WWE: Rhea Ripley reacts after defeating 2-time UFC champion Conor McGregor

Former Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley recently dropped her reaction to defeating former UFC Champion Conor McGregor. UFC and WWE are now part of the same parent company, TKO Group and we have frequently seen, since the merger, stars of both companies making guest appearances at each other's important shows.

Rhea Ripley is presently one of the top WWE Superstars and her fan base has grown massively in the past few years. Conor McGregor is widely regarded as the Hulk Hogan or Ric Flair of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Recently, a post went viral on X/Twitter which showcased clips of Mami and Mystic Mac doing a grip strength test. Surprisingly, Ripley got a higher score on the machine than the 155-pound king. According to the post, McGregor’s grip strength was 123.0 lbs. (55.8 kg approximately), while The Eradicator’s score was 125.8 lbs. (57.1 kg approximately).

The 27-year-old has reacted to her defeating Conor McGregor in a grip strength test. She quoted the X post and dropped a winking emoji.

Rhea Ripley adds stipulation to Liv Morgan's match at Bad Blood 2024

During the latest episode of Monday Night Raw, we saw Rhea Ripley dropping a bombshell announcement on Dirty Dominik and Liv Morgan. She revealed that, with the help of RAW General Manager, Adam Pearce, she had added a stipulation to her title contest against the Women’s World Champion at Bad Blood 2024.

The 27-year-old said Dirty Dom was the biggest reason for her losing the championship match at WWE SummerSlam 2024 against Morgan. In the special stipulation at Bad Blood, the former North American Champion will be suspended above the ring inside a shark cage.

It will be interesting to see if Ripley regains her WWE Women’s World Championship next month at WWE Bad Blood 2024.
