SUMMARY
- Rhea Ripley has recently been trending on the internet, as she used Rikishi's signature move at a recent live event.
- In a video that went viral, The Eradicator can be seen hitting the stinkface on The Irresistible Force, Nia Jax.
WWE Women’s World Champion, Rhea Ripley, is now arguably the biggest name in the women’s division of the company. Over the last year, The Eradicator has established an insane aura, and that’s why her fan following among the pro wrestling audience has also seen a rapid increase.
Due to the kind of support Mami enjoys, one of her recent live show appearances went viral, as she was seen hitting Nia Jax with Hall of Famer Rikishi’s signature move. But after the video from Saturday’s event in Springfield, got a lot of limelight, another clip from the match has grabbed the attention of the audience.
In a clip that is going viral on X, a 43-year-old WWE star can be seen begging Ripley to hit her with the “Stinkface” move. The female performer in question is none other than former MMA star Shayna Baszler, and she has become a hot topic of discussion after this incident.

It must be noted that even though Shayna begged to get hit by Ripley, it didn’t happen, as Nia then took out The Eradicator. Despite all this, Rhea was able to win the match, as she eventually pinned The Irresistible Force to retain her title at the recently held live show.
Rhea Ripley’s boyfriend had a cheeky response to her “stinkface” move
Mami has been getting a lot of limelight because of her usage of Rikishi’s iconic move, and her real-life partner has also reacted to it. Rhea Ripley’s boyfriend, Buddy Matthews, shared a cheeky response to her “stinkface” move through his official X handle on Sunday afternoon.

Sharing his reaction while responding to a clip from the live event, Buddy wrote, “Weekly occurence for me! [drooling face emoji].” This suggestive comment by the AEW star about extracurricular activities with his fiancée has led to a variety of opinions from the pro wrestling audience.
Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch will compete in a dream match at WrestleMania 40
Rhea’s recent emergence in the headlines has been due to her usage of Rikishi’s signature move, but it’s important to remember that she has a huge challenge to face at WrestleMania 2024. As Rhea Ripley and Becky Lynch are going to compete in a dream match at WrestleMania 40, it’ll be necessary for Mami to be fully prepared for it.
On the other hand, The Man will be looking forward to dethroning Ripley from her Women’s World Championship and regaining her spot at the top of the division. If Becky can somehow do so, it’ll help her once again become the face of Monday Night RAW’s women’s roster.

Amid the high stakes their match at this year’s WrestleMania has, it’ll be really interesting to see who comes out victorious from this highly-anticipated bout at The Showcase of the Immortals. Can The Judgment Day member continue her dominance at the top of the division? Or will Lynch end her dominant title-reign? Only the future knows the answer.
