was ringside speaking with people when she demonstrated the finisher. Vince McMahon reacted by going: “OH!” They knew that if McMahon reacted that way then Victoria had a good finisher.
