I love this body slam moment by Rhea Ripley. She's a beast and such as a badass. It's incredible how she body slammed a near 300 pound man with ease. Also, why is WWE afraid of doing intergender matches nowadays? Impact Wrestling does it so why not WWE and AEW? twitter.com/USA_Network/st…
YES PAPI!!!! WHY IS THIS WOMAN NOT A CHAMPION???? twitter.com/USA_Network/st…
Rhea could beat Roman. twitter.com/usa_network/st…
I think it's clear that the solution to the problem is not a woman, it's time for Randy to work twitter.com/WWE/status/158…
This is the highlight of the show this week and it’s not even close #WWERaw twitter.com/wwe/status/158…

Vince Russo slammed Rhea Ripley's spot on WWE RAW
While Rhea Ripley's amazing display of strength may have been the talking point of the wrestling world, it did not sit well with Vince Russo.
The former WWE head writer stated on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW that Ripley slamming the male star only earned her cheers from the crowd, contrary to what a heel should be doing.
"Rhea Ripley slamming Luke Gallows, that's a babyface move. For a woman to bodyslam a guy, that's not heat. People are gonna cheer that. That's not heat," said Vince Russo.
You can check out the entire edition of Legion of RAW below:
The Eradicator has proved to be the deciding factor in the ongoing feud between The Judgment Day and The O.C. She also helped Dominik secure a victory over AJ Styles last week.
However, Gallows assured Styles and Anderson that he's got a solution to the problem in a backstage segment.
The segment seemed to hint that The O.C. could be recruiting a female wrestler to even the odds with The Judgment Day. The two factions will square off in a six-man tag team match at the WWE Crown Jewel Premium Live Event on November 5.
