Mick Foley is a huge supporter of a faction that claims that they run WWE Raw.
A major part of the Monday night show, The Judgment Day have been very successful in WWE in the past 12 months. Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley have all found championship success with Priest having the additional bonus of winning the Money in the Bank briefcase.
Despite the group being adamant that there is no leader, the fans have clearly picked the star of the group. While Mysterio gets booed out of the building each week, Ripley remains a fan favourite amongst the WWE Universe as “Mami!” chants ring out through arenas every Monday night.
Another notable fan of the Women’s World Champion is The Hardcore Legend. Speaking on The Bump, Foley recalled a segment involving Ripley and how it reignited his passion for wrestling:
“I was just tuning in to a pull-apart with Nia Jax and Rhea Ripley and I heard 15,000 people chanting, ‘Mami!'” Foley said. “I was like, ‘Now I remember why I love this stuff.’ It’s just great.”
Foley continued, stating how he didn’t predict Ripley would ascend to this level of superstardom and has become one of the defining stars of her era:
“I’ve been a real big proponent,” he said. “As high as I had hoped for her, I could’ve never seen this coming. This is one of the great characters of the modern generation.”
Ending his admiration, Foley stated how he is a big fan of the group’s dynamic as a whole:
“I just love it. They bring me happiness.”
