A Reddit user shared a gif image of this moment from the match. Asuka and Deville landed kicks on each other at the same time. But, the former WWE official received a hard kick to her face. 

Ripley and Niven quickly broke character and crawled toward Deville mid-match to check on her. Therefore, fans praised them both for this “wholesome” moment to check on their colleague. Ripley won the match and also the hearts of her fans.

“Saw that a lot in there especially from Rhea since she was in from the start and lasted a damn long time to say the least.”

‘That’s really cool. Always great to see how much wrestlers look out for each other.”

“I’m pretty sure she got busted open”

“She did, nasty ass cut on her IG.”

“It’s crazy that they can tell a real hit from a pulled one in the moment and all the chaos”

“Looking at the position Sonya when landed and Rhea/Piper’s view of her when she did so, it’s more likely they saw the blood straightaway and instinctively thought to check on her.”

“I noticed didn’t notice Rhea at the time but did notice Piper kind of dive and it made me worried that Sonya was even more hurt than she ended up being. Luckily it seems like it’ll be ok since she posted about it so quick”

“The speed that Piper dived across to check on Sonya alone has made me a bigger fan of hers.”

“Wholesome to see wrestlers look after each other”

Deville later shared a post on Instagram to show the scars she got from that kick. The Eradicator and Niven earned major respect from the fans for this gesture.
