[PHOTO] 42-year-old male WWE personality defends surprising reaction to "scary" Rhea Ripley

Rhea Ripley is widely regarded as one of the most dominant WWE Superstars on the roster today across the women's and men's divisions. She received a hilarious reaction from presenter Byron Saxton who later justified his response on social media.

Rhea Ripley put her Women's World Championship on the line against Natalya at the latest Live event in Ottawa, Ontario, this past weekend and successfully defended her gold. The Judgment Day member briefly interacted with Saxton inside the ring, leaving the latter traumatized.

A fan captured the moment when Byron Saxton stretched himself against the turnbuckle to avoid being close to Rhea Ripley, who was staring at the presenter with a menacing smile. The fan in question shared the picture on social media asking why Saxton found Ripley "scary" when The Eradicator "seems nice."

Byron Saxton reshared the post putting seems nice under quotes to mock the description, and added "SMH" to his response. He justified his fear while standing across from Rhea Ripley, echoing the sentiment of several fans.
