Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley is currently one of the most dominant stars in WWE. She even defended her world title for the first time on a recent episode of RAW. Her title defense came against Natalya who attacked her before their match. During the match, she paid tribute to her partner Dominik Mysterio while also doing the remarkable gesture of Eddie Guerrero.

A moment came in the match when Rhea Ripley was standing by the ringside after she delivered a stomp on Natalya. There she hyped up the crowd by proudly stating this gesture to ‘Dirty Dom’. As she climbed up the top rope and did the iconic Guerrero gesture, she received a massive cheer from the crowd. She then pointed out ‘Dom Dom’ written on her face and went for a frog splash on the Queen of Harts.

Her hyped move was then failed by Natalya as she got her boots up during Ripley’s leap. Yet, she managed to win the matchup by applying the Riptide after successfully getting out of a powerful sharpshooter. ‘The Eradicator’ attacked Natalya after her victory to avenge her ambush before their matchup. Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez were the team who then stepped up to Natalya’s aid and made Ripley run away, having a number advantage.

Ripley’s run has been criticized by many with her fewer defenses for the prestigious title. Fans state that she is not giving justice to her momentous win at WrestleMania 39 after a fierce battle against Charlotte Flair. Ahead of five weeks before the Biggest Party of the Summer, her path is uncertain with no actual speculations for her title defense at SummerSlam.

Former Impact Wrestling star Jordynne Grace took to Twitter while addressing her sister about her relationship with Rhea Ripley.

This tweet caught the attention of Rhea and her response stated that she loved it.

The video shows Grace’s sister filming a video of how she is going bananas seeing her elder sister and Ripley following each other. The caption stated that her Gen Z sister who apparently knows nothing about wrestling only recognizes John Cena and Rhea Ripley. She also stated how famous Ripley is on TikTok.

Rhea replied to this tweet and sarcastically stated how she loves it. Her comment stated, “Hahahahaha!!! Love this ???” which then made Grace’s sister’s day. Jordynne’s sister’s amusement was seen again as Grace posted another video of her explaining the whole scenario to her friend.
