At WrestleMania 39, Rhea Ripley defeated Charlotte to become the new SmackDown Women’s Champion. Ripley has become one of the biggest stars in WWE and she has previously revealed that she is a fan of other WWE stars. In a 2019 interview with Revolver, Ripley revealed that she is a Miz fan, saying “that’s who I want to be”, citing Miz’s “cool comebacks”. In addition, during an Instagram Q&A in 2020, Ripley revealed that she bought Miz merchandise as a child, owned a cardboard cutout of Miz and threw a birthday party for him on his birthday.
