After executing Rikishi’s famed move, The Stinkface, on her adversary Nia Jax during a recent triple-threat match in Springfield, Illinois, WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley took to Instagram to share a light-hearted message directed at Jax.
In her post, Ripley humorously captioned a clip of the maneuver with,
“Payback’s a Peach… You’re welcome Nia 😈.”
Meanwhile, as the WrestleMania XL approaches, Bayley, the victor of the 2024 Women’s Royal Rumble match, solidified her position as a formidable contender by challenging IYO SKY for the WWE Women’s Championship.
In an interview with Alex McCarthy of Daily Mail Sports, Bayley responded to Ripley’s suggestion that her bout against Becky Lynch should headline the event.
Acknowledging Ripley and Lynch’s contributions to the sport, Bayley emphasized Ripley’s youth and potential for future main event opportunities. However, Bayley asserted that this year belonged to her and IYO SKY, confidently stating,
“This year is mine and IYO’s year… I’ve been fighting for this for a long time.”
