Rhea Ripley has always been a force to reckon with. The Judgment Day member has proved time and time again why other stars should not mess with her. An example of that would be how she helped Dominik Mysterio gain his North American NXT title back. The most recent one is how she was influential in helping Damian Priest and Finn Balor win their tag team titles back. But being an unstoppable force comes at a price. After the show was over, The Eradicator decided to share the battle scars she got on the season premiere of Raw.

Rhea Ripley dueled with Shayna Baszler, an old foe from her days at NXT. There were no titles on the line. During the bout, Baszler kicked on Ripley’s elbow, thus giving her stitches there. The two stars went back and forth for a long time. The 43-year-old provided tough competition during the match. However, Ripley caught her off guard with a vicious back elbow which left Baszler stunned. But The Eradicator was in for a tough fight as Nia Jax showed up out of the blue.

Jax’s intentions were unclear but she was there just to beat up Rhea Ripley. Raquel Rodriguez stopped Jax from getting into the ring and dished out her version of some payback to the star. Zoey Stark entered the ring and attacked Ripley while chaos ensued on the ramp. This made the referee go for the bell and declared Ripley the winner and disqualified Baszler.
