Rhea Ripley comments on potential alliance with Jey Uso ahead of WWE SummerSlam

WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley just commented on a potential alliance with fellow RAW star, Jey Uso ahead of SummerSlam. The Eradicator will challenge for the Women's World Championship at the premium live event.

WWE has teased a potential partnership between Rhea Ripley and Jey Uso since the latter joined the RAW roster last year in September. The former Bloodline member recently asked The Judgment Day member to join him at Waffle House amid growing tension between the latter and Dominik Mysterio. "Dirty" Dom, however, harshly rejected Liv Morgan and reconciled with Ripley the following week.

Rhea Ripley made an appearance on the WWE SummerSlam Kickoff show alongside fellow stablemates, the World Heavyweight Champion, Damian Priest, and Dominik Mysterio. While talking about her rivalry with Morgan, Ripley accused the 30-year-old of trying to manipulate group members, including Mysterio. As the crowd started booing after hearing his name, the former Women's World Champion said she loved Dominik.

"The thing is, she said she wanted to take everything away from me. But she dug a little deeper, and she went the dirty route, and she decided to try to manipulate my family, my Latino Heat, my Dirty Dom, my Dominik Mysterio. You guys [crowd] can boo him all you want, but the fact is I love my Dirty Dom," she said.

As Ripley mentioned she loves Dominik Mysterio, the crowd started chanting "Yeet," to which the former Mami responded by saying that the former Bloodline member was "alright," too.

"I guess he's alright, too. But, whatever," she said.

Former WWE employee believes Rhea Ripley might lose the championship match at SummerSlam

Rhea Ripley will lock horns with Liv Morgan in a title match at SummerSlam, which also happens to be her first bout following her return from injury. Former WWE assistant producer, Tommy Carlucci stated the tension within The Judgment Day might cost The Nightmare at the upcoming premium live event.

On the Behind the Turnbuckle podcast, Carlucci pointed out that the ongoing storyline could have several outcomes. He speculated that Finn Balor could be the one conspiring with Morgan. However, he did not turn away from the possibility of Dominik Mysterio's actions resulting in Ripley losing the match.

"They can go a million ways with this, right? I mean, they can go that Finn has been behind it with Liv and she's been with Finn the whole time just to drive Judgment Day nuts. Now they have Rhea coming back and it could be like a sc*ewed up swerve by Dom, not meaning to let Rhea not win at SummerSlam. Or you're right, or it could be Finn Balor doing something. Like, they're wide open on this Judgment Day," he said. [From 17:24 to 17:47]

Considering recent events, there is a huge possibility of Dominik's actions deciding the outcome of the match this Saturday. It remains to be seen if Rhea Ripley will win back the title she never lost at WWE SummerSlam in Cleveland, Ohio.
