WWE Women’s World Champion, Rhea Ripley, recently defended her title at the WWE Payback premium live event.
On this occasion, she introduced a new ring attire, a tribute to the legendary WWE Hall of Famer, Chyna. This homage was not only a testament to Ripley’s respect for the legends of the sport but also a reflection of her own journey and aspirations in the wrestling world.
However, not all reactions to Ripley’s tribute were positive. A fan took to Twitter to voice their opinion, suggesting that Rhea would ‘never be’ the Ninth Wonder of the World, referring to Chyna’s iconic nickname.
Not one to back down, Ripley’s response was swift and scathing. She replied, “And me quote tweeting this will be the ONLY time you are relevant in your life, so enjoy it. It’s a tribute you d*mb bi*ch.” This bold retort showcases Ripley’s fierce nature, both inside and outside the ring.
