Nia Jax Vows to Seek Revenge on Leading WWE Star After Viral Incident

A fierce rivalry between Nia Jax and Rhea Ripley existed prior to WrestleMania 40 , and it culminated in the main event of the Elimination Chamber event in Perth, Australia. This feud produced viral moments that got the wrestling community talking in addition to high-profile battles. To the delight of the crowd, Ripley made headlines in March at a live event when she gave Jax a stink face. As the video went viral, Ripley gained prominence as the moment swiftly gained traction on the internet. Jax, on the other hand, found the incident less humorous. Jax has made it plain that she plans to exact revenge on Ripley for what she perceived to be obvious disrespect, even though their brands are different.



In an interview with Adrian Hernandez from , Jax expressed her frustration over the moment, emphasizing how disrespected she felt by Ripley’s actions. She made it clear that Ripley would eventually pay for what happened: "Rhea is always trying to steal the spotlight. She is always trying to one up me. She went out there and gave a full stink face to me, which I was offended. I can’t even believe that. Then Shayna was rude and tried to take it from me as well. I feel the disrespect. Rhea still has a stink face coming her way."

Currently, Jax holds the WWE Women’s Championship, a title she won after defeating Bayley at SummerSlam. Jax earned her opportunity to challenge for the championship by winning the prestigious Queen of the Ring tournament, further solidifying her position as one of WWE’s top female competitors. However, despite her current success, it’s clear that Jax hasn't forgotten about Ripley and promises that their story isn’t over yet.

Rhea Ripley Thinks Nia Jax Was Eager for That Viral Moment


During a WWE Live Show on March 24th, Rhea Ripley delivered a move on Nia Jax that quickly went viral. The move in question was none other than WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi’s signature Stinkface, which involved Ripley pressing her derriere onto Jax's face, a moment that captured the attention of fans.

Typically, the recipient of such a move would be an unwilling participant. However, in a recent interview, Ripley shared a surprising detail, revealing that Jax was not only willing but seemed to fully embrace the idea. According to Ripley, Jax "really wanted it."

Speaking with Chris Van Vliet, Ripley explained that before performing the move, Jax gave her a certain look that signaled her readiness to take the Stinkface.

"Kind of…I think Nia was pretty down for it, though. Nia really wanted that stink face deep down inside. She really, really wanted it [laughs], so I’m gonna say it was Nia’s idea. She gave me those eyes, you know?" Ripley’s lighthearted take on the situation adds a fun twist to what has now become a memorable and viral moment in WWE.
