WATCH: Rhea Ripley’s Buns Exposed At Elimination Chamber 2024 (Part 6):
• Rhea Ripley didn’t hold back in a recent WWE segment, delivering a blunt message to Dominik Mysterio ahead of WWE Bad Blood. During the September 30th episode of WWE Raw, Judgment Day (Dominik Mysterio, JD McDonagh, and Carlito) secured a win over the LWO with help from Finn Balor.
After the match, Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley exchanged words, setting the stage for WWE Bad Blood, where Balor will face Damian Priest and Morgan will battle Ripley.
Ripley mocked Dominik’s claustrophobia, saying he would “soil himself” while watching Rhea beat up his girlfriend from a shark cage. Ripley added, “Dominik could clean himself up with his new toilet paper merchandise.”
Chaos ensued with Priest taking out Carlito and McDonagh, while Ripley and Morgan fought at the entrance. Morgan saved Dominik from being trapped in the shark cage, allowing him to re-enter the ring and help Balor maintain control. The segment ended with Balor delivering multiple Coup de Grace stomps to Priest, leaving Judgment Day standing tall.
