Who's rattling in the background?

I agree that it's a Namibian... aka infuscatus.
Although infuscatus and cowlesi were combined so both are now cowlesi.

Maybe if it gets in the eye of the opponent, they might leg go?

That tail-stabbing behavior seems unusual from an evolutionary standpoint. Any theories?

Aspidelaps lubricus cowlesi is the Angolan Coral Cobra, this is infuscatus, the Western Coral Cobra.

@elapidkeeper30 According to John Marias' book 'A complete guide to the snakes of Southern Africa', cowlesii has a pale brown head, while infuscatus has a black head. We do not know the geographic origin of this snake, so we can only go by the markings.
