Rhea Ripley sends warning ahead of grudge match on WWE RAW

Rhea Ripley delivered a warning ahead of her grudge match tonight on WWE RAW. This week's episode of the red brand will air live from the Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas.

The 28-year-old will square off against Raquel Rodriguez tonight on RAW. Ahead of their match, Ripley took to social media to send a warning to her rival. She noted that Rodriguez hurt her first but suggested she would be the one getting the last laugh during their match tonight.

"You hurt me first. I’ll hurt you last. Monday Night RAW. Rhea Ripley vs Raquel Rodriguez," she wrote.

Raquel Rodriguez returned from a lengthy hiatus from the company at WWE Bad Blood earlier this year. She attacked Ripley during her Women's World Championship match against Liv Morgan, causing the match to end via disqualification.

Rodriguez and Morgan also unleashed a heinous attack on The Eradicator last month on NXT. However, Ripley was able to return in time for the Women's WarGames Match at Survivor Series and hit Morgan with a Riptide to earn the pinfall victory for her team.

WWE Hall of Famer praises Rhea Ripley as a performer

Paul Heyman recently spoke highly of Rhea Ripley and praised her presentation on WWE television.

The veteran returned ahead of Survivor Series to announce that CM Punk would be the OG Bloodline's final teammate in the Men's WarGames Match at Survivor Series. The OG Bloodline defeated Solo Sikoa's faction at the premium live event last month.

Speaking with SHAK Wrestling, The Wiseman shared that he would love to work with Ripley. Heyman noted that the former Women's World Champion has a strong on-screen presence, and he would enjoy interacting with her character.

"On the flip side, how can you ever look at a scene with Rhea Ripley and not say to yourself, 'I'd love to be in a scene with her. I'd love to play off that character, and that persona, and her presentation of herself to the audience,'" Heyman said. [From 37:29 to 37:47]
