Rhea Ripley doesn't miss—and she just proved it again with a one-line clapback that's got the internet melting down.
After a WWE live event where Ripley playfully smacked her own backside with a kendo stick to fire up the crowd, Zoey Stark wasn't impressed. Stark posted a video of the moment, blurring Ripley's rear and adding the caption: "Example #1 what's wrong with women in today's society." It was a direct shot at Ripley's in-ring style—and fans immediately knew drama was brewing.
But Ripley didn't waste any time firing back. Just an hour later, the Women's World Champion took to Twitter and delivered a brutal response: "Kiss my juicy ass, Zoey." No filters. No fluff. Just pure Rhea.
This isn't the first time Ripley's ringside antics have stirred controversy. She previously delivered a stinkface to Nia Jax at a different house show, drawing similar heat. At the time, she clapped back at critics who claimed she was crossing lines, pointing out the double standard when male wrestlers do the same things for laughs and cheers.
Ripley's unapologetic edge is exactly what fans love about her—and it's also what keeps her in the crosshairs of critics like Stark. Whether she's dropping bodies in the ring or one-liners online, Rhea Ripley stays in full control of her narrative.
