Kennedy Blades, a competitor on Team USA, performed a suplex that Kurt Angle would be proud of at this year’s Summer Olympics in Paris, France. During her recent match against Catalina Axente of Romania, Blades showed off an impressive wrestling move.
In the comments of the above video, one fan was impressed by Blades’ “diabolical German Suplex” and encouraged WWE to sign her to NXT. Another fan agreed that “she needs to go to WWE.” Blades won her quarterfinal match against Axente and has since made it to the finals. Later today, she will face Yuka Kagami of Japan in the finals.

Kennedy Blades hopes to add another medal to the U.S. team’s already impressive collection at the Summer Olympics in Paris. In wrestling, the U.S. team has already won two gold medals, one silver medal and three bronze medals. In the history of wrestling at the Olympic Games, the U.S. team has amassed 55 gold, 44 silver and 39 bronze medals, more than any other nation in the history of the Games.
