A good heel must have the ability to engage in crowds. Drawing constant heat from the crowd in itself is not an easy task. And in that aspect, the notorious faction The Judgement Day certainly seems to do stellar work.

Particularly Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley stand away from the rest when it comes to villainous quality. The latter recently made a gesture to the crowd that had a connection to the evergreen DX and had the fans talking.

To say that Ripley has been a heat magnet in the recent past would be an understatement. Her antics draw the ire of the crowd at will, displaying the immense capability that she possesses.

‘Mami’ as she is called by Mysterio, is among the favorites to win the women’s Royal Rumble match. She recently made a “S**k It” gesture to one of the fans who was in attendance.

A brief history of the gesture

The gesture was made famous by a famous faction of Attitude Era’s DegenrationX. While the group has had many members, Triple H and Shawn Michaels were always at its forefront.

The King of Kings serves as the Chief Content Officer for WWE and HBK features as the Senior VP of Talent Development Creative. The current WWE superstar rolled back the years with a single sign made by her.

Ripley is one of the most talented wrestlers who ply their trade with the company. The current roster does portray a nice mix of youth and experience. Established superstars such as Becky Lynch and the current SmackDown women’s champion Charlotte Flair grace us with their presence.

It is not easy to leave an undeniable mark amidst such classy wrestlers, The Judgement Day member has certainly accomplished the same.

Fans react to the gesture made by Rhea Ripley

Fans were quick to notice the gesture, as WWE shared it on their Instagram handle. They did not take much time to provide their views on the same. Some even brought Dominik Mysterio into the mix in their comments.
