Rhea Ripley recently engaged in a lighthearted exchange with fellow WWE Superstar Zelina Vega on social media, showcasing their close bond beyond the ring.
The camaraderie between Ripley and Vega extends back to their SmackDown Women’s Championship match at the Backlash Premium Live Event in Puerto Rico last year.
Their playful banter on Instagram commenced with Ripley affectionately teasing Vega, expressing mock disdain for her “stupid abs.” Vega responded in kind, playfully jesting about Ripley’s “big a**” and “stupid pretty face,” along with affectionately dubbing her a “bum a** MFer.”
Subsequently, Vega continued the friendly ribbing on Twitter, directing good-natured jibes not only at Ripley but also at Bayley, further exemplifying the amicable rapport shared between the Superstars.
Haha I hit both @RheaRipley_WWE and @itsBayleyWWE with those.. it’s probably still imprinted on their bums. https://t.co/lv7OdKGAxx

As for their future endeavors, it remains to be seen what lies ahead for Vega and Ripley within the WWE landscape.
Reflecting on their previous encounter at WWE Backlash, Ripley recounted the passionate reception Vega received from the Puerto Rican audience.
Despite initially garnering a positive response herself, Ripley observed a palpable shift in the crowd’s energy as Vega made her entrance, with fans fervently rallying behind her.
Ripley expressed empathy for Vega’s emotional response, acknowledging the significance of the moment for her and the deeply personal connection she shares with her fans.
While Ripley emerged victorious over Vega to retain her SmackDown Women’s Championship nine months ago, she continues to reign as Women’s World Champion, set to defend her title against Nia Jax at Elimination Chamber: Perth.
