Fans think Rhea Ripley made Solo Sikoa look weak
On 16 January’s episode of Monday Night Raw, the fans saw Dominik Mysterio humiliating The Street Champion by calling him a “wanna-be”. This caused a stare-down between The Young Mysterio and The Samoan wrestler, which was interrupted by the former Raw Women’s Champion. Then it was Ripley and Sikoa, who got into an intense stare-down.
It was this moment that stung the hearts of many fans. Fans are tired of seeing Ripley putting her nose where it does not belong and believe that Mami stepping up made Solo Sikoa look weak.
I'm getting tired of Rhea stepping up to men. That's disrespectful. She's not as bad ass as Chyna.

Getting tiring as hell having the guys back down immediately. Making them look weak as hell. Was hoping Solo was gonna Spike her

We're going to find out maybe even from Soquia himself that if she wants to step up like a man she's going to be treated like one because to their shocking surprise that's what happens when you enter a business that's mostly ruled by men eventually you get treated like one.

Stuff like this is weak. You put Solo in a lose lose situation makes him look weak no matter what he does

Dumb AF u just killed his entire gimmick

You see when Chyna was able to do this, she was accepting a fight and was ready to fight a man and could easily do it.
When Rhea does it, it's more like a dare to hit a woman, the men show hesitation.
It's just dumb creative, Don't do it because Nothing will come of it.

The Red Brand Show kicked off with The Bloodline coming to the ring and claiming Raw and SmackDown as their territory. But soon the faction was interrupted by The Judgement day members.
The audience of Red Brand saw Finn Balor stating that The Judgement day will decimate The Bloodline as they decimated all the other Tag Teams to become the number one contender for the RAW WWE Tag Team Championship.

Having Rhea in their corner might give the judgment day an upper hand in the Tag Team Championship match. The Title might even shift shoulders after the event next week.
It will be interesting to see whether The Judgement Day will take advantage of the Rhea factor or the Usos will continue to be the undisputed Tag team Champions
