10 Ideas WWE Blatantly Stole From THEMSELVES

1. Rhea Ripley Is ‘Mamacita'

It's important to note there are clear differences in presentation between Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio compared to Chyna and Eddie Guerrero. The latter pairing was clearly portrayed as a comedic bit, whereas the Judgment Day members have some other stuff going on.

In short, they're having a wonderful time trolling everyone.

Rhea's, "I'm Your Mami" t-shirt is a direct lift from Guerrero's, "I'm Your Papi" merchandise. Also, the way Dom calls Ripley "Mami" is similar to Eddie calling Chyna his "Mamacita" back in 2000. It's rather obvious that WWE is having a right blast teasing that Rhea and Dominik are this generation's Chyna and Eddie.

Why not? It's getting a reaction from audiences, and is also fleshing both characters out successfully. Do not be surprised if WWE continues paying homage to the past by going further with this comparison. They might as well!
