Rhea Ripley’s tweet to Austin Theory
Upon seeing the tweet, Rhea Ripley noticed the placement of Austin Theory’s figure in the promotional image and couldn’t help but comment on the way it appeared to be looking at her figure. She replied with a tweet asking Theory, “What you looking at _theory1…”?
Ripley’s previous interaction with Theory
Back in 2021, during a WWE live event, Austin Theory had teamed up with Damian Priest – ultimately losing a tag team match to AJ Styles and Finn Balor. Theory shared a photo from the event where an unamused Rhea Ripley was seen shouting at him. This picture quickly gained traction on social media, with Theory asking Ripley why she was yelling at him. In response, Ripley called him “stupid.”
Current success of Ripley and Theory
Both Rhea Ripley and Austin Theory have been successful on the main roster, demonstrated by their recent victories at WrestleMania. Ripley outplayed Charlotte Flair in one of the most notable women’s matches, winning the SmackDown Women’s title. Meanwhile, Theory successfully defended his United States title in a singles match against WWE legend John Cena.
