Jey Uso teases rehashing WWE romance with Rhea Ripley ahead of RAW move
Jey Uso teased rehashing his romance with Rhea Ripley on WWE RAW. Main Event Jey was the victim of a backstage attack by Drew McIntyre earlier this month.
Rhea Ripley and Jey Uso had a brief romance earlier this year, but the storyline never went anywhere. Ripley took a selfie in front of a billboard with Uso's face on it and wrote "YEET" earlier today. Uso has now reacted with the eyes emoji on his Instagram story, and you can check out his response by clicking here.
Ripley confronted Liv Morgan following her victory over IYO SKY at Saturday Night's Main Event and the two stars had a staredown. The Eradicator revealed during this past Monday's edition of RAW that she was the number one contender for Morgan's Women's World Championship. The two stars will be squaring off for the title on RAW's debut episode on Netflix next month.
Drew McIntyre returned from his hiatus and attacked Jey Uso and Sami Zayn on the December 2 episode of the red brand. The Scottish Warrior also attacked Jimmy Uso last week on SmackDown and defeated Sami Zayn in a singles match at Saturday Night's Main Event.
Bill Apter praises WWE RAW star Rhea Ripley
Legendary wrestling journalist Bill Apter recently praised Rhea Ripley and claimed that she had become one of the biggest stars in the wrestling business.
Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine show, Apter stated that Ripley changed the tide in WWE's women's division. The veteran added that fans expect to see the 28-year-old when they come to the shows, and she has become a household name.
"To me Rhea Ripley changed the tide, the riptide there. Rhea Ripley redefined the female end of WWE and I would say there are a lot of other women in there that did incredible, including Teddy's pick Nia Jax. Liv Morgan also, way up there, and so many of them... Rhea is, people expect to see her. She became a household face in the pro-wrestling business in 2024." [From 8:55 onwards]
