Rhea Ripley Reunites With Ex-Partner After WWE RAW
Rhea Ripley met up with ex-partner Damian Priest after WWE RAW this week.
The John Cena “Last Time Is Now” Tournament kicked off on Monday Night RAW this week. Priest competed in the first round of the tournament against Rusev. During the match, Priest showed resilience despite an injured eye, but ultimately lost to Rusev after taking a Machka Kick.
Later in the show, Rhea Ripley also had a segment where she made a dramatic return wearing a face mask. Charlotte Flair and Alexa Bliss put their WWE Women’s Tag Team Title on the line against the Kabuki Warriors in the main event. As the bout neared its end, the fans in the Boston arena saw Nia Jax and Lash Legend interfere and cause a distraction, which helped Asuka and Kairi Sane to capitalize and defeat Bliss and Flair to become the new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions.
After the bout, the heels attacked the babyfaces, and IYO SKY rushed in to even out the odds. A few moments later, the Eradicator showed up and cleared the ring. Rhea Ripley ended the segment, shouting, “WARGAMES!” declaring the beginning of the road to Survivor Series: WarGames.
Rhea Ripley Checks Up On Injured Damian Priest
Following the RAW, Rhea Ripley met up with her ex-Judgment Day partner, Damian Priest, backstage, where she was seen checking his injured eye. The Archer of Infamy shared a clip of their reunion on his Instagram account.
Priest’s eye injury occurred due to a fireball attack by Aleister Black, with Zelina Vega assisting. During a heated last man standing match on SmackDown, Vega distracted Priest, which allowed Black to throw a fireball into Priest’s face, specifically targeting his eye. This caused a serious burn to his left eye, leading to medical attention being required. Zelina Vega also exacerbated the injury by raking Priest’s burned eye following the attack.
