Rhea Ripley made a bold statement on Raw this week by crashing the Women’s World Championship contract signing. Without hesitation, Mami ambushed both Bianca Belair and Iyo Sky, forcing her way into the Women’s Title picture. Though her actions were far from legal, Ripley always played by her own rules. Following the show, The EST didn’t hold back, slamming Ripley for her underhanded tactics.

Taking to X, Belair took aim at Ripley, calling her out for illegally inserting herself into the WrestleMania title match. She criticized The Eradicator for being undeserving of the opportunity, noting that Ripley neither won the Elimination Chamber match nor held the championship. In Belair’s eyes, Mami’s actions were nothing more than childish attempts to get her own way.

You just need to be Rhea Ripley. Got it… …. That don’t sound crazy to yall?! I work hard, just to have to keep working harder 2x as hard…But I guess I’m just a lil hater. …slowly crashing out.

The former Women’s Champion has been fuming since this week’s Raw, frustrated by Ripley’s actions. However, Mami appears to be reveling in the chaos she created. Confident as ever, the 28-year-old firmly believes she deserves a spot in the Women’s World Title match at the Grandest Stage of Them All.

Furthermore, The Eradicator’s former rival, Liv Morgan, didn’t hold back either, taking a shot at Ripley amid the controversy. After losing her Women’s World Title to Sky a few weeks back on Raw, the 28-year-old has been on a downward spiral, doing whatever it takes to claw her way back to the top. It will be interesting to see how her path unfolds from here.

Iyo Sky reacts to the ongoing beef between Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley

Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley have been trolling each other online for weeks, but in the process, they’ve overlooked one key fact—Iyo Sky is the reigning Women’s World Champion and the centerpiece of the WrestleMania title match. Tired of being ignored, the Japanese superstar finally issued a warning to both Belair and Ripley.

Taking to X, Sky delivered a strong message to both Belair and Ripley. She firmly urged them to put their phones down and stop fixating on each other. The Women’s World Champion reminded them that she had already slapped both former champions on Raw last week. While she has no intention of doing it again, she warned that if their internet feud continues, she just might have to.

Moreover, the 34-year-old has grown increasingly frustrated with how Belair and Ripley have treated her. Since becoming Women’s World Champion, she has been pushed around by both juggernauts. However, with her bold message, Sky has once again reminded everyone that she deserves the respect she has worked so hard for.

Has Rhea Ripley turned heel following Monday Night Raw?

Rhea Ripley’s actions over the past few weeks have been highly questionable. She has repeatedly targeted Iyo Sky and Bianca Belair, both of whom are babyfaces. This has led fans to speculate whether Ripley is on the verge of a full-fledged heel turn in WWE. While it certainly seems that way, Mami has yet to fully embrace the role of a villain.

For now, Ripley appears to be operating as a tweener on Raw. Given the dynamics between her, Belair, and Sky—all of whom are established babyfaces—her shift adds an intriguing layer to the storyline. The 28-year-old’s newfound edge creates depth in the character dynamic, and with the momentum she’s building, WWE could eventually pull the trigger on a full-fledged heel turn.

Additionally, Ripley has excelled as a heel in the past, making a potential turn a strategic move for WWE to reignite her momentum heading into WrestleMania. Given her current character arc, she has every reason to embrace the dark side in her pursuit of reclaiming the Women’s World Title.
