The entire WWE Universe is familiar Rhea Ripley’s obsession with laying hands on the male wrestlers on the roster. At first, fans went berserk, watching her beat up male superstars and standing firm against them. But with time, the repetition of this segment has bored people. Now familiar storyline beats have started to annoy the fandom. Proof of this was recently seen when fans didn’t appreciate Ripley interfering in a match between her Latino Heat and a Mexican wrestler. 

This wasn’t the first time when fans were left with frustration after The Eradicator’s involvement in a match. However, these recurring reactions from the audience aren’t a good sign for her. But being the heel she is, Ripley never gives up a chance of showing it in the ring. Her heel nature combined with her love for Dominik Mysterio makes her fight his share of battle. But this time, fans didn’t seem to enjoy it at all.

During the fight, there was a moment when both the WWE stars ran the ropes leading to a double headbutt, or at least that was the idea. However, the 25-year-old had brass knuckles, Rhea Ripley decided to pull Escobar out of the ring. She then hit the male wrestler, with a Riptide slam on the floor. After this, Dominik went up top and hit a Frog Splash off the top for the pinfall win after nine minutes.

The match might be ended with Mysterio’s victory, but the frustrated fans clearly had a boring time while watching it.
