Trash talk and combat sports usually go hand in hand, especially when it comes to pro wrestling. After all, the very gimmick of some wrestlers is how well they can insult their opponents. Be it John Cena’s rapping, Carlito’s apples, or Dwayne Johnson’s Rockspeak. But, while roasting is always welcome on WWE’s PG Era. Swearing? Not as much. But, Rhea Ripley didn’t seem to care about this.
The WWE Women’s Champion is known for carrying an air of defiance and lawlessness. Moreover, she’s also part of the rebellious heel faction, The Judgment Day. However, when Rhea Ripley said some choice words to Zelina Vega on social media, it resulted in a frenzy of several viral fan responses.

WWE Superstar Zelina Vega recently added a new post to her official Instagram account donning a new outfit that she had a photoshoot in. Multiple WWE Superstars like Naomi, Maxxine Dupri, and Karmen Petrovic appreciated the great looks of Vega. However, Rhea Ripley responded to the post with a rather unsavoury remark.
Commenting on Zelina Vega’s post, Rhea Ripley wrote, “F**k you h*e.” The words just remained there for several hours making everyone’s heads turn and eyes pop. However, the WWE Women’s Champion deleted her comment. But, the WWE Universe had already taken notice and the damage was done. A tweet on X posted the screenshot of the alleged comment.

Many wondered why Rhea Ripley chose to target Zelina Vega with these words. Mami is currently involved in a feud with WWE Superstar Nia Jax, but Vega is nowhere near her radar. Their last fight happened in May 2023 at Backlash where Ripley retained her WWE title against Vega.

So, what did Zelina Vega do to provoke Rhea Ripley? After all, Mami had also appreciated Vega for her appearance with the Puerto Rican flag. Interestingly, several people tried to put their theories together and tried to solve the mystery behind this sudden comment. In fact, several of them even said that one of WWE’s greatest eras was making a comeback.
Is Mami bringing the attitude era back to life?
The frenzy created by Mami has resulted in the springing up of several opinions from the WWE Universe. Many are even unable to decipher if this comment came from from the character Rhea Ripley or from the person Demi Bennett, if there even is a distinction.
Diving into their daydreams, one of the fans imagined this as the return of the attitude era.
LFG!!!!! We’re getting back to the attitude era days. Where shits crossing lines but we don’t know if it’s work or shoot. I’m here for it.
