WWE star Rhea Ripley has admitted she ‘knows her fans’ after one supported forked out hundreds for a piece of paper she licked.

The Women’s World Champion was taking part in a livestream autograph auction before Survivor Series: WarGames on Saturday night and was putting her signature down when she took things a step further.

The autograph already featured her cheeky slogan ‘Mama is always on top’, but that wasn’t enough for Rhea who added ‘I licked here’ on the sheet of paper.

To the shock of livestream hosts Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods and Tyler Breeze, she actually licked the piece of paper in that exact spot, as the top bid quickly rose from $230 (£183.50).

In the end, it sold for $580 (£460), showing that everything has a price – even a hint of Rhea’s saliva.

‘I know my fans,’ the Judgment Day leader said as she shared photos of herself licking the paper and the autograph itself. ‘You’re welcome 😈’

‘$580 + cloning costs 🧐,’ joked one fan, while another quipped: ‘Literally disgusting bro… (How do I get one?)’

‘The stuff these people do 🤣,’ someone else laughed, while yet another teased: ‘Rhea please we’ve never been so jealous of a piece of paper.’

And a different fan took a chance, asking: ‘Hey rhea, my birthday is in two weeks can u give me an early birthday present and send me a signed and licked autograph? I would really appreciate it tbh ‼️ 😊 (sic)’

The autograph signing and licking came hours before Rhea defended her Women’s World Championship against Zoey Stark at Survivor Series WarGames.

Rhea is used to sending her fans absolutely feral, and she previously admitted she loves to be a ‘menace’ wherever possible.

Speaking exclusively to Metro.co.uk about her antics and the reaction online, she laughed: ‘Oh I’ve seen! Being a menace is the one thing I really enjoy doing, so I’m loving every second of it picking on everyone.’

She added: ‘I relish in it, I really do. I enjoy every second – especially knowing how worked up everyone’s gonna be about it. That just drives me to being more of a menace in a way! But yeah, I love what I do, I am enjoying it!’
