The Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley celebrated her 27th birthday this Wednesday. Many superstars sent greetings on her special day. Speaking of which, a top star in WWE also sent her warm wishes, but the star soon regretted doing so.

Zelina Vega recently went to her Instagram account to share a video of herself wishing Ripley. Vega called Ripley, and the latter picked up. After hearing a “Hello” from Ripley, she proceeded to greet the birthday girl and said, “feliz cumpleaños p*ta” which translates to “Happy birthday b*tch”
Ripley responded by saying, “Hahaha… Gracias” followed by a few profanities in Spanish. While it is unsure what ‘Mami’ said exactly, the looks on Vega and her husband Malakia Black‘s face were enough to paint the picture that Ripley used swear words.

Vega instantly regretted calling Ripley as she hurried to cut the call after the latter used swear words on camera. Perhaps Ripley had no idea Vega was recording at the time. The two stars share quite a history as they faced each other at Backlash earlier this year in May.
