Well, well, well, ain’t it somethin’ when them big names from the wrestling world start talkin’ ’bout each other? I reckon most folks know Rhea Ripley, the WWE Women’s World Champion, and that big fella Rikishi, the one who used to shake up the ring with them big moves and that famous Stinkface. Now, what got folks all riled up lately is how Rhea Ripley’s been showin’ respect to ol’ Rikishi and his legacy in the ring. Let me tell ya, it’s more than just talk, it’s a whole lotta action goin’ on!
So, it all started when Rhea Ripley done herself a favor and pulled off a move that Rikishi’s famous for, that there Stinkface, at a WWE live event back on March 23rd. I don’t know if you’ve seen it, but let me tell ya, the crowd went wild! Rhea ain’t shy, she stepped up and gave it a try, and boy, she did it good! Now, ain’t nobody forgettin’ that moment anytime soon, that’s for sure. She went viral, just like Rikishi used to when he got in the ring with them big ol’ moves of his.
Now, you might be wonderin’, what’s the connection between Rhea Ripley and Rikishi? Well, I reckon it’s all about respect. Y’see, both of ‘em come from the same kind of wrestling roots, part of the same Samoan wrestling family tree. Rikishi, he’s the proud father of the Usos, Jey and Jimmy, and he’s kin to all sorts of other wrestlers too. Rhea Ripley, though she’s from Australia, she’s been in the business long enough to know a thing or two ’bout respectin’ your elders and those that paved the way before ya.
And speaking of Jey Uso, he’s been havin’ himself quite a year. He done went and won the WWE Intercontinental Championship over on Monday Night RAW. Ain’t that somethin’! Now, both Rikishi and Rhea Ripley gave their shoutouts to Jey on social media, congratulatin’ him for his big win. It’s nice to see them all supportin’ each other like family, even though they’re spread all over the wrestling world. It don’t matter if it’s through the screen or in person, they got each other’s backs.
Rhea Ripley ain’t just a wrestler, though. She’s a force to be reckoned with, just like Rikishi was in his day. She’s been all over, fightin’ hard, and puttin’ in the work to make her mark. And don’t you forget, she’s married to Buddy Mathews from AEW, so she ain’t lettin’ up on the competition anytime soon. There’s a lotta folks talkin’ ‘bout them both, and let me tell ya, it ain’t just ’cause of their wrestling skills—it’s their hearts, their dedication, and how they lift up the people around ‘em. That’s what makes them stand out.
- Rhea Ripley ain’t just about her moves, it’s the respect she shows for the past generations.
- Rikishi’s legacy lives on through the Usos, and now even Rhea’s takin’ up that same kind of respect in the ring.
- Family’s important in the wrestling world, and Rhea’s got a whole lotta respect for them that came before her.
So, what’s the takeaway from all this? Well, I’d say that in the world of wrestling, respect goes a long way. Rhea Ripley and Rikishi, though they come from different times and places, share a bond of respect for what the other’s done. And now, as the new generation carries the torch, it’s clear that these wrestlers aren’t just fightin’ for glory, they’re fightin’ to honor the past and build up the future.
So, next time you see Rhea Ripley in the ring, just remember—she ain’t just about her own greatness, but about respectin’ the ones who came before her. And if you ever catch a glimpse of that Stinkface, you’ll know where she got the idea from! A big shoutout to Rikishi for the inspiration, and a big congratulations to Jey Uso, too, for his big win. Ain’t no family like wrestling family!
