Rhea Ripley has been constantly trying to intimidate Raquel Rodriguez for weeks. On the latest edition of Raw, Ripley interrupted Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez during a backstage interview. Let’s face it, as formidable as Rhea Ripley is, Raquel Rodriguez makes her look small due to the latter’s towering presence. However, The Eradicator still runs the women’s division with an iron fist.
After Liv Morgan once again told Rhea Ripley that she doesn’t scare her or Rodriguez, Ripley flew off the handle and delivered a headbutt to Morgan. This started a catfight between Ripley and Rodriguez. After their scuffle, Ripley took to social media to show the battle scars.

But they did not have the wherewithal to retain their Championships. Although Rhea Ripley caused them the title loss, Raquel Rodriguez left a mark on Rhea Ripley’s face.
Taking to her Instagram Story, The Aussie wrestler accused Raquel Rodriguez of using nails while fighting. In the picture, Ripley appears to have suffered nail scratches near her eye. She also warned Rodriquez that there was going to be hell to pay writing, “Apparently someone uses nails to fight… @raquelwwe your DONE.”
At this point, all signs point toward a clash between the two powerhouse women. But, by the looks of things, even Liv Morgan wants a piece of Rhea Ripley. It remains to be seen who gets the first crack. The WWE Universe was quick to react to the ongoing drama and voiced their opinions on Ripley’s battle scars.
