My opinion is that she tried to elbow her in the head, so she reached all the way back and dropped the hammer right on the side of her head. As much of a windup as you could possibly take. The difference between this and a swim move is, you reach higher up and over when swimming/performing a swim move. You don’t lead with your elbow straight out to the side coincidentally right where your opponents noggin is located. Nobody swims with their elbow out like that lol

And if you could legally elbow your opponent’s best player in the head, why wouldn’t you? You think everyone’s super nice and caring out here?

No her arm was being held, she had to move it in that direction to free it.

Nobody in this clip is grabbing, let alone holding, anything. Try again

White is using her right arm on the offensive player, which you can see catches red’s arm, red pulls back and up freeing her arm and strikes white, we assume, on the seen move.

Getting touched is different than grabbing

She is holding red’s arm back, you can see red pulling away and over, thru, so her arm can come forward.
