The focus of the world’s soccer fans along with WWE fans is on Cristiano Ronaldo. The 38-year-old who currently plays for the Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr FC recently used a sort of headlock on Al Hilal player Gustavo Cuéllar. After this, former WWE World Champion who recently called out Conor McGregor had a message for CR7 after the video went viral.

42-year-old WWE superstar Dolph Ziggler got impressed by CR7’s antics during the soccer game. He shared a message with Ronaldo that only the soccer star may understand.

As soon as Ronaldo’s antics in the match, attempting what looked like a headlock went viral, the internet erupted, tagging Ziggler on social media. Ronaldo’s move had quite a similarity to Ziggler’s famous WWE finisher known as ‘Zig-Zag’.

Hence, when the clip of the Portuguese soccer player got viral on the internet, ‘The Showoff’ replied on Twitter. He shared a gif image of him performing Zig-Zag on former WWE superstar Alberto Del Rio from a ladder.

It is not a new thing for soccer fans to see some unusual tackles on the field during a match. However, this tackle by Ronald on the soccer field is huge, because of its resemblance to the popular WWE move. Nevertheless, this move is suitable for performing in a WWE ring and not in a field, as CR7 got a yellow card from referee Michael Oliver.

Moreover, Al Nasser lost the game against Al Hilal, but we will remember this match for Ronaldo using a WWE move. Furthermore, Ziggler is on a ride as after calling out The Notorious One after the UFC-WWE merger.

Fans react to Ronaldo using Ziggler’s move on a soccer field

Zig-Zag is a famous move, and Ziggler has made a career out of it. In fact, The Showoff’s second World Heavyweight Championship victory came after a Zig-Zag that got a thunderous reaction from the crowd. Similarly, Ronaldo too got the same reaction, but that wasn’t on the field.
