Rhea Ripley has confronted her recent rival in a non-televised appearance.

Rhea Ripley won the Elimination Chamber match this year and went on to WrestleMania 42 to defeat Jade Cargill and dethrone her to become the new WWE Women’s Champion.

Her first defense will come against Cargill in a rematch at Clash in Italy this Sunday, May 31st.

But before that, WWE’s European tour kicked off on May 28th, and at a show in Liverpool, England, The Eradicator was in tag team action alongside United States Champion Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair against Fatal Influence. Ripley’s team picked up the win.

After the bout, Ripley faced one of the cameras and confronted Jade Cargill directly, taunting her for not being at work, and said she hopes the Storm is getting ready for their match at Clash in Italy. She said she would go on to beat Cargill and make it 2-0 between them.

Jade, where are you? See me, the champion, I’m at work. Where are you?

I hope you’re getting ready for Clash In Italy, because I am about to beat you, two nil, bitch!

Rhea Ripley Was Pinned By Jade Cargill Recently

Ripley recently faced Cargill in a six-woman tag team match with Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss on her side, taking on Cargill and her cronies B-Fab and Michin at Saturday Night’s Main Event last weekend.

Cargill managed to hit Ripley with her Jaded finisher and pinned the champion, giving her the advantage over the Eradicator going into their upcoming bout.

It would make sense for Rhea Ripley to retain the title going into SummerSlam later this year, but a shock win from Cargill isn’t too far off either, with the Storm hellbent on getting her revenge.

The two women had put on a stellar show at WrestleMania 42, and their upcoming rematch is an equally anticipated one.
