Rhea Ripley’s Next Title Challenger Confirmed
Rhea Ripley was on the attack on Raw but now she finds herself with a tough challenge to deal with in her future.
Rhea Ripley was in a fighting mood on Monday Night Raw as she took out Raquel Rodriguez in vicious fashion. Ripley had previously attacked Rodriguez’s tag team partner Liv Morgan, taking her out of action with a suspected shoulder injury.
On Raw in Houston, Texas, Rhea Ripley and The Judgment Day took the ring as the Women’s World Champion gloated about the group sending both Liv Morgan and Kevin Owens to rehab with injuries. Raquel Rodriguez didn’t want to waste time with words as she stormed into the ring attacking the champion.
A distraction from Dirty Dominik Mysterio, however, allowed Ripley to chop block Rodriguez and attack her knee leading to officials running to the scene to try and stop her.
