Rhea Ripley comments on confronting Bianca Belair on WWE Raw.
At WWE WrestleMania 39, Ripley defeated Charlotte Flair to win the SmackDown Women's Champion, while Belair beat Asuka to retain the Raw Women's Championship. On the April 3 episode of WWE Raw, Ripley confronted Belair and stated that she would circle back to her eventually.
Speaking on WWE's The Bump, Ripley was asked to describe why she decided to interrupt Belair on WWE Raw. The SmackDown Women's Champion noted that she wanted to remind Belair that Raw is still her show, though she'll be focusing more on the blue brand moving forward. Ripley also noted that she previously earned a shot at Belair's title in 2022, but the match never happened, as she went down with an injury.
“I like a bit of mind games. I like being a bit cheeky and going out there and causing a little bit of havoc. Raw is still my show. It’s Monday Night Mami, whether Bianca likes it or not. I might be SmackDown Women’s Champion, but I ran that place with The Judgment Day, and I had to go out there and take my moment, my moment to show everyone exactly what we look like next to each other again. I was number one contender for Bianca’s championship, and unfortunately, I got injured, and that got ripped away from me. So I just wanted to remind her that I’m still here, and this is still my show, but this was my sort of warning to her, but also a little goodbye because I will be stepping away, more on SmackDown. But you might still see me here and there, I don’t know," Ripley said.
