Rhea Ripley Responds To Online Criticism Over Her Use Of “Stink-Face” In Matches

During an interview with Ring The Belle, Rhea Ripley addressed online criticism of her using Rikishi’s infamous “Stink-Face” spot in matches at WWE live events.

“Shut up,” she bluntly responded. “Shut up. Honestly, like, it’s real funny because I get criticism for every single little thing that I do. But you see the men doing this and you’re like, yeah, that looks cool, amazing.”

She added, “Tiffany Stratton does this the other week and they’re like, oh my god, I love you, Tiffany. Oh my God, you’re so sexy, please do that to me. But when I do it, there’s a problem? Why? You’re just mad that I’m popular, that’s why.”
