WATCH: Becky Lynch savagely mocks Rhea Ripley on WWE Raw, calls her a ‘main-event side piece’

On this week’s Raw, Becky Lynch highlighted what every Rhea Ripley fan has been complaining about since WrestleMania. That’s, of course, related to Ripley’s title reign so far. Ever since delivering an all-time classic against Charlotte Flair at The Show of Shows, the Eradicator has barely wrestled on television. Her male interactions continue to grow, driving the Women’s World Champion away from her supposed division.

During a backstage altercation last night, Becky Lynch mocked The Eradicator. The former uttered nothing but the harsh truth. The Man recalled how the Women’s title used to get defended almost weekly across the country when she had the gold around her waist. However, since Ripley laid her hands on it, it’s been the complete opposite story. She’s not even wrestling on the shows. Continuing her verbal assault on the Judgment Day member, Lynch said that Ripley has become a main-event side piece.

This small but effective interaction garnered a lot of attention from the fans. Most of them stood with the former Irish Lass Kicker. Maybe that’s how WWE is trying to turn this into a storyline. And most likely, at some point, Becky Lynch is going to trade blows with Rhea Ripley. It looks like WWE has started to plant seeds for their rivalry. The bout could take place on a grand stage in the future. Watch the video here.

Rhea Ripley is not booked to compete at Money in the Bank this Saturday. That will mark a month since Rhea last wrestled in the WWE. Triple H needs to come up with a better game plan for their top female superstars moving forward. Last week, there was a subtle tease about doing Rhea Ripley vs. Raquel Rodriguez in the near future.

Rhea Ripley & Dominik Mysterio kicked off WWE Raw this week

Monday Night Raw this week took place in Savannah, Georgia. Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley kicked off the show in their city. Dominik’s weekly booing tradition once again continued as the Enmarket Arena gave a thunderous boo to the Latino Heat. Every time Mysterio tried to utter a word, he was interrupted by loud boos.

After a while, hometown hero Cody Rhodes decided to light up the place. The sold out arena nearly blew the roof off Rhodes’ entrance theme. The American Nightmare looked in a really great mood and was supported by the fans in the arena. He soaked up the magical energy of his hometown.

Rhodes then offered Dominik, who had already left the ring with Ripley, to settle their differences on Raw itself. Seemingly agreeing to Cody’s offer, Dom rushed towards the ring, only to play a typical heel and mock the audience. He even uttered “f*ck that,” which even got captured on camera. Whatever the case might’ve been last night, it’s going to be an absolute feast in London this Saturday at Money in the Bank.
