Major star declared "real tribal leader" of WWE over Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa by wrestling legend
A WWE Hall of Famer recently named a surprising name as the "real tribal leader" of the Stamford-based promotion over Solo Sikoa and Roman Reigns. Mick Foley firmly believes Rhea Ripley deserved the honor over the two male stars.
The Eradicator is arguably the biggest draw in WWE's women's division right now. Her stint as a member of Judgment Day and subsequent babyface run on RAW has won her legions of fans, including those from within the business. One such name is the legendary Mick Foley, who recently sang her praises in an interview.
In a chat with MuscleManMalcolm, Foley was asked to name the "real tribal leader" of WWE between Solo Sikoa and Roman Reigns. However, the 59-year-old legend went in a completely different direction, saying he was "Mami's boy." Mick Foley added that Ripley, not Sikoa or Reigns, was the "real tribal leader."
"[Laughs] I’m a Mami's boy, alright? When it comes to factions, I want the old Judgment Day back, okay? Carlito, it’s not on you, but that’s not my Judgment Day. The real tribal leader in WWE always has been, always will be, and still is Mami. [Asked if it’s Roman Reigns or Solo Sikoa]. No, no," said Mick Foley. (H/T Fightful Wrestling)
Rhea Ripley was in action on this week's WWE RAW
After securing the pinfall over Women's World Champion Liv Morgan during the Women's WarGames match at Survivor Series 2024, Ripley was in action against her Judgment Day stablemate, Raquel Rodriguez on RAW.
The 28-year-old star emerged victorious in the Anything Goes Match that saw Morgan and Iyo Sky getting involved in the closing stages of the bout. With her win on the Monday Night Show, Rhea Ripley has further asserted her claim at getting a shot at Liv Morgan's title. However, before that, Morgan will put her gold on the line against Sky at Saturday Night's Main Event on December 15.
It remains to be seen how things fare for Ripley and if she's able to get back the Women's World Title that was in her possession until April this year.
