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.
It was on Twitter where fans who follow both soccer and wrestling came together to share their reactions. Below are some of the tweets from the fans.
Little we knew about CR7’s idol!!!
