WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley decided to take a page out of Nia Jax’s book and hit the popular ‘Stinkface’ move during a recent WWE Live Event.
‘The Eradicator’ has managed to garner a massive fan following with her in-ring prowess and gimmick. She is quite active on social media and her posts are always appreciated by fans.
Sometimes the admiration could go to an extreme extent. One example is a recent incident where a fan made efforts to aquire Rhea Ripley’s chewing gum. Now, a new viral video has got the fans appreciating The Mami all over again.

‘The Stinkface’
The comedic move was part of WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi’s arsenal during the late 90s and early 2000s. The move humiliated his opponents and became quite popular. Hitting the maneuver, he displayed his humorous side.
The move often labeled gross, requires the opponent to be in a seated position in the corner, and the person hitting the move would turn their back and rub their backside on the opponent’s face, humiliating them in the process. Over the years several stars have adopted the moves and it continues to remain an entertaining spot for the fans.
Most recently, on last week’s Raw, Nia Jax hit the move on Becky Lynch during their Last Woman Standing match. The match was ultimately won by ‘The Man.’
We are officially on the Road to WrestleMania 40 and at ‘The Show of Shows,’ Rhea Ripley will defend her title against the 2024 Women’s Royal Rumble match winner Becky Lynch.
