Dwayne Johnson’s recent return might have left a great impact on the WWE universe, but it is also true that some other superstars in that same building were able to overwhelm the 51-year-old.

After Samantha Irvin, Dwayne Johnson was impressed to the core by world champion, Rhea Ripley. Well, this is evident from his recent post, where he shared his backstage interaction with ‘Mami’.

Dwayne Johnson called Rhea Ripley a ‘bada**’. But this is said to praise the ‘Eradicator’. Following his return on Day 1 and then hinting at a feud against Roman Reigns, The Rock met Rhea Ripley backstage. He shared the interaction on Instagram and wrote this: “I love black.
She’s a bad a**. And I got famous for wearing a fanny pack. We had fun f**king around backstage”

Further heaping praise for the starlet, he wrote, “Love, appreciate and respect you champ @rhearipley_wwe – thanks for trusting me with your title, keep kickin’ a** and raising the bar”

It was a typical Dwayne Johnson-style tweet in which he conveyed his happiness for Ripley. If the Hollywood star aims to make his presence known in the WWE for a while, the in-ring interaction between Judgment Day and The Great One would be an interesting prospect to look at. But did you know? Ripley was not the first one to gather praise from Johnson.

The Rock was drawn to Irvin when she exhibited her extreme happiness upon his return.  Johnson then complimented her response and even commended her mic skills in a gripping caption that he had written for her. Interestingly, similar to Ripley, he also called Irvin a  “Bada**”. No one should be surprised to see that, as the world is aware of his humility.
