"Rain entered the ring to a pre-recorded tape of her shouting, 'Scream for me, NXT! Lizzy Rain is bringing heavy metal tonight!' This iconic call energized the crowd."
"Rain explained the origin of her finisher, saying, 'I wanted to do a Shining Wizard, but a lot of people do Shining Wizards. We thought, 'Oh, what about a pop-up one?'"
"'We were like, 'This is the sickest finish ever, we need to do this.' The name comes from the leg looking a little bit like a thunderbolt, and you know, AC/DC 'Thunderstruck.'"
Lizzy Rain, niece of late Iron Maiden drummer Clive Burr, made her WWE NXT debut, winning against Nikkita Lyons. She entered the ring with a call reminiscent of Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson. Rain's finisher, named Thunderstruck, was inspired by AC/DC and developed with her coach. The move is a variation of the Shining Wizard, aiming to stand out in wrestling. Iron Maiden and AC/DC are both set to tour North America soon.
