When Unrivaled, the new 3×3 WNBA spinoff league, announced its debut, fans were buzzing about one question: Would Caitlin Clark make an appearance? Spoiler alert: She’s not suiting up… yet. But while Clark chose the sidelines for now, her Indiana Fever teammate Lexie Hull decided to bring the entertainment to center stage.
Hull, currently lighting it up for Rose BC in the league, sent WNBA Twitter into a frenzy with a viral dance clip. The video shows Hull channeling her inner TikTok star alongside Natasha Cloud and other Unrivaled players, proving she’s got moves both on and off the court.
Fans Lose It Over Lexie Hull’s “Princess Energy”
In the clip, Hull’s carefree vibes shine as she gets tugged into the camera frame by Cloud, who might as well be crowned the unofficial hype woman of Unrivaled. The moment quickly became a goldmine for memes and fan reactions.
One netizen gushed, “I love Lexie. She’s just a princess living in her own magical world. So cute!” Another fan declared, “We live in Lexie’s world, and it’s glorious.”
Cloud’s antics also garnered their share of attention, with one user jokingly declaring, “Friendship ended with Sophie Cunningham. Natasha and Lexie are my new dream team.”
Hull’s playful performance even prompted a bit of wistfulness from Clark’s fans, who couldn’t help but speculate. “This is where @CaitlinClark22 should be. Smh,” lamented one regretful viewer.
Why Caitlin Clark Sat This One Out
Clark’s absence from Unrivaled has been a hot topic ever since the league’s co-founders, Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart, managed to recruit heavyweights like Sabrina Ionescu and Angel Reese. Fans, however, were left clutching their hearts when Clark declined the invitation to participate in the inaugural season.
In her December 2024 interview with TIME magazine—where she was named Athlete of the Year—Clark explained her decision.
“I didn’t rule out doing it in the future,” she told TIME. “But this year just isn’t the best for me. It’s going to be good for me to do my own thing and have my own space. I kind of want to just stay out of the spotlight.”
Translation? She’s been through two consecutive NCAA Finals, dragged the Indiana Fever to a playoff run, and probably needs a break before fans start asking for Caitlin Clark action figures.
While her loyal followers are still processing their grief, they’re clinging to the glimmer of hope from her “didn’t rule out” comment.
Unrivaled: Where Drama Meets Dancing
For now, Unrivaled seems perfectly capable of thriving without Clark’s star power. The league has managed to create a blend of competitiveness, entertainment, and let’s be honest—reality TV-level drama.
As for Lexie Hull, she’s made it clear she’s not just about basketball. Whether she’s dazzling with her mid-range jumper or stealing the show with impromptu dance-offs, Hull is carving out her own niche in the sports-entertainment ecosystem.
So while Caitlin Clark may be doing her best impression of a sports recluse, Unrivaled fans can rest easy knowing that Lexie Hull is here to keep things hilariously unpredictable.
Final Takeaway
Clark might be the reigning queen of the court, but right now, Lexie Hull is ruling the internet. Who needs a crown when you’ve got a viral dance clip and an entire fanbase dubbing you “Princess”?
Let’s hope Caitlin Clark’s FOMO kicks in soon—because this is one show she doesn’t want to miss.
