Rhea Ripley’s recent actions have raised eyebrows across the WWE Universe. Despite teaming with Women’s World Champion IYO SKY to defeat Giulia and Roxanne Perez on RAW, Ripley’s unwavering stare at the title belt post-match hinted at unfinished business.
The tension stems from SKY’s improbable championship victory over Ripley at Elimination Chamber 2025, followed by a successful WrestleMania 41 defense. While their current dynamic appears cooperative, Ripley’s history as a dominant heel suggests an impending turn.
Industry observers note Ripley could realign with Perez—fresh off her split from Giulia—to target SKY’s championship reign. Such a move would reignite Ripley’s villainous persona while positioning SKY as a resilient underdog fan favorite.
