This week’s SmackDown witnessed a fiery confrontation between Tiffany Stratton and Rhea Ripley. The two champions stood face-to-face, acknowledging each other as the road to WrestleMania intensifies. Following this unexpected interaction, The Buff Barbie sent a two-word message to Mami, signaling the beginning of a potential alliance in WWE.
The WWE Women’s Champion took to Instagram to share a picture with Rhea Ripley from SmackDown. She affectionately dubbed their duo “Strapley,” adding a heartfelt emoji. The comment reflected the camaraderie the two champions showcased during their unexpected alliance on SmackDown.
Currently, Stratton and Ripley share common ground in WWE, as both are at odds with Nia Jax. Mami is set to defend her Women’s World Championship against The Irresistible Force at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Meanwhile, Jax is also targeting Stratton following the latter’s blindsided Money in the Bank cash-in.

Raquel Rodriguez addressed her rivalry with Rhea Ripley ahead of WrestleMania
Raquel Rodriguez and Rhea Ripley are two of the biggest rivals in the new generation of women’s wrestling. Their rivalry began in NXT, where they clashed over the NXT Women’s Championship. After transitioning to the main roster, their battles continued, this time over the Women’s World Championship. Recently, Rodriguez spoke about her ongoing feud with Mami as the road to WrestleMania heated up.
In an appearance on Casual Conversation with The Classic, Rodriguez described Ripley as her sister. She revealed that they share a strong bond in real life, which translates into their on-screen rivalry. According to Rodriguez, their feud will never truly end, as their dynamic mirrors that of siblings. While they may reconcile at times, they are bound to clash again before making up, just as sisters do.
Recently, Ripley was embroiled in a feud with Rodriguez’s best friend, Liv Morgan, over the past few months. However, it appears WWE has no immediate plans to reignite a rivalry between Ripley and Rodriguez. As the storyline progresses, it will be intriguing to see how their paths cross in the future.
