A complete blackout on social media mentions
But here’s what they couldn’t stop:

The 47,000 fan-recorded clips circulating on Telegram
-
The NSFW memes flooding wrestling forums
-
The trending hashtag #RheaLeaked that survived WWE’s censorship
FANS VS. WWE: THE GREAT DEBATE
Team “It’s Just Physics!” argues:
-
“Wrestling gear fails sometimes – remember Mickie James in 2006?”
-
“Male wrestlers have worse wardrobe malfunctions weekly!”
Team “This Was Avoidable!” counters:
-
“Why was she in such flimsy gear for a power move?”
-
“WWE’s costume department needs overhauling!”
(Shocking Revelation: Insiders claim Rhea had complained about this exact gear issue weeks prior!)
THE AFTERMATH: RHEA’S REVENGE
Rather than hide in shame, Ripley turned the incident into fuel:
-
Next RAW appearance came out in bomb-proof reinforced gear
-
Added a new crotch-chop taunt directed at critics
-
Reportedly demanded (and got) a 27% raise for “emotional damages”
WWE’s Silent Changes:
-
New “wardrobe stress tests” implemented
-
Female wrestlers now get final approval on all gear
-
Camera operators retrained on “discretion shots”
COULD THIS BE GOOD FOR BUSINESS?
Let’s face facts:
✔️ Merch sales spiked 300% that week
✔️ The match got 4.7 million YouTube views (3x average)
✔️ Rhea’s social media gained 412K new followers
(Industry Insider Note: “Controversy creates cash – Vince’s old motto still holds true!”)
WHAT’S NEXT FOR WWE’S WOMEN?
This incident sparked major changes:
-
New Gear Guidelines: More coverage, less chance of exposure
-
Female-Led Production: Women now oversee all women’s match filming
-
The “Rhea Clause”: Talent can veto any camera angle they deem inappropriate
FINAL VERDICT: ACCIDENT OR ATTENTION?
While WWE officially calls this an “unfortunate accident,” some backstage whispers suggest:
-
The gear was deliberately modified for “more movement”
-
Producers knew the risks but greenlit it anyway
-
Rhea herself may have planned the controversy
One thing’s certain: This moment will live in WWE infamy forever.
