Shawn Michaels Links His Iconic WWE Image to NFL Player Celebrations

In a thrilling week nine clash against the Green Bay Packers, Detroit Lions Wide Receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown amazed fans with a headstand celebration after scoring a touchdown, making it one of the standout moments of the NFL Sunday lineup.

His memorable celebration not only highlighted his athleticism but also drew the attention of WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels. Michaels took to social media to reminisce by sharing a photo of himself executing a headstand during his match with Sid Vicious at Survivor Series 1996. The similarity between the two headstands was amusing, leading Michaels to quip, “Been there before.”

St. Brown wasn’t alone in showcasing this unique celebration, as Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London also performed a headstand after scoring a touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys, adding to the day’s entertainment.

While headstands have become a rarity in WWE since Michaels’ iconic moment, the celebrations by St. Brown and London may inspire a WWE star to adopt this move in the future. As trends in sports and entertainment often intertwine, it wouldn’t be surprising to see someone follow in the footsteps of both these talented athletes and the legendary HBK.
