Actually, no, for a skewer, the better piece is already in front. You move it out of the way, exposing the weaker one for capture.
If it was a skewer then Eva-Beato would have been in front in the first place, and then dodged the shot, leaving Belphe to take the hit. Which would have been kind of hilarious, but didn't happen.
