Rhea Ripley is undoubtedly one of the biggest Superstars in WWE and has established herself as a force to be reckoned with. She takes pleasure in inflicting pain on her opponents and her latest victim was Zelina Vega. After beating Vega at WWE Backlash, it appears that Ripley gloated about shutting up the Puerto Rican fans.

After winning the Smackdown Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 39, Rhea Ripley immediately began feuding with Zelina Vega as part of The Judgment Day’s feud with Latino World Order.

It culminated in a tremendous match at the WWE Backlash Premium Live Event, where Rhea Ripley put her Smackdown Women’s Championship on the line against Zelina Vega. Despite her best efforts and immense fan support, Vega was ultimately unable to defeat Ripley for the title.

Following the conclusion of the match, Rhea Ripley was interviewed backstage. The Eradicator made it clear that she felt amazing after shutting up the Puerto Rican after by defeating Zelina Vega.

“I don’t really care if the crowd was strongly behind Zelina. I don’t care about these people. They don’t mean anything to me, just like Zelina doesn’t. It felt amazing because they were behind Zelina Vega so much, and I shut them all up for good when Mami walked out the ‘SmackDown’ Women’s Champion still, and Zelina Vega was left in the ring like a little pretzel.”

We will have to wait and see what WWE will have planned for Rhea Ripley now that she has defeated Zelina Vega. As for Vega herself, she has firmly established herself as a beloved fan-favorite now.
