Flair Infringing GFW Champ’s Gimmick?
Perhaps coincidentally during WWE Monday Night RAW, Global Force Wrestling’s (GFW) United Knockouts Champion Sienna called out SmackDown Live superstar Charlotte Flair over gimmick infringement. Sienna, who also uses her real name Allysin Kay in other independent wrestling promotions, wrote she initially ignored the makeup and feather usage from Charlotte but the last straw seemed to be the pinky gesture.
“I ignored the feathers & the makeup, but the pinky? Really? If you need anything else from me, let me know.”

Sienna’s tweet attracted attention and responses from fans who acknowledged Sienna isn’t the first to wear feathers into the ring, with some people highlighting Chyna, Melina, and even Fandango for the feather entrances. The pinky gesture does seem baffling since Charlotte and Becky Lynch’s “pinky” gesture is actually the tea-drinking hand gesture whenever they hear or say something shady – such as when SmackDown Women’s Champion Naomi asked Lana when was the last time the Ravishing Russian ever won a match.
By Tuesday morning, Charlotte may have indirectly responded to Sienna with an image of her father, Ric Flair, wearing an array of colors.

Sienna isn’t oblivious and tweeted Charlotte to appropriately tag her if the tweet was indeed a direct response to the United GFW Knockouts Champion.
If this is a response you need to @ me, sis. Or is that not part of your script? @MsCharlotteWWE https://t.co/OkQd6UEOQp
