Rhea Ripley's former rival shares heartwarming update alongside the RAW star

Rhea Ripley's former rival shared a heartwarming update with the 28-year-old ahead of tonight's edition of WWE RAW. Ripley lost her opportunity to recapture the Women's World Championship earlier this month at WWE Bad Blood.

Zelina Vega and Rhea Ripley had an epic rivalry in the past. The Latino World Order member challenged Ripley for the SmackDown Women's Championship at WWE Backlash 2023 in Puerto Rico but came up short. Vega took to Instagram today to share a photoshoot alongside Ripley and attached a message as well.

"Did you know that Gods Of Death love apples? 🍎," she wrote.

Ripley challenged Liv Morgan for the Women's World Championship at WWE Bad Blood earlier this month, with Dominik Mysterio trapped inside a shark cage for the match. However, Raquel Rodriguez returned from her hiatus and attacked The Eradicator to end the match via disqualification.

Despite the loss, Liv Morgan is still the reigning Women's World Champion. The 30-year-old will be facing Nia Jax for the Women's Crown Jewel Championship at the premium live event in Saudi Arabia this Saturday night.

Rhea Ripley reveals why she betrayed WWE RAW star in the past

Rhea Ripley recently disclosed why she betrayed Liv Morgan in the past while the two stars were in a tag team together.

In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, the former Judgment Day member revealed why she turned her back on Liv Morgan in 2022. Rhea Ripley noted that she sensed Morgan was going to betray her, so she decided to get ahead of it.

"So, I trusted her, until I started feeling like something bad was going to happen. I have been backstabbed by multiple partners prior to this, and I mean she has too. So we were both broken in the same ways and it was only about time that one of us were turning on the other. With us arguing, and us not getting along, and us losing our matches and her draining that killer side of me, and making me into this mushy little tag partner that she wanted, I felt like I was getting sculpted for a betrayal. So I thought I had to do it before she did," Ripley said. [From 04:18 onwards]
