"Well, I mean, it was my idea to stink face. It wasn't my idea for her to get them freaking cheeks out. So obviously, that's what I do. I do the stink face, and as a heel, I like to rub it in, literally. I just thought we were on the live event. I thought one night, let's change this up."
Following the Jax-Ripley viral moment, the duo advanced it further by involving former NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler. "Why not? Because it was a cool Triple Threat moment, me, her, and Shayna, and I was like, 'Why don't you give me a stink face?' She's like, really? She was like, 'You mean like Rikishi style?' I was like, 'Yeah, do the full Rikishi. Get it, get it!' And then we did it. And obviously, like, the crowd went nuts, and then it was a viral moment, and yeah, and then we had a good time," Jax added.
"We actually switched it a couple nights because everybody was expecting it, and I was trying to be a dick about it. Then I did it to Shayna, where Shayna was like, 'Let me have it.' She closed her eyes, and then I freaking took out Rhea, and then she didn't realize it was me. It was funny. It was a good time."
Nia Jax is currently involved in a tag-team with Lash Legend on SmackDown, while Ripley is the current women's tag team champion with IYO Sky.
