“Thought She Really Died”: Rhea Ripley Fools Fans by Calling WWE Hall of Famer Dead

Heel WWE Superstars are known for their antics and villainous acts. Often these superstars are known for crossing the limits, gaining heat from the fans, and succeeding as a heel. Over the years, WWE has produced several top-heel superstars who have succeeded with their characters.

Superstars such as Randy Orton, Edge, Chris Jericho, and Eddie Guerrero are some of the top heel characters. They would often take extreme measures to gain heat from the fans and make their characters look more believable.

Once during a WWE Live Show, she interacted with a fan and untied their shoelaces. But, the most recent and strange act from her came during WWE Crown Jewel 2022. She appeared at the event, dressed like Beth Phoenix.

However, she took it a step further and took to Twitter to announce how she was paying homage to the late great Beth Phoenix. The same was even announced during the PPV, but the commentators did not take it well.

Even her post on Twitter was not received well, and fans took turns to discuss how distasteful it was.

Fans react to Rhea Ripley’s homage to Beth Phoenix

Rhea Ripley and Beth Phoenix have been involved in a heated rivalry ever since The Judgement Day turned against Edge. At Extreme Rules 2022, these two stalwarts even came face to face. However, when Phoenix was at Danger’s mouth, Edge had to quit. Nevertheless, she was still attacked.

Rhea Ripley took to Twitter to post her tribute to Phoenix. However, even though it was kayfabe, it was considered distasteful.

Both Rhea Ripley and Beth Phoenix are known for being key powerhouses. While Phoenix is way past her prime, she is still a legend. However, Ripley is still in her prime and on a hot streak of form. She is currently experiencing the time of her life with The Judgement Day.

However, fans are expecting a match between Ripley and Phoenix soon. Meanwhile many wonder if the match might take place at WrestleMania 39. Whatever it may be, the match would appeal to the fans because of the Superstar’s nature and charismatic ability. At Crown Jewel 2022, The Judgement Day defeated The O.C.
