A WWE SmackDown Superstar’s latest tweet targeting Rhea Ripley will not go down well with the Women’s World Champion. Bayley, who wore Ripley’s merch on the Friday night show, has now taken shots at her on Twitter.
The Role Model was in the commentary booth during WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Kayden Carter and Katana Chance’s title defense against Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn. At one point, Bayley called herself the “Mami Slayer” when asked about a potential WrestleMania match against the Judgment Day member.
Following SmackDown, the 34-year-old star took to Twitter to share a picture of herself wearing Ripley’s merch. She again called herself the “Mami Slayer” in the caption and added she was coming for the Women’s World Champion.
“Call me the Mami Slayer. I’m coming for you Rhea Ripley. #RoyalRumble #SmackDown RheaRipley_WWE,” tweeted Bayley.
