Fans in attendance at WWE’s live event in Corpus Christi, Texas, were treated to a hilarious and unexpected moment when longtime rivals Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY joined forces to humiliate Nia Jax during a women’s tag team match.
The match saw Ripley and SKY team up to face Jax and the newly crowned Women’s World Champion Naomi. At one point during the bout, Ripley and SKY cornered Jax and delivered a synchronized “double stink face” to the powerhouse competitor. The crowd erupted, and fan-filmed footage of the moment quickly went viral on social media platforms.
While WWE’s non-televised live events have become more sporadic since the TKO merger, moments like this highlight why house shows remain a fan-favorite experience. With more room for improvisation, stars often showcase a lighter, more comedic side rarely seen on weekly TV.

Ripley and SKY would go on to secure the win over Jax and Naomi, further intensifying the already fiery build to SummerSlam.
The unlikely alliance between Ripley and SKY is particularly notable given that both women are set to challenge Naomi for the Women’s World Title in a Triple Threat Match at SummerSlam. Jax, who recently competed in the Evolution PLE battle royal, finds herself on the outside looking in, though her presence continues to stir tension in the division.
With just weeks to go until SummerSlam, this moment may have been comedic — but the stakes in the women’s title picture have never been higher. Click here for complete results.
