The match between Jax and Ripley saw Mama emerge as the crowd’s favorite. But the reactions in her favor grew massively at a very specific point in the match. During the match, Nia Jax tried to perform a Stinkface, a move that consisted of pushing the buttocks into the opponent’s face. However, the Judgment Day member reacted in time and reversed the roles. To the public’s surprise, Rhea Ripley landed that attack that superstars like Rikishi used in the past. This drew massive attention from fans in attendance, as well as social media. And replying to one clip featuring the move, Buddy Matthews made quite an NSFW tweet. He wrote, “Weekly occurence for me! (drooling emoji)”
