Major WWE star comforts an emotional Rhea Ripley as she gets nervous before her match at SummerSlam [Watch]
WWE SummerSlam was a huge night in Rhea Ripley's career as her face turn was cemented after Dominik Mysterio betrayed her to side with Liv Morgan. While Mami may had a stellar performance at the Biggest Party of the Summer, she was visibly nervous ahead of the bout and had to be comforted by none other than CM Punk!
The Eradicator has had a rough last few months as she had to relinquish the Women's World Championship due to an injury. She also faced a betrayal at the recently concluded premium live event as Dominik Mysterio cost her a chance to win back the title and helped Liv Morgan. Dirty Dom went on to kiss Morgan, leaving Mami heartbroken.
While Rhea Ripley was aware of the company's plans for her at SummerSlam, the former Women's World Champion was still pretty nervous before coming out to the ring. CM Punk, however, stepped up to the occasion as a veteran and comforted the female star. The heartwarming moment between the two was showcased in a SummerSlam vlog by WWE that covered the behind-the-scenes footage of the Best in the World's in-ring return.
CM Punk himself had a pretty big night at SummerSlam as he wrestled in his first singles match on WWE TV in over a decade. The Second City Saint, however, faced a defeat against Drew McIntyre.
Rhea Ripley was also emotional after her match at WWE SummerSlam
SummerSlam 2024 was a major turning point in Rhea Ripley's career as she turned face for the first time in over two years. Mami's on-screen relationship with Dominik Mysterio also came to an end and she was visibly emotional after the shocking turn of events. She also seemingly confirmed that she was crying for real after the end of her run with Dirty Dom.
Rhea Ripley was also ousted from the Judgment Day on RAW this past Monday along with Damian Priest. The newer version of the group consists of Finn Balor, Carlito, JD McDonagh, Liv Morgan, and Dominik Mysterio. The sides are now in a war with the Terror Twins majorly outnumbered.
