Rhea Ripley made it personal.
WWE Women's World Champion Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio came to the ring on the March 25 episode of WWE Raw. Ripley noted that she felt like she was not getting enough attention. She noted that Becky Lynch, her opponent at WrestleMania 40, had been distracted with her feud with Nia Jax. Ripley said she was getting impatient, and Lynch should give the champion her full attention.
Lynch came out and noted that Ripley did not wrestle on WWE Raw these days, and Ripley fired back by saying that she did not have to wrestle to prove herself, as she could post something online and the "freaks" would eat it up.

Lynch then highlighted how she and Ripley had different definitions of being a champion, as Ripley posted her butt online whereas Becky busted her behind to get to where she is today. Lynch noted that there was always someone younger and hotter coming, and it was about how you bounced back when the chips were down.
Ripley then said that Lynch was a cockroach, and she was not impossible to kill, but she would leave her alive to see her continue to dominate. Rhea then said that she wanted to see Becky's daughter, Roux, call her Mami.
This remark lit a fire in Lynch, as she said that was Ripley's one warning about saying anything regarding her daughter. Becky said that her father never got to meet her daughter, so it was not a joke to her.

She also told Ripley that neither of them would be the same after their match at WrestleMania 40. Tensions continued to rise, and Lynch punched Dominik Mysterio. Lynch and Ripley brawled, and officials struggled to separate them.
