A WWE SmackDown performer had a humorous response to a comment from another superstar.

Wrestling fans who follow WWE superstars on social media tend to know which wrestlers get along very well with eachother behind the scenes.

Rhea Ripley is one of the more popular WWE superstars and has many close friends in the company. One of her closest friends is backstage interviewer Cathy Kelley, who likes to playfully joke about her crush on Ripley.

The tag team of Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky are WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions who can appear on any brand at any time defending their titles. In a recent interview, Sky

“I think she’s jealous of me, maybe, because she wants to jump on Rhea too. I just want to say, ‘Sorry, Cathy.'”

In response to that, Kelley wrote on X/Twitter that she got moved to SmackDown against her will.

i get moved to Smackdown and away from @RheaRipley_WWE against my will and THIS HAPPENS???!!!!!! 😤@Iyo_SkyWWE

It’s a reminder that everything in WWE and on social media isn’t supposed to be taken seriously, after all.
