Rhea Ripley teases major feud with recent ally
WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley has been involved in a deeply personal rivalry with Liv Morgan for several months. Although she is still looking to get her hands on The Judgment Day member, The Eradicator recently teased a feud with another popular star on the RAW roster.
On the latest edition of the red brand's show, the Women's World Champion teamed up with Raquel Rodriguez to face IYO SKY and Kairi Sane in a tag team match. The Judgment Day members dominated the proceedings and won the contest as Rodriguez hit Kairi Sane with the Tejana Bomb for the pinfall. The heels continued to attack the Damage CTRL members after the match.
It resulted in Rhea Ripley coming out to try to take out her arch-rival and help one of her WarGames teammates, IYO SKY. Things, however, did not go as planned for The Nightmare as Raquel shoved her into the announcers' desk, targeting her recently injured eye.
After the segment, Rhea Ripley and IYO SKY had a conversation backstage. The former Judgment Day member warned The Genius of the Sky, claiming she would be coming for the Women's World Title after dealing with Raquel Rodriguez, irrespective of who the champion would be. It must be noted that SKY is set to challenge Morgan for the title at Saturday Night's Main Event.
Current WWE champion wants to compete with Rhea Ripley
WWE Women's Tag Team Champion Bianca Belair has shared the ring with Rhea Ripley on multiple occasions. The two stars, however, have not been involved in a prolonged rivalry.
In an interview with Good Karma Wrestling, the EST of WWE pointed out that she has yet to have a major feud with Ripley, despite the two crossing paths on several occasions. She mentioned the similarities in their wrestling careers. Belair added she is looking forward to a main-event feud with The Aussie.
"Yes, definitely, I feel like we've worked a little bit. We've always come in close proximity, but we haven't had like that big match, definitely Rhea Ripley. I feel like we came in NXT together. I feel like we've been on the opposite sides of the mountain climbing together. Our journeys are kinda parallel. [...] I can't wait till we meet at that mountain top together and have that amazing feud and storyline," said Belair. [From 9:30 onwards]

Bianca Belair's tag team partner, Jade Cargill, was taken out by a mystery attacker in the parking lot a couple of weeks ago on SmackDown. It will be interesting to see what the wrestling promotion has in store for The EST amid The Storm's absence from WWE television.
