AJ Lee Reacts As Rhea Ripley & IYO SKY Go Viral For Awkward WWE RAW Moment
Rhea Ripley and IYO Sky had a moment on WWE Raw this past Monday that shocked many, but only until another camera angle was revealed. AJ Lee has reacted to the clip.
Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY have been a successful tag team since they joined forces in 2025, a while after their one-to-one feud ended. Dubbed RHIYO, they became the Women’s Tag Team Champions on the Netflix Anniversary episode of Raw in January this year. However, they lost the titles to the Irresistible Forces, Nia Jax and Lash Legend, before the Elimination Chamber PLE.
Ripley, who had qualified for the Chamber match, went on to win it and secure the #1 contender’s spot for the WWE Title. She announced that RHIYO was officially over and shared a bittersweet moment with SKY, who would continue alone on Raw while Rhea would go to SmackDown to feud with Jade Cargill for the Women’s Title.
At WrestleMania 42, after an intense feud that again had IYO SKY involved in the build-up and the match itself, Ripley defeated Cargill to become the new WWE Women’s Champion.
She then competed on the Raw after WrestleMania alongside SKY in a tag match against the Kabuki Warriors, who have beef with SKY. RHIYO won the match and officially parted ways this time in a segment later backstage.
However, in the immediate aftermath of the match, Ripley and SKY were seen showcasing their affection for each other in the ring, and an awkward moment was captured on camera, which went viral. WWE Star AJ Lee even commented on the clip on Instagram.
AJ Lee Comments On RHIYO Clip From Raw
After their win against the Kabuki Warriors, Ripley and SKY were celebrating in the ring, and from one camera angle, it looked like the two were kissing like lovers.
However, as the camera angle changed, it was revealed that Ripley was simply touching SKY’s face.
This love angle has been teased in jest by many stars, including WWE announcer Kathy Kelley, who always makes it amusingly dramatic that SKY stole her “girlfriend”, Rhea Ripley, from her.
AJ Lee was the latest to jump in and make a comment about it, where she said:
how you gonna fake me out like that?

AJ Lee was seemingly excited to see something happen between the two stars, but it wasn’t to be. Ripley and SKY have stated on multiple occasions that they are best friends.
The two have parted ways, however, as Ripley will now have to be a part of SmackDown as WWE Women’s Champion while IYO SKY continues on Raw.
