Rhea Ripley has become one of the company’s top wrestlers in the modern era. Stephanie McMahon has grown to admire her work, her look, and especially her entrance. As such, The Billion Dollar Princess even recreated Mami’s entrance at the Performance Center.
The Eradicator was the third guest on Stephanie McMahon‘s series Stephanie’s Places. The show features top stars like CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Triple H, and Roman Reigns as they discuss their wrestling journeys and more. In Ripley’s episode, McMahon surprised her by wearing her signature makeup.
They both came out to Rhea Ripley’s theme song and recreated her entrance at the Performance Center. On the show, the 27-year-old opened up about her early struggles in wrestling and how she once wanted to give up and go back home. However, she stayed strong, changed her mindset, and rose to become one of the top stars in the women’s division.

With WrestleMania just two weeks away, The Eradicator faces a major challenge. She’s set to take on Bianca Belair and Women’s World Champion IYO SKY in a triple threat match at WrestleMania 41. On the latest episode of Raw, things didn’t go her way, as Sky stood tall over both her and Belair after the contract signing. Only time will tell who will leave the Showcase of the Immortals as the Women’s World Champion.
Fans went wild over Stephanie McMahon reenacting of Rhea Ripley’s entrance on social media
The WWE Universe didn’t expect Stephanie to not only wear Ripley’s makeup but also recreate her entrance. While some fans loved it and called her cool, others had mixed opinions. Some even suggested that the two should team up, believing they’d make a great tag team that fans would enjoy.

One fan was highly impressed by The Billion Dollar Princess’s look and said she could really pull it off. Another fan boldly claimed that the two stars deserved the tag team titles. Some even saw a bit of WWE legend Lita in McMahon. Here are some of the top fan reactions:

One user even said she looked like Dominik Mysterio during the entrance. Another commented that Hunter was lucky to have someone like Stephanie in his life. Many fans wished for a face-off between McMahon and Ripley if the former could still wrestle. Others said The Billion Dollar Princess had more ‘aura’ than all the current female wrestlers.
Rhea Ripley revealed that Cody Rhodes got so mad when she beat him in the merchandise sales
Rhea Ripley and Cody Rhodes are two of WWE’s top stars today. It’s not surprising that they lead in merchandise sales, with Ripley sometimes even outselling The American Nightmare. The former Women’s World Champion recently shared his reaction after losing out in sales to her.

During her appearance on Stephanie’s Places, McMahon praised Ripley, noting her popularity after she topped the merchandise sales. When she mentioned that Ripley had even surpassed Rhodes, Ripley’s reaction was quite amusing. She shared that The American Nightmare was a bit frustrated at first but also showed admiration and praised her.
He gets so mad sometimes. He gets so mad sometimes. I get a message every now and then—he’ll be like, ‘You got me this week.’ I love it.

Both stars are set for high-profile matches at WrestleMania 41. While Ripley aims to win back the Women’s World Title, Rhodes faces his toughest challenge yet in John Cena as he defends his own Undisputed WWE Championship. It will be interesting to see if both Rhodes and Ripley manage to walk out of Las Vegas as champions.
