It may be every woman for herself at the upcoming SummerSlam PLE, but Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY were on the same page at a recent WWE live event.
Nia Jax and the new Women’s World Champion, Naomi, teamed up at WWE’s SuperShow at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas, on July 19. Their opponents were Naomi’s challengers at SummerSlam, Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY.
After The Glow stole the title with a Money in the Bank cash-in at Evolution 2, she has the unenviable task of defending her belt in a Triple Threat Match in two weeks. Last night in Corpus Christi, Ripley and SKY utterly embarrassed Naomi’s tag partner and real-life family member, Jax.
Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY Hit a Double Stink Face on Former WWE Women’s Champion Nia Jax
After gaining momentum over The Irresistible Force and the Women’s World Champion and riling up the fans in Corpus Christi, Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY added insult to injury before scoring the pinfall victory.
As seen in a viral spot from last night, The Eradicator hit the stink face on Jax first, after which she signaled to SKY to follow suit. The Japanese star obliged, hitting her own version of the move.
While Ripley is known for using this move on occasion, SKY’s spot was so unique that it evoked a similar loud reaction from the fans present.
You can check out the viral spot in the video below:
The Irresistible Force lost the WWE Women’s Championship in January to Tiffany Stratton, who has managed to stay on top of the food chain ever since. It remains to be seen if the former titleholder finds her way back to title contention.
As for Naomi, her Women’s World Championship win has made her a RAW Superstar by default. Will she retain her title come SummerSlam? Only time will tell.
