3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 5

Summary

  • Chelsea Green and Tiffany Stratton copied Sophie Cunningham’s viral finger-pointing gesture during a six-woman tag match on Friday Night SmackDown in Atlantic City.
  • The taunt echoed Cunningham’s June 22 point at Phoenix Mercury forward DeWanna Bonner, a moment that drew a technical foul in Indiana’s 86-77 win and then spread widely online.
  • Green leaned into the crossover on X, writing, “When @WWE meets @WNBA,” though Jade Cargill, Michin and B-Fab went on to beat Flair, Stratton and Green.
  • Cunningham said Friday that “every company” has posted the meme, including the White House, and called the technical for the gesture “the weakest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”
