"Fire her!" - WWE devalued popular star after recent brawl with Rhea Ripley, claims former employee (Exclusive)

WWE star Rhea Ripley made a surprise appearance on SmackDown this week. Veteran wrestling writer Vince Russo feels WWE devalued Raquel Rodriguez by having her brawl with Mami this week.

Raquel made her shocking return at Bad Blood. This week, Liv Morgan showed up on SmackDown flanked by Dominik Mysterio and Raquel Rodriguez. Rhea also appeared and started attacking Raquel. She then turned her attention to the Women's World Champion before Rodriguez dragged her out of the ring.

This week on BroDown Live, Russo recalled this week's events claiming that Liv should let go of Raquel. The former writer mentioned that barely a week ago Rodriguez was hired as a muscle for the Women's World Champion but now Mami was beating her up easily.

"Last Saturday, six days ago we see that Liv Morgan now has muscle. Six days later Rhea Ripley is kicking the muscle's b*tt." Russo continued, "Does that make any sense? If I'm Liv Morgan, fire her. She certainly didn't protect you? Fire her! She hires a bodyguard, not even a week end, Rhea Ripley is knocking the bodyguard around." [From 37:40 onwards]

Ripley is on a mission to destroy The Judgment Day and regain the Women's World Championship.

It will be interesting to see how Rhea exacts revenge on Liv and the rest of Judgment Day in the coming weeks.
