When one talks about the top wrestlers of WWE at present, one cannot miss naming the wrestling promotion’s undisputed world champion, Roman Reigns, and the 2023 Women’s Royal Rumble winner, Rhea Ripley. Along with other celebrated names, they are currently the superstars for whom fans’ hearts skip a beat. 

It is no secret that Ripley’s fan base is escalating with each passing moment. With her wins and top-notch performances, she is winning everyone’s hearts despite being a heel. However, The Eradicator has always been hungry for validation and acknowledgment, especially from The Tribal Chief. This craving of hers once made her take a shot at Reigns after standing toe-to-toe with Solo Sikoa in the ring. Now, again, The Nightmare seems to be in need of some affirmation from the male superstar.

In one of her Instagram stories from a few hours back, fans saw her putting her efforts into drawing attention. In the story, one can see two screenshots of the TikTok accounts of both Ripley and The Powerhouse. But, that’s not it, the important thing to notice in the picture is the number of followers that the two superstars have.

Both of them have a sizable fan base on different social media platforms that are growing with each passing minute. However, to everyone’s surprise, the screenshot that the Judgement Day member shared showed her followers to be 427.1k while The Big Dog had 424.4k. 

This makes it evident that the former RAW Women’s champion surpassed The Bloodline leader in the followers count. Therefore, she didn’t miss the chance to steal The Enforcer’s catchphrase and use it against him. In the story, she also wrote, “Acknowledge me,” along with a GIF that reflected how she is flaunting her number of followers. 

The interesting element here would be to see fans reacting to the action of Ripley as they did previously. 

Fans demand a completely new competitor for the undisputed title

Dominik Mysterio’s Mami took a similar dig where she just wrote the catchphrase of the six-time world champion on Twitter. To this, fans went crazy and started showing their immense support for her.

Not only did they react in favor of her, but some of them even demanded a booking of the 37-year-old with the Australian wrestler for the undisputed title. It doesn’t seem to be likely, but fans’ enthusiasm for it makes it more interesting.
