Rhea Ripley reacts after Chelsea Green calls her “queen”

Chelsea Green’s victory at Saturday Night’s Main Event, where she defeated Michin to become the inaugural Women’s United States Champion, drew congratulations from Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley during a backstage interaction.

Green acknowledged the moment by referring to Ripley as “queen” on social media. The Eradicator responded with her own message of support:

Proud Mami.

The historic championship victory marks a significant milestone for Green, with WWE yet to announce her first challenger for the newly established title.

Zelina Vega seeks acknowledgment from Rhea Ripley

While Green celebrates her championship victory, another competitor has directed attention toward the Women’s World Champion. Zelina Vega took to social media to address Ripley directly, responding to Pop Base’s X post celebrating “National Short Girl Day” featuring singer Sabrina Carpenter.

Vega’s message to her former rival was direct:

YEAH, RECOGNIZE ME @RHEARIPLEY_WWE. With everything I deserve.

This interaction recalls their previous encounter at Backlash 2023 in Puerto Rico, where Vega challenged unsuccessfully for Ripley’s SmackDown Women’s Championship.
