AJ Styles Reveals Origin Of His Springboard Reverse DDT WWE star AJ Styles appeared on Insight With Chris Van Vliet, where he discussed a number of topics, including the origin of his springboard reverse DDT move. Styles said, “That’s something I got from Dragon Kid. Guys in my era of wrestling, we watched everything, everything. WCW, WWE, old school Japan, NOAH, All Japan, New Japan. While we were tape trading, I got one of Dragon Kid doing the backflip catch, and he puts you in the Dragon Sleeper, right? I go, ‘Well, I’m big fan of Sting. What if I flip catch right into the Scorpion Death Drop?’” On still not having a name for it: “That’s how that came up. Now, we still don’t have a name for it. I was like, ‘Hey, I’m gonna hit you with the backflip. Slop Drop.’ It doesn’t sound as cool, I know, but I think it was the Stylin’ DDT; maybe that’s what it was called.” You can check out the complete podcast in the video below.
